Yo, James, buenob passed through Kingston today so he and I were discussing tournament plans, and the conversation turned to attendance. buenob told me that he could be ragingly upset if you don't come!

That guy is actually pretty good. he played some nice licks outside of the careless whisper chorus once in a while in the video.

my friends and i were thinking about doing that but i only have a tenor but it'd be pretty hilarious

There's a program out there where you can identify people through their pictures. I think it's called tin eye or something...

GO Recordings and MeleeInternational

Hello everyone, be prepared for a big block of text… with a summary at the bottom.

I had a quick correspondence with prog the other day, and he and chain-ace have decided to open up the proposed MeleeAtlNorth Youtube channel found HERE to other communities, namely, ours. I do not know at this point if a MeleeInternational channel will be made, but that seems to be the case.

Anyways, my point is that with the OTTAWA TOURNAMENT coming up with so many high-level players attending, we have a great opportunity to showcase our talented community to everyone. I think that now might be a great time for individuals to highlight their ability and willingness to utilize their recording equipment for the benefit of EC Canada’s Melee scene. I myself will be doing my best to co-ordinate a few Dazzle’s and a DVR. I would greatly appreciate it if I could receive some feedback, so that we can organize and successfully execute match recording.

An aside for the curious, GAMING OTTAWA will technically own the recordings, but that is just a formality so that they can potentially use the material for promotions in the future. They have no qualms with us independently taking care of recording and eventual uploading.-

tl;dr If we record the Ottawa tournament, then prog and chain-ace will upload it for wide exposure. **Get back to me**

I don't see the point in going on friday, it'd probably be leaving early saturday and it's a question of coming back late saturday night (aka sunday super early morning) or coming back sunday after staying the night in ottawa...

As for cars, I think it's boiling down to me or James + pogogo. Pogogo only has one seat left in his car I believe and I don't exactly know what his schedules are for going to ottawa and coming back.

If there's a spot in a car, I'd highly appreciate a pick up in Kingston (it's on the way, can meet in a plaza with food places just off the highway) whenever they stop for food. I don't think I can go another way since Andrew's car kinda got owned. :O

Kyle

check your pms, please. I sent you my address.



If people who are driving can bring a tv/setup or two, that would be awesome. I have 2tvs and one setup already.

Okay, I am going to confirm my car for going to this...whoever is interested in going with me, please contact me asap. 4 seats (potentially 3 since its stupid to have Jack jump in a car with someone from Toronto...)
Okay then, only 1 seat left for my car. Um, I also would like to attend your casuals tomorrow Charles.
sooooooooo that means one seat left after accounting for me?

what's the schedule looking like? hopefully i don't work much

Yeah, the seat is counting you. As far as schedule goes I don't know yet. Even my work schedule consistency is questionable at this point. We will talk later about what we plan to do in terms of how long we're staying.
Can I confirm a seat with you until i'm 100% sure I have a ride there?

I'm sorry I don't understand. Are you saying you have another means of getting there but its unconfirmed and you'd like to confirm in my car until you find out that your other ride is available?
Yes. Bernard told me I can get a ride with him and ryan in pogogo's car, but i'm not sure how reliable that is. I just dont want to get stuck with a last minute "oh, btw, we forgot to save u a seat" situation.

^^ LOOOL that reminds me about that one time from... taking back saturday? trying to get bernard on everyone's laps LOL

also, i'm stupid and forgot that at my work the week ends with saturday and starts with sunday (like many other cultures do) so i can still book off sunday =D

sooooooooooooooooooooo ideally at this point leave early sat and sunday will be chillz

but i don't know about friday yet. ideally this isn't a full weekend trip as my parents will flip since i can't use a school trip excuse since exams'll be done lol

that's kind of funny, exams are done but you still can't go out and have fun? =/ usually that would be a GOOD explanation.

anyway, sounds like the car is james, jack, me, mike apparently (dunno if you pm'd james yet?), and however many spots are left. doesn't make sense to leave a spot open for nick driving to and from toronto so we can squish him in somehow the day of.

While I never got an exact address, my understanding of where Nick's place is in Ottawa is that it is very close to the venue, probably no more than 15 minutes round-trip. A more appropriate situation would involve Nick taking a city bus, or someone picking him up who lives in Ottawa.

or someone who has a car could pick him up after dropping off the ppl in their car at the venue?

Mamoswine is ugly, it's like someone threw a bucket of clown paint and a Mr. Potatohead face onto a Piloswine.

Also, I recommend James car not meet me at the highway but like 5 blocks further down for the most sexual amazing poutine you'll ever have in your lives.
