Luke, if you guys go, would you have 2 spare spots for Josh and I? I'll pay for gas $ and I'm sure Josh would too.
you guys are not exactly on the way there. it isn't up to me, ask the driver.
and it's unlikely I can go to this anyway

its a metra station in glen ellyn. If you take the amtrak into the city, you can switch over to the metra.

to the peoria dudes, you have to take the train to chicago bc there are no stops for amtrak in glenn elyn. you have to overshoot the venue to get to chicago, then ride another train.

you're better off driving, IMO.

Eh, from the looks of it, a train ride from Galesburg -> Chicago = $50 each, if we get the seats right now...but I'm not dishing out that much money just for a one way trip let alone two way....I'll see if I can drive...or is anyone going to be driving from the southern area of Illinois near Peoria-ish that'd have two seats available? We'll both dish out some gas money

Blah, looks like our plan of going up there is nixxed unfortunately =( So Dart and I can't make it...*sigh* I had planned to go to 2 tourneys by the time SMYM came around so I'd have some experience with other playstyles but it appears I'm just going to have to come in afraiding of nothing.

I'd honestly have came but Dart's momma is throwing up a red flag for him going and I don't really feel like train riding or car pooling solo so ehhhhhh =/

Kind of off topic but....Tink, you still driving a white '96 Grand AM GT =P? They're pretty boss besides for when you're trying to go to Springfield Amtrak stations >=D

I don't do camping and i take the train for two reasons. Smash, and my grandparents. since i can't go to my Gparents, she obviously would have known whats up. Trust me im top tier at lying to my mom but she okayed me going...and because i was late to school im now unallowed to go to this. So FML.

Point towards your knee and say that's why you were late to school. That or tell her she's being immature. I dunno if that will really work but if my child told me I was being immature I think I'd have to sit there and evaluate myself and the repercussions that may result from me not letting my child go to a Smash tournament or whatever else for that matter.

Hahahaha Chris I hope you mean with Bowser. It's impossible for falcon to win with Kels in these parts. Slow characters on the other hand, have a great shot. It's not like Kels can beat Ganon either.

I think i'm gonna change the venue fee bonus. Instead of going to whoever knocks out kels, its whoever knocks out Matt R (Tom if matt doesn't show, and Rat if neither show; if none of them show i'll just throw it in the air for the first grabber). I think thats a bit more interesting.

Get in a fight with someone and get forcefully kicked out. While being forcefully kicked out, request the money for knocking yourself out of the tournament.

I wish more people from my crew could come =(
