hey!! I found several hotels in Eagan, does anyone wanna room with me to save costs? Im planning on coming in on the 20th fairly early and leaving the next morning?? hit me up if ur interested! xoxo I would be interested in rooming with you, when were you planning to head up? I haven't check into the hotels yet. I know there will be another person with me as well, but I will have to double check with her, but if we can bunk the cheaper the hotel cost would be and Im all for that!!
Yay! I'm so there! Can't wait to meet all you fabulous ladies!!! 🫡 🫡 🫡
i'll most likely be coming up the morning of the 20th and leaving the next day...nothing set in stone yet, just what i'm thinking...
ohhh..... I'm in. I think we get paid again before then so I can probably pitch in for a veggie tray or two and some sodas. Thank god for the Costco membership!! i'm so super excited, and it's awesome to have some good news this week.

I'll be in pole chat Friday if anyone wants to further discuss plans about hotels! 😀
Ha Ha...took me a while to find that (Eagan) in the Road Atlas...guess I should get with the modern age and use map quest. I will ask for the Friday off tomorrow. I'm planning to come. I'll drive to Minneapolis on Friday, stay overnight...and come home right afterwards on Saturday. I'l try to get a final answer for you by Friday the 5th. Joel Lessing

I'll be there! So excited to meet everyone 😬
Greetings to all! I'm brand new to the site, and I don't yet have a pole or any poling experience (I'm saving up $ for it ^_^). I would love to come to the Midwest Pole Jam if that is ok. I'm from the Grand Forks area (north of Fargo), but my husband has guard duty that weekend in the cities and we'll be staying in Farmington (just south of Eagan). I can help by bringing snacks/beverages, and maybe even helping a bit with transportation (if hubby gives the o.k.). For those of you not familiar with the area, there are lots of fun things to do in Minneapolis/St.Paul - but you might especially want to visit the Mall of America if you have time. It gets pretty darn cold here sometimes, so you will definately want a toasty warm winter jacket, hat, & gloves. Here is the link for the public transportation: http://www.metrotransit.org/ There is a lightrail that connects the downtown area to the airport and as far south as the Mall of America. From there, there are a few bus routes that can take you into Eagan - but if I get the go ahead from hubby, I could pick some folks up at the MoA (I can fit 5 besides me). There are tons of hotels, and many offer complimentary transportation from the airport to the hotel. Also, there are many hotels along the lightrail line, especially by the MoA. I hope this helps a little bit. Please let me know if it's ok if I attend, and also what kind of snacks/beverages would be preferred. Take care until next time! 😀 <3, minnesotagrrrl

Hey minnesotagrrrl! I didn't know there were any other woman out here that were into pole! I live in Fargo!! My son lives in GF so I'm there alot!! Anywho...I'm planning on being at the pole jam...I will drive down on Friday and stay til Sunday...I can probably help with rides as well! Looking forward to meeting everyone!!!
yeah, if anyone needs help with transport i'm in Downtown St. Paul. (30 Min north of Eagan) I'm in Texas rignt now so my access to internet and SV is sketchy right now, but let me know and I'll get back to you. I'd volunterr floor space but we live in a loft and my hubby might be put off by a Studio Veena sleepover and no bedroom to retreat into. 🙂
ahaha! I am glad you guys know your way around! I am hoping to borrow a gps from my bf's parents, but beyond that I wont have a clue to what hotel will be near the studio or where people will be staying at?? I would like to know if someone is staying at a hotel that way I could be at the same place and to save gas and what not to car pool??? I will be happy to buy treats/snacks, but it would have to be something to easy to transport!! Let me know if anyone has any ideas, so i can book the hotel in advance 🥂 I cant wait to meet all of you!! I am so psyched!!
I'm getting so excited to meet you all! Sounds like a lot of you will be coming in on Friday.Would anyone be interested in a Friday night outting? I doubt you all just wanna sit in your hotel rooms all night anyways 🙂

