Guess dis my last time posting about this, I know I look like a ***** (XD) trying to find a ride to SNES, but if anyone knows someone that would drive there, just ask, I'd really enjoy to go to SNES and bring my GF with me for one last time until I gotta leave her after the tourney, I'd be very happy to have her at the tourney which gives me 2 more days to be with her, so please if someone knows someone, ask S'il-vous=plait!

A ride? Don't people normally fly to Texas from here? Either that or take a long train ride. You'd be pretty insane to go to HOBO by car, lol.

Welcome to Michigan, man.

MSU has a decent Smash community for both Melee and Brawl, but of course and as always, UM is better :D
Ha. The gap is going to close a lot this year, at least in Melee. Football and basketball is going to be no different though. :p
Where is this? As far as I know I'm the only non-melee Smash player that uses Smashboards or AiB at MSU.
Correct. I wasn't aware of a big brawl community. I know RJ plays brawl and that's about it.
Thanks, and yes they are better but I'm a spartan now, so i got to hate UM. I'll be living on campus so let me know if you ever do anything smash related, or know of any good places to play around here.
Welcome to MSU. I'm sure you'll love it as East Lansing and the campus is great. Just bundle up in the winter because the walks in the cold aren't as fun. But walking in the cold is never fun.

Yeah i know what you mean about the cold, when I was in Puerto Rico I accidentally let the AC on high for too long, it was brutal man.

MI is kind of like that, right ...? :)

Let's just say, last winter, there was a 2 week period where there was 10 inches of snow on the ground, and the temperature was around 0 degrees.... xD

You'd have to be pretty insane to go to HOBO via a bus to chicago then a train from chicago to Houston. All by yourself.

:D

I just moved to East Lansing from Puerto Rico.

Smashers from E.Lansing or MSU let me know of any upcoming smashfests nearby. Looking forward to joining the MI smash community.
Welcome to East Lansing and always know now that you are a member of the best school in Michigan.

East Lansing has a good Melee scene that is improving quite some bit, if you are interested, but about Brawl, I have no idea.

wwell it seems that NoJ is willing to drive to SNES, renting a car (cuz his sucks like he says) so if anyone else from MI wants to go, you could get in and pay some gas. But yeah... thank you people for the help. (maybe /Sarcasm)

I've already mentioned it to NoJ, but my car got overbooked because of Judge. So RareTruffle from California is coming to MI on train, around midnight tomorrow I think, to ride the rest of the way with me. Instead of some one sitting in the trunk, now I figure he can go with NoJ.

I was up at 7am because I had early morning class. 3 hours of lecture (and I skipped the 4th hour), 1 hour of lunch (which I'm currently on now), and then I have to go to a lab review session which entails me opening my dead human body to look at his various structures for the next 3 hours. And today is my shortest day of the week. Then I have to go home to memorize the material for tomorrow's dissection, and catch up on some histology. I'll probably have something around 2-4 hours of free time tonight after I get back. The rest will be spent studying.

So yes, **** your life. You have it so bad because you have to wake up at 8:30 in the morning to register. Nothing could be worse than that.
Yeah, **** your life indeed... I mean it's not like after all that studying and hard work you're going to be able to become a doctor and make mad bank... oh wait :p

Ha. The gap is going to close a lot this year, at least in Melee.
Naw, UM's making pace to actually get good at melee and pull back away from you guys :p

So RareTruffle is actually already here.

He's at the Motor City Casino.

The only way to contact him seems to be through AiB, so if you can pick him up go message him there (His name is RareTruffle).

I hear NoJ has a car to go to SNES? I really really really want in on that. I'll meet up /w the car like wherever they want pretty much and I pay good gas moneys. I didn't pre-reg myself for SNES but I'm pretty sure I can still get a pass at the venue.

Howdy! Apparently I'm pretty awful at reading and did come in a bit earlier than expected. I managed to get to the Motor City Casino and am on their wifi. ( I have a laptop )

If anyone is willing to help me out it would be most appreciated. You can reach me on here, aib, or aim.

aim = robertwbenge

Thanks. : D

Plane tickets cost less than what you would pay to go there. O_o
Round trip from OH to MA is $350... Greyhound tickets are $200 round trip from OH.... $120 is a very generous amount of gas money, but if someone like me were to pick him up that would add an extra 4 hours drive time to MI to pick him up and 4 more hours to drop him off. Combine that with the 11 hours to MA and back we're looking upwards of 30 hours in the car. Not counting stopping for gas etc. The trip would be about 1500 miles there and back, 20 mpg = 75 gallons of gas * $2.50 a gallon = $188 for gas alone. This doesn't include wear and tear on your car, the oil change you'll undoubtedly need upon your return, and giving the driver some extra money to thank him for driving 30 hours. Granted, if the gas money is split 4 or 5 ways it's like 50 bucks a person. Ally's a cool guy though, and he's bound to make money at the tourney regardless.

PLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZPLZ Save me a spot in that car! I really need a ride and I'll pay good gas money. I can also meet up with you guys when you drive through Cleveland or something, so I'll be right on your way.

Also, don't you have to be 25 to rent a car?

my friend in OH could use a ride(ithrowthings) im sure hed be willing to pay
