I'm up for any local tournaments including the pre-APEX if rides are provided for.

 

[bertbusdriver]

as long as someone with a car agrees to drive, the only cost will be gas money

 

[TuxingtonIII]

I could technically get 4 more (I think I have 3 backseats, lol) in my clown car.

Probably the best/latest date for a fall tourney would be Nov 5, after that, it's a tradeoff between people being displaced by Thanksgiving break and people being free during Thanksgiving break (and Veteran's Day, go figure).

Was there going to be smash tomorrow? (Tues). I was pretty productive today, so I'd be fine with that.
UPDATED UPDATE: There should be something going on tonight Wednesday

 

[bertbusdriver]

tonight should be good for me

 

[Ripple]

I may be going to peoria to play smash train with dart!

 

[bertbusdriver]

that's awesome ripple.

anyone interested in smash to the future next weekend? i think i'm going.

[PSICaramel]

Aw yeah, Health Actuarial here I come! For some reason it's always been insanely hard for me to get any on-site interviews, but once I get one I'm 4/4 in getting an offer. I guess I'm just so goshdarn charming. YES! We're waiting on you now, Matt!

 

[AOB]

Oh, you got a job?? Nice. What company?

4/4 is a lot better than 1/8. Evidently I'm not so charming.

 

[slomo431]

Wellpoint.

1/1 for my internship. 2/2 for my first full-time job search. And now 1/1 after almost 10 months, so my 4 is a little misleading vs your 8. I'm not even close to being as good as getting those on-sites. I guess we're both luckier at one aspect of the job hunt but it evens out. I rarely get past HR for some reason.

 

[SuperMatt]

ive only had one on site interview haha

0/1

nice job henrik

 

[bertbusdriver]

yo let's start working out the details of SMYM durand...

 

[slomo431]

Yes yes I need a reason to come back to Champaign. Also a reason to start playing Melee again.

 

[AOB]

Same here.

Me14k (is that it?) said something in the facebook group about doing another SMYM. Maybe you want to get with him. Or maybe he was just dreaming out loud.

 

[bertbusdriver]

i just talked to him this week. he doesn't want to TO.

 

[Dekuschrub]

it isn't very hard. bun bun will do all/most of it for you

just go in there and talk to amy knowlton. most weekends are pretty open

 

[bertbusdriver]

thanks alex. should i be careful not to mention that there will be money involved? also what was the cost to rent the venue last time?

current UIUC guys: make sure to register for The Big House if you're interested in going and post that you've done so here so we can make travel/housing arrangements...

Also, i need confirmation of who's going to Smash to the Future next weekend.

 

[PSICaramel]

I registered and I plan on going next weekend

 

[bertbusdriver]

PM me your phone number. Do you have a car? I'm not sure if jack or tim are going yet, so dunno if we have transportation yet.

 

[TuxingtonIII]

Yeah, I'll go to Smash To the Future -- didn't see any required registration for that, but I registered for Big House.

I.e., I'm in for both those.

 

[bertbusdriver]

cool. there's no pre-reg for smash to the future. can you drive if jack doesn't go?

ninjaedit: obviously we'd give you gas/drug moneyz

 

[TuxingtonIII]

foshizzle. Guess that means I'll have to clean out my car; it's only been 2-3 months. Don't worry about gas monies -- but that aforementioned drug money...

 

[AOB]

The folks at the McKinley Foundation know who we are, even though "we" isn't always the same people. So you would want to relate it to the video game tournaments that have happened over the years. I don't remember ever being asked whether there was money involved, but I wouldn't mention it. I mentioned it at the Wesley church and they said nope, can't do that.

 

[bertbusdriver]

ok thanks AOB. i always remember how much i miss justice league when you post. and static shock. DC animated universe was the ****

 

[Dekuschrub]

thanks alex. should i be careful not to mention that there will be money involved? also what was the cost to rent the venue last time?

200 dollars or something like that. then there was a 150 dollar deposit that is refunded at the end of the tourney. it costs a lot of jack to set up, but you get it all back plus a little when its over.

don't really mention its for money. they won't really ask. just tell her youre with the smash tournament people. She knew who we were when I spoke to her about smym12.

probly february would be best datewise. that way you can get 100+ EZ

 

[Dew Rag]

smym 13 now issit?
I've lost count =(

 

[TuxingtonIII]

So is anyone else wanting to go to Smash to the Future this weekend? I should have 2 more spots in my pimpmobile

 

[bertbusdriver]

PSIcaramel PMed me and said he has a friend who ain't on smashboards who wants to come. not sure if goolick's coming yet.

 

[bertbusdriver]

goolick ain't coming.

ripple: if you see this, we're going to smash to the future this weekend and there's room on the car for one more guy. post if you want in

 

[Master Ppv]

When / where is this "Smash to the Future"?

 

[bertbusdriver]

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=308906

 

[TuxingtonIII]

So Google says it's almost a 3 hour trip, so we should probably leave sometime 8-9. You guys have my phone number.

Technically still 1 more seat if anyone wants to come~

 

[Ripple]

goolick ain't coming.

ripple: if you see this, we're going to smash to the future this weekend and there's room on the car for one more guy. post if you want in

sorry, I'm heading up to chicago on friday. lol

not for melee though

and I'll be leaving early too so you won't see me.

btw I would love to host the Next smym here. I'd be a great TO since I probably wouldn't play

 

[Juggleguy]

Bert/Ripple/anyone else involved in planning SMYM:

PLEASE make it on 2/25 or 3/3, those are the weekends coinciding with UM's spring break

 

[SuperMatt]

also inquire about getting the upstairs room instead of the downstairs one....i dont think they rent it anymore but its worth a shot because it's a lot nicer room

 

[bertbusdriver]

ok we'll try for both of those things

 

[SuperMatt]

andy, put in the good word for me at humana

i had my first phone interview with them

but for some reason i dont have much faith

tell them i can melee well

 

[AOB]

Did you find out what department? I always asked them but then I'd forget what they said.

 

[SuperMatt]

no i have no idea....i dont even know what job im being considered for, the recruiter called me and told me the development program is ideal and she told me to go online and apply for that spot but I cant find it on their site

i applied for the standard actuarial analyst role but it sounded like i had no chance at those

did you do an internship at any point?
