Please let me know as soon as possible if you plan on coming. If we have enough people coming we will consider moving the location to have more room.

You guys that have been to my place. At what point are we going to get crowded and should look into moving the location? Don Larkin's would be my first pick.

The hub rules for King Kong

Are 3 fingers only thumb index middle ?

As far as I can remember

"Only the Hub is to be grasped. To keep this lift within the spirit of the Hub Lift (proper ‘claw’ style), only the fingertips of the thumb, index and middle fingers are to grasp the Hub. The fingertips are the distal phalanges. The other two fingers may oppose, or not be on at all. These are the fingers that grasp slightly slanted."

From world of grip rules page. Bolding is mine.

You can use all 5 fingers or you can use just the three. I use all 5 but Dave Thorton is stronger only using three.
