Kirk house hype!

Also Tom, register for Apex bro. I just checked the Entrants list, and everyone that is supposed to go from IL/WI is on there but you.

I'm entering Brawl just to have the experience of entering Apex, even though I don't play the game anymore

I don't expect to do well in any game though, I don't practice at all :/

It looks like the best route is to take a taxi from the airport to New York Penn Station. (about 15 minutes)

Then take a train into New Jersey. I believe the stop we get off at is a few minutes from our hotel.

Ill do some more research when I get home though.

best of luck to all who are going to apex.


and trains are the best, you run into old ticket punchers that bust out a 3 minute freestyle rap. ricky and sammytown know what's up.


I'll probably see you all at your next tourney. :) ...maybe

We can also ake a limo service straight to New Brunswick. I found one for $135 for 5 people = $27 each.
The train is $13, and then however much for the taxi or there is a bus too. So for a little more we can get directly to the hotels.

Also: Who all is in my hotel? Its the one that is further away but there is a shuttle service that can get us straight to the venue for free.

I think it was tentatively:

My room:
Me, Yoshq (not on Th night flight), Ook, DLA, Sago (earlier flight)?

other room (at other hotel):
Scythe, Arty, Zwarm, Red Ryu?

Sago is on the same flight as me, were flying into the same airport, and were prolly gonna be taking public trans since its early. I have housing though so I won't need a room, thanks alot though for looking out

Also wtf is DLA trolling or is he not gonna register for APEX?

Also lmao that ticket puncher was the most legit freestyler I've encountered in my life. He laid it down

So our specific flight (out of midway at 8:00pm) is

Me
Diego
Tom
JJ
Ook
Mike
Justin
Jacob

Anyone else I'm missing? If not then I guess it's manageable to take the limo, 4 people per limo ($34~ each)

OK, so its actually 7 of us so that 5 for 135 deal won't work, but its gonna probably be even cheaper, I'll let you guys know soon when I get an actual price.

EDIT: if its 8 I got an 8 for $179 that will meet us at baggage claim. = ~$23 each

I was kind of looking forward to an adventure on the famous New York City Subway system, since I am a fan of public transportation :colorful: but a limo would be pretty hype as well.


P.S. Do one of you have an extra controller I can borrow for Apex? It would be much appreciated. :)

So we got either:
http://www.bergenlimo.com/airport-car-limo-service.html
or
http://limoride.com/index.html

The first one was $179, but then you have to add tolls and a tip (I think that should be $40 total). The second one is $250 flat fee.

So option 1 is apx. $27.5ea and option 2 is $31.25ea. From reviews online and whatnot my mom rec recommends the second one despite being a little bit more. Opinions? Also want to make sure everyone is on board for this or else it would get more expensive.

EDIT: There is also another one that was pretty cheap, but the website looked like it was made on geocities or something lmao
