Canada at APEX 2012 | UPDATED. CHECK THE LAST PAGE

[Patches]

KBMX is confirming for apex. Matt, you might remember him. Nathan? From ingersoll. Which means he's down to get drunk down there. So +1 for a hotel?

 

[Mprime]

Got no problem with splitting a hotel with ppl as long as there is room and thy split the costs evenly

 

[Patches]

Well. Let's see. Me, you, mr l (Eric, right?h, Googs, KBMX. As far as I know? Cause I know Joe has a room with others. But yeh. Sorry for typos. Kinda drink.

 

[Mprime]

Oh? I thought joe was sharing a room with my group. We need to get hotel rooms clarified once and for all.

P.s. anyone going in on a hotel room with me just letn yah know me googs n joe and maybe eric if he drinks plan on getn wasted and hotel room surfing with all the cool international smashers

 

[Patches]

I'm in for that.

 

[Mprime]

Bus schedual up yet? Id check
But im crashn now and im lazy too

 

[Patches]

Don't think so. I'll check when I get home

 

[Mprime]

Tickets only up to jan 3 and round trip to ny lookn to be about 170$

 

[Patches]

I'm expecting a price drop for us since january 3rd is the end of Christmas vacation

 

[Mprime]

Still the 3rd , i think you are right patches. Lol no one gets a cheap bus ticket on christmas

 

[Patches]

Exactly. Ahah. Theyre gonna drain people of their money when they get the chance.

 

[Cruxis]

keepin my fingers crossed

 

[Patches]

Apex is in NJ. Megabus doesn't tak us to ny. So we'll have to take public transit there

 

[Mprime]

I truly feel MPrime is the best player in the world and he is also super smart

Awe gee, thanks tinman

 

[Mprime]

Apex is in NJ. Megabus doesn't tak us to ny. So we'll have to take public transit there

Oh true, and mega bus does take us to ny

 

[Patches]

Exactly. I'd assume it's be less than $15 to travel with the public transportation there

 

[Mprime]

Bus tickets dropped to 100$ round trip i believe and the schedual for most of january is up. What time do we plan on leaving to get there and what time do we wna leave to come back. I personally believe that we should leave early on friday morning to go there and then leave sometime not too early on monday. The reason i don't want to leave to early on monday is because i want to have some extra time incase of any inconviences considering we are travelling completely by busses and subways. Also, since mega bus is not going to NJ where is the nearest location that we can bus to and take public transport from there? I also want to take care of hotel rooms once and for and have everything booked and ready real soon. I am sure not as of rate now how early we should book our hotel room but i would imagine it would be wise to take care of these matters within the next 3-4 weeks.

 

[Patches]

I can investigate all this once I et home tonight or early tomorrow. I'll be leaving Friday morning, for the record

 

[Mprime]

One more thing i forgot to mention is every single person jumping in on a hotel room must split the costs evenly with everyone else in my group. I will be booking the room under my name with my credit card so every needs to pay me upfront whatever the cost may be per person. Pretty much i will take care of the hotel financial business everyone else has to pay me upfront friday morning on the 6th. One more note i wish to point out is i do not want to pack the hotel room to far over the limit, 1-2 ppl extra at most so basically 6 ppl will probly be the max ppl i feel comfortable having share a room with me. I bring that point up for 2 main reasons: 1- i dont want to get caught smuggling ppl into my room for it is againts hotel laws and you can be charged. 2 - i dont want the room to be too crowded. I do not mind taking in extra ppl just not too many plz. I would really like to avoid anythin that could rly fk us over in a different country.

 

[Patches]

Count me in that room

 

[Mprime]

Ok sounds good, so far it is:

Me
Mr l
Patches
Googs(maybe)
Joe - i know you said ud be down but i remember reading something about you already having a room so id just like to confirm if ur rooming with us. It would be awesome if you do.

P.s. cant wait to drink in NJ

 

[Patches]

I'll talk to KBMX as well

 

[Patches]

Okay, so looking at the megabus prices. Here is what I recommend doing for those leaving on friday.

We leave Toronto at 12 PM, so noon. We arrive shortly before 11 PM. It costs $12.

Same deal with coming back on Monday. So in total our bus will cost us $24.


I'll be buying my tickets for this on Thursday. Let me know what you guys think.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Wait, prices are up?


Okay.

Gonna look at them later... Am I the only one leaving on Thursday? I don't wanna be alone on the bus

 

[Patches]

Pretty suretinman and everyone else is leaving thursday

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Oh ok. All is well.

I'ma leave travel plans to other people, since I'm terrible at planning this sort of stuff.

 

[Patches]

I'll update the OP with travel information and hotel information when I get on the computer

 

[Mprime]

I like those times and prices but what time shud we leave monday, im thinkn around noonish. Also, where is this bus taking us??? I am pretty sure it doesn't go to nj so where is the next best place for us to be dropped off at. Keep in mind we will have to commute from where we get dropped of to the hotel, will public transit even be available past 11? (assuming we get there in time). And same thing goes for monday, we gta commute to our bus stop. How long will that commute be, when is public transit available that day.

 

[fUddO]

I'm planning to leave on Thursday.

 

[Mprime]

Actually i think we shud leave earlier on friday, no mega bus goes to nj so it looks like we are going to philly i believe and then commuting from there to our hotel ( anyone know the nearest hotel to the venue?). Since we gta take busses and subways n what not after we get to the states we shud give ourselves some extra time
. Lol so far as it stands the only departure time to philly is 11am and the returning journey available is 9am. Those seem
To be our only options avialable atm.

Lol 1 more thing, where are u seeing this 12$ trip patches i am seeing 54$ per trip 0.o and some1 plz correct me if mega bus goes to nj

 

[Patches]

No worries Matt. I'll figure everything out. I'll talk to Keitaro or Alex Strife and figure out the best way to get from NY to NJ. What time their subways end at, etc etc.

If we go to Philly, it'd be a longer ride. NY is closer than Philly is. The earliest we can leave Toronto to NY is 8:00 AM. We arrive at 6:45 PM. It costs us $23 dollars.

Then we leave from NY to Toronto on Monday at 12 PM for another $23 dollars.

$46 in total.

Regarding the public transportation, I will figure all of this out. Don't worry.

 

[fUddO]

There's a train from Philly to NJ. That might be a better option than going to NY.

 

[Bing]

For the record, Im attending APEX, for Melee, maybe Brawl as well, but probably not considering it would be my second tournament for brawl XD

 

[Patches]

There's a train from Philly to NJ. That might be a better option than going to NY.

It's also two states away where as NY is right beside it.

@Bing: I'll talk to you regarding this at the tournament. I have a question for you actually, so if you would. Could you PM me real quick?

 

[Bing]

Okay so I Pm'd, but what did you want to talk to me at the tournament about?

 

[Patches]

Travel plans. I wanna talk to everyone at the tournament about it.

 

[Tin Man]

Bought my Tix

 

[Toronto Joe]

we are ****in in there!
