ROFLMAO, I just got dumped.

[Shiken]

Isn't our hotel room in the venue though? It says there's no charge if you have a room there...

ROFLMAO, I just got dumped.

I'm back.

Wait, wat? O_O;

Also quickpost for now cause I'm at work, but kerg has to work until 1am friday morning... So it looks like we can't leave thursday night afterall =((

 

[Nike.]

I hope that's not spreading

 

[ToferTheHuman]

Our hotel is not at the Venue.

Also, you do know that Friday is the day the tourny starts right?

 

[TheAlpacaMan]

People riding with me. What time did we want to leave tomorrow?

 

[IG88]

Tofer, what time is SA getting to the hotel? So I know what time to head that way

 

[Poltergust]

ROFLMAO, I just got dumped.

I'm back.

The girl was crazy, dude. Calling up people in the middle of the night (using your phone) and stuff...

But seriously, yay! You're back! =D

People riding with me. What time did we want to leave tomorrow?

I'd like to get there while there's still daylight, so any time from 1-4 is good.

Aww...
Sorry to hear that, Chris.

Also quickpost for now cause I'm at work, but kerg has to work until 1am friday morning... So it looks like we can't leave thursday night afterall =((

Aww...
Lucky that Xyro has everything that I'm entering (Brawl pools and 2v2) scheduled for the day I'll be tired and dirty from driving. :<

Today sucks, I'm going back to bed until tomorrow.

 

[ToferTheHuman]

I think we agreed to leave at 11.

 

[Mike2]

ROFLMAO, I just got dumped.

Sorry to hear that. But glad you're back! Time to rematch XYRO in an epic battle that was prophesied in ancient times

Spoiler

[Shiken]

I'd say we should leave friday morning around 8 or 9 at latest. I can help drive part of the way if you think it'll make you too tired, since we're the cause of the delay and all :<

 

[Zigsta]

OMG Mike, that picture is AMAZING.

 

[Kerg]

Yes, really sorry about Thursday night. Stupid work schedule is all out of whack.

How far is our hotel from the venue? Maybe we'll luck out and both hotels will be on/near the express train route, eliminating parking needs/fees entirely, just the little train fee. Of course I dunno if the trains stop running at some time of night.. It's an idea I guess? Or we could, possibly, walk... if it's within reasonable distance.

Anytime you want to leave Friday morning is cool Shaun. I might actually just suck it up and drive to Shik's after I get off at 1 so we can go as early as you want.

 

[ToferTheHuman]

It has been said more than once, the venue is at least 20-25 minutes from the hotel.

 

[The Nameless Wanderer]

Good luck to everyone going to WHOBO.

 

[Mike2]

Hey guys, don't forget to bring your Wiis(and power cords) tomorrow.

 

[Sky Pirate]

Umm... Sorry, I was a little tetchy earlier because I didn't sleep at all last night and barely got an hour of napping in when I got home.

1. Would you guys mind leaving at 7:30 A.M. on Friday?

2. This question is directed mostly at Zifien, but would you guys mind meeting at Shiken's before we leave rather than driving to individual locations to pick people up?
I'm not sure how far away from him you guys are, so IDK if that would be convenient or not.

3. I may or may not take you up on that, Shiken.
I've been told my car's kind of weird when it comes to acceleration and handling, so I probably won't.
Thank you for the offer, though.

 

[Shiken]

by the way, following people still owe me money just fyi :3

mike2 (pizza from last smashfest xD )
and everyone that rode with me to nikefest hasnt paid for gas yet either.

7:30 am is fine by me, i have no idea where zifien lives tho so i guess we await his answer then

 

[Mike2]

k. How much total is that?

EDIT* ya just remembered i didn't go to nike fest with you. lol was thinking pik a nik. but yea much for pizza.

 

[Poltergust]

Wait, I'm sure I gave you gas, Shiken. Didn't I pay you before I went back with Mike2? Since I only rode with you over there I gave you half of what everyone else was supposed to pay.

 

[Shiken]

i remember telling you the amount for sure, not sure if i actually got it from you or not though...

 

[Poltergust]

I'm pretty sure I paid you before I left. I even paid Mike2 before we left (or maybe it was at the gas station...). I had the money, you know. It'd be weird for me to just walk out on you like that without paying.

