Will edit in more as I go. Tired Physically (from changing gears a million times in peak hour), mentally and emotionally from that week.
OMG, Kaz-style shoutouts! ^-^
Kas, Triss, Aaron, Aron, James and anyone else I forgot:
You probably have your reasons, buts it was a shame not too see you cool peopel this time around.
Ryan and Zac:
YEEAHHZZZZ!!!!! Zac, I've really stated to like you a lot more in the last month or so, so much fun! We should get the dudes over for Melee more, don't mind me being crabby, people just need to be not so loud here, cause it scares my cat.
Ryan, I'm so happy you won, its been a LONG time coming and thouroughly deserved.
Loved your shouting, and excitement in the crew battles!
Arrow and Rune:
Thanks for the driving you guys did. It makes SO much difference to me, and your also both too nice and fun. I love your calmness and coolness Doug and Arrow, everyone loves it when you are around, Goldeneye Wavedashing! MILF! DEFENSIVE SLAP!
Billy and Trent:
Billy, your always such an entertaining person to have around, DKR was good as always.
Trent, thanks so much for driving peopel on the Saturday, hope you slept comfortably and sorry for taking the long way home. :embarrass
Attilla and Cao:
Thanks for coming and entertaining us all by challenging our superior local talent.
Tom and Leisha:
Don't worry about getting me anything for having yas stay. Really. Spending quality time with you guys is worth more than anything. Snowboard Kids on the floor under a table (not a metaphor) was superb.
And, Tom you have to upload that Falcon pose of the year from Dreamworld.
Scoot and Meteor:
Scoot, hope you got some valuable experience from this trip. Enjoyed the TV tanking?
I think you might have left a towel up here.
Meteor, your either bouncing with energy or the living dead. Next time I'm going to have to ban people getting sick I think.
And sorry for making an absolute meal of the train/plane leaving.
I think I owe you. Again.
Gords and Max:
Gords, you were an absolute life-saver on this trip. For real one night
.
You kept me sane at times when I would have stressed out, and kept me company at critical points, I loved your CONSTANT enthusiasm and cheery mood. We have so many good in-jokes from this trip. (random guy at DcMonalds at 3am: (looks ut us) "OMG its the Umbilical Brothers!")
Max, hope you enjoyed yourslef, ya looked bored on day 1, and fair enough though.
We'll Melee it up more often from now on.
Hotdogs and Rocko:
Hotdogs, great job of captaining the Brisbane team and then to get the interstate crew battle happening, that was great initiative and leadership shown there, we are lucky to have you.
Look foward to lots more fun in the future!
Rocko, great job in the crew battle, we were all very excited watching that!
Kickflip:
Always great to see you dude. Never mind the results, although I think you had a lot of fun with friendlies and whatnot so it don't matter. We shall tank your Lucas for the next crew battle!
Ghost:
Looked like you had fun on Saturday, always good for you to come along. Hope you didn't get 3 stocked by public transport again.
Moose and Sieg:
Moose, its always a pleasure to have you there, Tin-Tin and Cat Face quotes especially.
Sieg, what you run tournaments as well now? Madness. We need more Mario Party till 6am in future. :D
Antho:
Thanks so much for organizing all of this.
Really, I can't thank you enough for giving me something worthwhile to do with my time, and your constant dedication to get things done.
Really, because you go to the effort to do this stuff, the positive knock on effects are truly massive for so many people.
Legendary.
You were right about the size of the crew battles, they were actually really good with those numbers.
Bad luck about getting PUMMELED as the opener of the crews.
TWICE! :D
Chris and Rob
The 2 insane improvers on the Melee front!
You 2 are so nice and fun to have around, well done on Brawl sinlges Chris, yours so strong under pressure!
Rob, we gotta play heaps more Melee, I think our matches could be something real special now that Gords' tech has rubbed off on me.
And Goldeneye!!!!
Toai and Ben
It was great to see you again after SUCH a long time Toai! Thanks for leading us to central station!
Ben, thanks for coming over on Wednesday, sorry you had to wait for us, hope you aren't too flood affected and I agree, Leisha did a fine job of them Tacos.
KONG!
Bloody good job with doubles!
Hope we can see you more in the future. Possible hold meets at your adultshop/house?
I'm sure I've forgotten people, sorry I would have loved to play more friendlies and just hang out with people and not leave the venue 5-6 times, buts thats the way it goes. :/
Someones gotta do it.
