if I bought these amtrak tickets to union station, chicago, would anyone be willing to house me for 2 nights, pick me up from da station, and send me back to da station early sunday morning?

I would need a teammate too

I promise lots of smash! luls
This is just a maybe for now lol, if michigan didn't have a tourney on the same day i'd be sold

if u took a train to the suburbs i can house you. You would want to get on the BNCS line to the route 59 station

last i checked its 4 or 5 dollars each way

Binyan you should go. Also, I've been strongly considering taking trains to chicago tournaments. We could be train buddies and it would make the ride a lot more bairable

too bad my train probably wouldn't pass through edwardsville
you should check though, just go west to whichever city is closest lol

if you went this week i'd for sure go
train rides are way more comfortable than car rides

also @ sveet: 4-5 bucks x2 is too much =[ plus MORE sitting time would be balls



Waynee how far is vro from the station?
when you say far do you mean like, an hour walk?

according to vro it's a 15 minute walk (i asked him about this yesterday)
the train goes to alton (20 minutes from edwardsville)

no way I can afford to go booking this close to saturday
as long as we coordinate well in advance (and tournaments are dated well in advance) I should be able to go with little problem

You should charge a door fee for people without setups, only about 1 in every 5 people brought one last time and that number is ridiculous. There is a huge difference between " I CANT bring one " and " I'm too LAZY to bring one. "

^ we had around 15 setups with 44 singles entrants last time. Thats a 3 player/tv ratio which is ideal for a tournament. I don't see the need for a door fee.

The snow is falling horizontally here, I'm enamored. I'll still show, even if I do spin off the road in a 720º fashion.

At SGNG4 we had 14 running for most of the time and i know there were one or two people i told we didnt have space for their setup. People did an excellent job bringing setups.

theres noone thats all THAT close to union station, but kels/rat are about 30 min drive from it, so they might be able to, if they can ride out there....ask one of them.

and vro not going this weekend, lameeeeee!

just do an extra 5 bucks and come to roselle station. i can pick you up from there.. it'd be only a 30-40 min extra ride on the train

EDIT: i think i know you from before atma.. were you norcal? before zhu became popular? i remember you telling me about him and playing him a lot and saying he has a lot of potential, then he started beating SS and became popular. do you remember me? sniper? socal's most technical fox? xD

EDIT 2: oh you might be better off going to sveet's since he's probably closer to CoD
