Hey there! I’m a dad and a thrower and I will be attending US Nats this year. I wanted to throw out an idea and see if we can get anyone on board for a kid-friendly meetup one night during the contest. There are a lot of goings-on with the younger adults and single/child-free folks after hours, but I hadn’t seen much for those of us who haul along our kids.
There is a Level 1 Arcade (https://www.level1arcade.bar/) opening up on Main Street in Mesa in April. As long as that goes as scheduled, that may be a cool place to entertain and feed everyone, including our kiddos, and may well have space for mom and dad to chat and throw a few sick tricks. I may be able to get a reservation or something too if we can plan ahead enough.
Open to other spots as well, but mainly looking for indoors. I’ve been a native Tucsonan my whole life and feel I’ve absorbed enough heat for ten lifetimes already.
What say you, daddios?