 

[Mike2]

Gahhh Completely addicted to this right now. Section from 1:00 to 2:08. It's so amazing. Goosebumps.

Random cool(and HUGE) images I came across:

Spoiler

Shiken, $10 should cover pizza. No?

 

[Shiken]

yeah that should be good. and i'll just assume you did pay me then polt. so just need the others

 

[Sky Pirate]

So should we stop by the hotel before heading to the venue or just go straight there?
IDK if anything or anyone needs to be dropped off or picked up before the tournament.

ONE LAST REMINDER BEFORE PEOPLE START HEADING OUT

Don't forget to print out your confirmation email if you bought your pass online!
I think you need it to claim your pass!

I'll see those of you that are heading out today tomorrow. Drive safely!

 

[TheAlpacaMan]

Early morning post. My carpool is gonna leave around 1-2. Where is everyone meeting so I can pick them up?

According to xyro's post, it sounded like we only needed to bring an I'd to pick up our passes. Can we get some clarification on this? :o

Also whether we go to venue or hotel first, I guess that depends on when the early group leaves for the venue. I'd prefer to stop off at the hotel first if we have time, though, as long as we're at the venue in time to pick up badges and get over to enter 2v2.

Collin would it cool if you picked up at my place? 11613 James B. Connolly 78748

I have a GPS if you want me to bring it for the trip, too.

Yes, you need an ID.

 

[Sky Pirate]

An excerpt from the e-mail they sent after registration:

"This is to confirm that we have received your registration for the event listed below. You may click on the link below to view your detailed registration record. Please bring this e-mail with you to the event, as well as your Government Issued ID (Driver's License, Military ID, etc.) to the Pre-registration area when you arrive at the hotel. Thank you once again for registering for Anime Matsuri 2010."

IDK if you actually need it or not, but I printed it anyway.
If you don't, I wasted a nickel's worth of materials.

 

[Shiken]

That's odd, I doublechecked my confirmation email and it didn't even have that line you listed about needing to bring anything to pick it up. Weird, but I guess ill print mine anyhow.

 

[PantyRaider08]

I didn't have mine last time, and I was fine. If you have any problems, you could just open up your email acc. and show them.

 

[IG88]

Anyone know what timepeople are startin to get to the hotel? I just got there and am crazy bored lol

 

[Shiken]

So jelly, you're already there, I'm still stuck at work till 6:30 >=(

 

[Shiken]

Actually, they're letting us out at 6. Soooo anyways shaun and zifien, if you wanna come over tonight, practice a bit, then all leave from my house in the morning, thatd be cool. Might be a bit easier than picking us up?

 

[theeboredone]

Good luck to everyone, have fun, and Ricky, don't go too crazy with that al-al-al-alcohol.

 

[Sky Pirate]

To anyone that's riding with me, my cell number is 512-786-3746.

Shiken, that's very kind of you. I'll have to decline, though.
I might have to go pick up tofer's beanie and go food shopping tonight.


EDIT: O-KAY! I think I know what's going to happen tomorrow.

1. Pick up Erek (possibly at Blanton). ETA: 7:30 A.M.
Reason: If I'm late picking up Shiken and Kerg, at least they'll be in the comfort of his home.

2. Pick up everyone else. ETA: 7:45 A.M.

3. Drive to Houston Hotel (that reminds me, I need tofer's number). ETA: 11:30 A.M.

4. Finally head to WHOBO. ETA: 12:10 P.M.

If anything, I can drop you guys off at the venue and look for parking on my own.

 

[IG88]

3. Drive to Houston Hotel (that reminds me, I need tofer's number). ETA: 11:30 A.M.

his number is 210-326-4310

 

[Sky Pirate]

Thanks, Mike. :D

Zifien just contacted me.

Zifien - Not that it need saying, but be at the Blanton by 7:30 A.M.

Shiken - Be ready to leave at 7:45 A.M.

Kerg - If you can't go to Shiken's place in the morning, I'm sure he can direct me to your place or contact you or something.

- Car maintenance completed.
- Electronics and clothing have been packed.
- Fuel obtained.
- Meeting points set.
- Course plotted and double-checked.

All tasks at hand have been cleared.

 

[Shiken]

kerg will be driving to my house when she gets off work at 1, so we'll be ready at 7:45
