Miss you Ryan
Just tell your parents you are going on a trip to spend an entire day with some guys you've never met, and that you know they're legit because they said they had candy.

90% of the time, it works everytime

Hell, I live here and I don't know if I want to spend a night in Chesterland period.

By the way, I'm looking at colleges this week. I'm making my rounds of MidWest colleges, and I'm already set to tour University of Michigan, Ohio State, and Ohio University. I've got a 4. cumulative and a 2000 SAT but no ACT score. anyone in the area have any recommendations of places to check out?

Oh, and just to have a back up if XlaurousisX can't take me, if anyone is coming near Marion, I would be willing to help pay for gas and/or help drive.

I'd honestly suggest that people pass thru Marion, OH the day before anyways...there's gonna be a tournament at Mr. Ego's the night before and I'm gonna be pitching tents in the backyard at my place afterwards

and...maybe buying some 30 inch pizzas?

*Sigh* I still have to post for the event...

I don't get why GUNPUNCH! needs housing since my house is like 1 hour south of Cleveland.

The tournament will be in Marion, OH (for those who went to CoK last year in Delaware, it's about 25 mins north from there...) I am going to call tomorrow to get all the details from the owners of the game shop (Mr. Ego's)

You can prolly crash with me at my place...only thing is that there's prolly quite a few ppl coming, so it might come down to pitching tents in the backyard (still, pretty big backyard)

And to answer Sliq...my hometown is better cuz we have 30 inch pizzas ^.^

That's why Gunpunch! needs housing in Marion

Man, this is a circuit tourney and it's 6 hours away.... not fair! :(

Is anyone passing through central Indianapolis? I can contribute however much gas money you would want me to if you would be willing to give me a ride to this (and back to my house after it's over obviously).

EDIT: I guess what I'm trying to say is that I just can't drive that far myself, it's too exhausting. I would definitely be bringing my DS'es and whatever else I would need to keep myself entertained throughout the ride. Anyone who is coming to this that is longitudinally westward of the IL/IN border is either really dedicated or just insane! Being able to give me a lift would be too good.

EDIT 2: Kel - since you're one of the main people in charge of the circuit, can you explain to me what a circuit is for, how circuits are organized, and how they benefit tourneys and TO's that use them? I think I'm missing a key part of this picture.

Circuit events are group-event tournaments that are throughout the Midwest. There will be at least one circuit event for each 'Eastern' Midwest state. You obtain circuit points by attending these events respectful to how you place in the tournament. Separate points are assigned for singles and doubles. At the end of the circuit there will be a championship. The people with the top ranking of circuit points will receive the pot that has been saved throughout the circuit.

Unfortunately, no, this isn't a weekly thread...

But there are 2 good opportunities to head to a tourney nearby within the next 2 weeks before you leave

UPDATE:

It turns out that Mr. Egos in Marion, OH is going out of business by the end of the month, therefore, they will NOT be hosting the tournament on June 20th...

Looks like I gotta take it upon myself to host this mutha...

All in the first post I believe. Should total out at 25 dollars a person to participate in everything, 20 dollars if you bring a set up.

I'm actually going to be looking at the U of M- Dearborn campus because Ann Arbor does not have a journalism program.

When I find out when I'm touring I'll give you the heads up.
