I'm pretty positive it won't be this weekend, and next weekend it's possible that brawl will be at the Cave, but not sure.

The shooter's sister was my babysitter growing up. They/he lived on my street for a number of years.There was a school shooting today at Northern Illinois University. 17 people were involved in some manner, 4 were killed. I wasnt even completely sure if TJ still or ever went there, but I know it was near him at least.
I was really concerned because he hasnt been on smashboards for the last few days, and he isnt online either.
The same question goes for anyone else who may be in the DeKalb region....Jazzness?

Oddly enough, he seemed like a nice guy. He gave me what is now my entire NES library of games.
It's freakin weird.
I hope everyone else up there at NIU is all right.

Out of curiosity, does anyone live around Homewood? I've been wanting to go some tournaments, but I can't find any.

Does anyone in the area have Brawl, and more importantly if you do are you interested in getting together and playing today?

All I see is a big white box with the words "Visit City-Data.com" in it....

I live in Vernon Hills right around there
Just directly north where it says "Leithton" in small letters.
That's pretty much exactly where I live
(I don't have Brawl yet though)

heh sorry, didnt see it amoungst the chatter. The only time i play smash on weekends is at tourneys or something out of state non-smash related. I'm big on traveling so i don't get much time at home, or else i'd set up my smashfests again. (for those of you who have been around long enough to remember those)

Hey guys! First time for me here in the Regional Zone. Obviously, this was the first thread to catch my eye. You can definately add me to the list.
Name: Copperpot
Location: Aurora, IL
Main: Bowser/Metaknight (The first post is a little confusing, being that you say you aren't taking down mains, but the list shows several mains.)
EDIT: Correcting my own stupid mistake. It took me a few seconds to realize that they are all Melee mains . . . doh.
Well, put me down for Link/Bowser as my Melee mains.

I'll have you know, I'm no pro. That doesn't mean I suck, though. For a casual, I'm pretty darn good.
