No probs.
Anyways, with the crap known as the underground tourneys at the U of A, Tucson should still be alive. We could even move the venue to the TV lounge instead for weeklies?

**** dan. do it. and what'd you want when you called?
Hey guys. I'm going to Tucson. I was misinformed before, Team O9K--I'm going to be living at Casa Espana, just down the street from you guys. Either Saturday or Sunday I'll hit you up.
Yeah, nobody knows who I am, but I'm leaving Mesa. I've been going to tournaments in Mesa for years now. Granted, there wasn't always the best showing, a lot of venues and tourneys flopped, but this is where I've lived for 8 years.
First there were Mesa Weeklies, at GamerZone...the guys who were doing it stopped, so I picked it up, sorta. I was never a great TD, but give me a break, I was like 14. A lot of days sucked, many were great, and I learned a lot there.
Well, actually, even before those was SSR--you guys remember that? Most of you won't. Must have been the semi-finals when Levi smashed his controller in frustration, right? And I met DieSuperGlide-Glidadon-whatever other weird name-Sam, and Joe, and Sesh, and Tony--can't remember if you were there, Sean--and my weird and sucky friends were there and so was my "Kid" brother. And I think I even met--Dan, maybe not.
Anyway, after a couple of other random tournaments like Atomic Comics in PV and one terrible GameCrazy venue there was Graveyard Phoenix. This was big. I remember it being advertised for like 6 months in advance, and it was worth it. I can't remeber which OOSers we got, but I remember Zelgadis and King made it, and I saw Omar for the first time, and Greg and Brad and I think I even met Hanki and--his brother. And **** it--I had to leave early. People were yelling "UP-AERIAL, UP-AERIAL" and I was walking out the door as the finals played out. But still, I witnessed the legendary Team Shadowclaw eke out victories in doubles until they reached the top. That was spectacular. I remember I bought a new controller just for that tournament, which I'm still using BTW. Thanks for Graveyard, Coty.
Somewhere in there Sean held a tournament at a place in Tucson. I remember driving 100 miles with Ted (Shashin) and his mother and sister and Ben (X^3 or something) and my brother and a portable television screen on which we practiced laggy smash for 2 hours. Then, we got there, played through doubles, and I witnessed the power of the Ganon Cannon. This was around the time that Jaskolski and the SV crew were simmering--remeber the endless flame wars? I remember meeting him without knowing it was him and thought he was a cool guy. No hard feelings Jaskolski.
Things slowed down after that. School stuff for me, for others, parents cracking down, whatever. Goop held some memorable ones--the GAZT series.
Then there was AZOne--I was out of town for that one, but I remember hearing awesome things. Not much to say.
AZOneTwoStep--good stuff. Brawl was out by then--unfortunately--and the face of Smash had changed forever. That wasn't the important thing though. The best thing about AZOTS was--the people. Taj's boxing, Wobbles' lols, and Tai and KGA's faith to Melee. From the old days--Trent, even Casey from Laveen! That was crazy!
So I have to wake up in a few hours to leave the Phoenix scene for--well, a really long time. I don't have much to say. Probably few people remember all of these events--because they're my memories, obviously, I guess that's the point. It's weird, this sounds like a "goodbye smashboards" thing but it's not at all, I'm just getting sentimental. So yeah, I'll still be smashing and whatever in Tucson, it just won't be the same.
Time to wrap this up. Thank you, Phoenix.
tldr: Goodbye Mesa.

INTERESTING FACT:
I was at the Mesa Weeklies in GamerZone. It is where I first met Taj and his Mewtwo which prominently made me quit Smash about 2 years ago before join date.

All right, sentimentality aside.
O9K, when do you want to play. Yes, I am assuming you want to play.
Here's my number. I'm probably going to be busy with class for a few days, but if someone gets this later this afternoon I'll hit your place up. I don't have a connection at the apt. yet so I can only get online randomly at the Info Commons and stuff.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually pretty free for me, Wednesdays no, and MF are variable. TR are the best bet to play sometime.
Give me a call or leave your number or whatever.
Also, other guy who posted his own UA thread--which dorm are you in? I'll probably have to post this there in retrospect.
Brawl's fine, but I'm ALWAYS up for Melee.
Later.

Anyways I'm always down for 64/melee/brawl. I'll be around campus loitering a lot today so if you're free, call/text me. I'll PM you my digits.
And call me Jackie, I always feel awkward going by online alias when spoken out loud haha
