I want to attend, but I usually can never make it to these things. If I do make it, I can bring a cube, and possibly a tv.

I'll go to some of these.
I can bring a cube and game.

Ryan, with all due respect, get off my back.

A bunch of people expressed interest in the other thread right off the bat, but nobody has given me anything definite or been any help in suggesting a date except for Alukard who basically posted to say he wasn't going to bother.

None of the usual suspects from around New England and New York seem all that interested anymore. If we're going to be getting the same 8-10 person turnouts we've been getting, I'm not going to bother.

The way things are looking now, we're gonna cancel this tournament and try for a weekend in February. I'll post and let everybody know once we're sure.

Duly noted, but I kind of felt like complaining anyway so it's just as well.

And yes, Matt. We do.
