[Fatchu]

Southwest dosen't fly into newark, sad day

 

[Palpi]

I really liked the newlyweds commentary. =] They hyped it alot and gave good information about the players and characters.

 

[Melomaniacal]

Yeah, I don't get how someone can say they have no hype. They are amazing commentators.

 

[Alex Strife]

try the following airports


Newark
La Gaurdia
Philidephia International Airport

 

[da K.I.D.]

subscribed, and likely attending.

 

[ajp_anton]

I will go if the flight prices go down (currently >$700). But I don't like having so many people and events (Melee+Brawl...) in only 3 days.
Might bring recording stuff if I actually get to record hype matches, unlike at P4...

 

[P. O. F.]

I'm attending.

 

[Eval]

Special Guests

Obviously one of the things I love to do is to help provide people from everywhere a chance to come to my tournaments and experience a great event. With that in mind I am announcing the following groups of people attending my event based on speaking with them.

• Armada + Most Europeans including possibly Calle W
• The Japanese
• Mexico
• M2K/Umbreon Mow promise Isai as well

Im getting interested in this. I'm starting to save money for this! Also I'm gonna spread the word here on PR and see who else comes with me. Hopefully Ill see all you guys again at this.

Im trying to convince HDL to come with me but he says he most likely wont have the money by then. **** PRs economy. ;_;

Anyway its still to early to say no. I hope this tournament beats Pound 4 attendance!​

[ZeonStar]

Im up for Brawl+

 

[toasty]

This tourney will be on my list of things to do this summer.

ROAD TRIP? ^_^

Might bring recording stuff if I actually get to record hype matches, unlike at P4...

there was a massive lack of coordination when it came to recording videos.

I got faith in Mr. Strife though as media is a huge forte of his. I'm pretty sure recording setups will be labeled/properly identified and that matches will be designated to those setups accordingly.

I was kinda miffed when I heard "for your bracket match just find whatever TV is available" on the mic at Pound 4 >_>

 

[TLMSheikant]

What are the rules for this? (Brawl and melee)

 

[M@v]

I'll just drive. Its like a 7 hour drive, oh well.
