I'm not TOing anything in the near future, but just a reminder to anyone that wants to step up, the CoD venue is free to use, and there are absolutely no date restrictions. I know a lot of people have been talking about wanting to TO/help TO a tourney (DLA/Akashi/etc..) Go for it guys!
If someone sets up a tourney I'll help TO, but I have no real motivation to set it up myself. Idk, we'll see of that changes anytime soon.

Anyone got advice about the megabus or something about it, vs me taking my car?

I'm trying to think if the megabus is worth it over my car in the long run.

My advice: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/..._1_megabus-double-decker-bus-crash-bus-driver

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/08/14/two-more-lawsuits-filed-over-fatal-downstate-megabus-crash/

Megabus seems pretty shady. Based on my understanding, federal law requires a bus driver to inspect his vehicle prior to operating a bus. This inspection includes brakes, steering, and tires (with one of the major steps being tread wear and depth). The official statement from Megabus said the bus had been checked within the week, but busses are supposed to be checked daily. It's like question number 1 on the general knowledge test for a Class B CDL lol

I think if I did this at my new job I'd be terminated.

I can see that, even more so with what happened to Kain going to Whobo.

If I counted gas, it's cheaper overall, since it's under 100 for both ways I think. Where as my car would be a lot more.

Probably am doing it since I'd be driving solo if I drove.

An awesome person told me to ask here for a ride to Retribution.

I'm currently at UChicago (Hyde Park area). I'm 100% willing to pub trans/walk to a more convenient place for pickup, if that's preferable to people.

Yo chi I still need a teammate too.

I don't think I'm gonna be able to randomly show up the venue and get a partner like Pink Fresh again.

I thought you guys moved from Chicago tho?

Delta arent you in NJ??
I'm from NJ.

HOWEVER, I got into the greatest University ever, University of Chicago, so I'll be living in the Hyde Park area for at least the next 4 years. At least during everything but summer.

And no, it's not the University of Illinois in Chicago. University of Chicago. We in there.

I just don't want the gay guys hitting on me to go along with it lol.
Thats part of the trade off.
Some sacrifices must be made.


I'm a little afraid to go to boystown though, I was in McDonadls like two days ago and some random man asked me if I was a model and if he could have my # and I'm in the loop.


I might get snatched up or something in boys town




Or maybe I can get me a sugar daddy.
