-Armada + Most Europeans including possibly Calle W

All around the world I will be doing my part to spread the word for brawl and melee. Obviously if you know me personally you know that no matter what this will be a great experience.
Travel Plans:
Airport Information
Newark International Airport (Code EWR) is the closest airport to Rutgers University, about a 40-minute train or car ride to New Brunswick, NJ. Philadelphia International Airport (code PHL) is about 1¼ hours from Rutgers, but there is no direct train route to New Brunswick.
Train Information
If coming from New York City or Newark Airport, take the NJ Transit Northeast Corridor Line train and exit at the New Brunswick station. Once there, contact either me or one of the TOs and we will pick you up.
Hotels
As of right now I am in contacts with several hotels for a reduce rate. For now though, please visit
http://www.hotwire.com/hotel/results...earchTokenId=2 for a lot of reduced rates there. Most of these are pretty close to Rutgers and should not be an issue.