OH MY GAWD. so now you guys are going to the strip clubs!?!?!?!?! oh dear lord. now i really want to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!! waaah!
Hi Litlbit! I saw your interview - and you are awesome! That is so cool that you're in Fargo - I come down to visit some of my friends there pretty often. 🙂 I live out in the country and wanted to find a way to stay in shape. I am so excited about poling & totally stoked to meet you and the others at the PoleJam! 😀
SASCHA! You need to save up some $$$ and come!! Hehehe. Please? Do what you can girly!! Minni...it would be great to meet you too looking forward to see everyone!! OOo so to the strip bars! This should be interesting b'c i never went with a whole bunch of women before!!! 🥂 This is going to be a whole lot of new things for me and im excited!! 😀
For anyone interested in traveling, but not sure if it's affordable - I thought I'd share this link: "http://us.lastminute.com/";. It's a travel site where airlines and hotels dump seats/rooms and what-have-you when it gets close to the date and they're not sure if they'll sell them. So lastminute usually only has stuff 2 weekends in advance - but at pretty good prices. Kind of nice if you want to take a spur-of-the-moment trip. Hope it helps. ^_^
I'm definitely coming to the jam! I'll leave some time Friday Afternoon, stay overnight...and drive back to Chicago right after the jam. I'm pretty excited about it--it will be my first official pole jam at a pole studio. I can't wait to meet all of you--and see friends from the Chicago SV pole meet-up last year. Joel
LOL, too funny...I just said the words "Mall of America" ...and all of a sudden Laurie said..."Oh really? Maybe I WILL go after all!" OK, so I map quested it for anyone who is interested in a general description of the location. Bodyblast, 2020 Silver Bell Road is located about 4 miles south of the Mall of America. Anyone approaching the Twin Cities from the East on the Interstate 494 bypass would exit SOUTH at State Route 77 which is called Cedar Avenue. This is in the general area of the airport. Driving south you should immediately see the Mall of America on your LEFT. Continuing SOUTHBOUND 3-4 miles, cross over BLACKDOG LAKE (the wildlife refuge). Within a half mile of being over the lake, you should see Sibley Memorial Highway (route 13). EXIT EAST onto Sibley...and Silver Bell Road is about 3/4 a mile down the road. Conversely, anybody coming from the south along Interstate 35 towards the Twin Cities will come to a fork dividing 35EAST from 35WEST. Take the fork that says 35 EAST. Very shortly after the fork will be an exit for State Route 77, which is called Cedar Avenue. Exit North onto 77 (Cedar Avenue). Go 3 or 4 miles to Sibley Memorial Highway (also called "13"). Exit East. Silver Bell Road is about 3/4 mile down the street. Judging by the GOOGLE map, there is a MacDonalds roughly near the intersection. If you see Golden Arches, you are likely in the right general area. Joel Desperation Strategy: Would be to ask any local person "Which way is the airport?" Cedar Avenue is part of the loop-de-loop that circles the entire airport. As soon as you see it (it is also called 77), then STAY on it or (GET on it in a southwards direction) southbound until you cross over the Blackdog Lake. Turn East onto Sibley Memorial Highway until encountering Silver Bell Road 3/4 mile down the road.
Bodyblast is in a office/warehouse park. It kind of looks like it's in the wrong location. The couple times I've been there I've been sure that I was in the wrong place almost until I pulled up to the door. Fair warning too. We're expecting a couple storms. They should be over long before Friday but in case anybody is coming in early just be warned. Joel, you have to take her to the Mall of America. It's something everyone should experience at least once. Did anyone decide on a Friday night outing? I won't be able to join up until about 10 or so but after that I'm game.

I'M COMING!!! LOL Where is everyone staying? I'm SOOOOO EXCITED!!!! Can't wait to see all you guys poling!!
Yay litlbit!

I never been there myself! Although I dont have a lot of money to spend but it would be neat to walk around at!! I havent decieded if what day I will be coming up, I would like to come up on friday after my class gets done with at 9am....or shortly after that... so for those who are traveling any tips on where to stay??? Would like it to be reasonable as much as possible!!
