While I agree, and my mother feels the same way (she trusts my judgment verily), my father doesn't (especially due to the age of many of the smashers that would be there) and I'd rather not ask him for a ride (due to the slim chances) and the chance that he may change is mind about letting me go on the 18th if I asked "Hey can I go over to a 20-some year old's house to play some video game over the weekend? 8D."
My mom will very likely let me go the week after the tournament, though; she's just out of town this weekend and loldad.
Hopefully I'll see you guys the 18th and we can do some mad friendlies there (Look for the TROGDORRRRR shirt!!!), hope you guys have fun this Sat. without me
