OK so let's all wear red this Saturday for Phase 6. It'll be ******, having a big communist group of Austinites show up in the same color. And then whenever we have teams (or crews) we need to wear the red color every time. It'll be awesomely gay.

Wearing red sounds good. More importantly, every time an Austinite is playing a tournament match, we need to cheer him on!

Unless it's RedShadow.

Which is ironic cause we're wearing red and it's RedShadow. This irony is also ironic cause iron is a reddish colour when it rusts. Which is even more ironic, cause when Kal is rusty, he gets angry from messing up, and anger is red. And furthering the irony, Kal is going to get brain cancer from this post and its rampant misuse of irony, cause everybody knows cancer probably involves blood which is red. In fact, blood contains iron, another delicious irony!

Yea, I technically have 4 spots open... I'm not a huge fan of driving a bunch of people home, but I can live with it. I've just never driven on a road trip (even a small one like this) with more than one or two people. Plus my car is new... so you have to treat it like it is your god :p

Also, red is not OU. The melee red looks nothing like OU's red. And there's no burnt orange color in melee :p
k, sounds good. where exactly do you live, I'm on 21st.
what exactly is Melee red? you mean when you do a team battle, that red?

An inexorable part of bringing the Austin melee community to life is coordinating the shirt color we wear to major tourneys. So, if you're not wearing red, we'll have to cut you and use your blood to dye your shirt!
Rohan, bring pom poms--you can be our designated cheerleader.

What's the schedule for Sat? I think it's about a 4 hr drive so we'll have to get up and leave kinda early. Specifically, we should leave b/w 6-9am depending on when we want to get there (doors open at 10am, melee doubles starts at 1pm). I can bring a full setup (small TV that will fit in Edgar's trunk + wii) to waive a venue fee. Should I bring a recording setup? And I'm guessing we'll leave Dallas at 8pm or later, so get back after midnight. It'll be a long day!

Some club business
About the next 3rd meeting, Sat, Feb. 27th: my idea to increase turnout is to have a Brawl Singles tourney (with informal side events of course) and to start advertising now. So I'm gonna reserve the room for 4-11pm (unless somebody protests to these times) and print & post flyers asap.
I think this tourney won't involve money but the 4th meeting on Sat. March 6th will have a money tourney and we'll start advertising for that next week.

Make it for money and mention it on the Austin Barlw thread and you can probably guarantee a decent turnout.

Also, I feel the Austin Melee Thread needs more usefulness. Start posting there guys!

:urg:

Edit: I should start using the edit feature.

Edgar, that was post was amazing. Link, I live up north, and I don't really feel like driving south when I'm going to Dallas... unless I absolutely have to. I can take Jamal because he lives north of me.

I might be entering the "Barlw" tourney cuz its a great opportunity to maybe face Hylian or Bored (assuming they're there), so if it conflicts with that, fraid not.
:p

And JF, since Kal lives much closer to you, maybe Kal can ride with you, and I can ride with Edgar?
You okay with that Kal? If not then you'd have to come to campus.
:/
also, wats ur cell number if I want to get in contact with you?
thnx

I'm sure Kal would love riding all the way to Dallas and back with his two favorite people in the world: JF and Jamal.
:p

Edit: But that does seem logical to have separate carpools for North and South Austin.

No, Tirno insists that I ride with him. We were going to do gay stuff during the 4 hour car ride.

No homo.

Let's get a list of everyone going first and decide what we're doing from there.

I'm indifferent as to whether or not Kal rides with us. I just don't want to deal with his mouth for 4 hours straight.

No homo.

Also, Kal, if you do ride with us, we might leave Friday night (JF isn't sure yet) and we might stay at Bluezaft's.

I'm indifferent as to whether or not Jamal goes to Phase 6. I just don't want to deal with him throwing a tantrum every time a match doesn't go his way. Which is frequent, because he's terrible at smash.

Like I said, I was already planning on riding with Edgar. Not that I'm against going with JF or anything. Edgar and I just enjoy our long car rides together.

>_>

My brother can accomodate a couple people Friday night so it's possible that Rohan and I will drive over tomorrow. A couple other people could ride with us, but my brother has limited space and not sure if Rohan wants to drive a bunch of people.

Come now, Jamal, we all know that's not true.

So who from Austin is leaving again? >_>

Clay, can you and Rohan take anyone with you?

Ok, Rohan agreed to leaving tomorrow with his car as long as I drive. We can take 2 other people. If you want to ride with us (and stay at my brother's UTD apartment for the night), contact me asap.

Present austin carpool situation

Rohan's car, leaving today before 6pm:
Clay
Rohan
Hector
Kal

Edgar's car, leaving tomorrow morning:
Edgar
Mitchell
Matt

JF's car:

All right, since Kal wants to be gay, Clay and I have agreed to drive up to Dallas Friday evening and stay at Josh's apartment (clay's brother).
He can accommodate only 4 more people at his place, so the two people who want to ride with us, speak up now.
It'd be convenient if you lived on/close to campus.

Burden of proof fail?

Anyway, you've acted that way since I first met you. When I went to your place and never said anything, you still got super ****ing upset. And you've thrown fits at tournaments where I wasn't even present.

Don't try and blame me. It's ****ing ********.

Also, Austin people, don't forget to wear red on Saturday. It'll be ****ing epic! JF has agreed to beat Darkrain as long as I beat DoH. So all I have to do is run away and laser for 8 minutes two matches in a row again DoH and Darkrain will lose.

Rohan, Kal isn't being gay, he would just prefer to ride with certain people, similar to how you preferred to ride in Edgar's car since you know us better than JF and Jamal.

Anyways, I estimate Rohan and I will leave campus around 6pm. Josh says he doesn't have much bedding so bring your own if you want to come with us. Also, there's one couch; others will have to sleep on the floor. :/ We'll be driving back to Austin saturday night whenever Phase 6 is over.

I really have no problem riding with JF. I luh JF. He's a little goober.

Seriously, I just want to know what's going on with respect to when everyone is leaving and where people will stay. I want to minimize hassle for everybody.

It's not a hassle for Rohan and I to leave Friday. I was already wanting to do so since I wouldn't have to get up early Sat morning and could spend some time with Josh. And I don't think Rohan had plans for Fri night.

Actually that wasn't the reason I called Kal gay, its cuz of wat he wanted to do with Edgar.
:p
sarcasm of course.
But also, it was because JF lives closer to Kal and Jamal, while you and I live closer to Edgar, itd be less of a hassle. I wouldn't at all mind riding with JF, but it doesn't matter anymore, we'll leave Friday. Like you said, we'd have to get up early, drive 3.5 hours, play all that smash, then drive back, itd be exhausting. This way we split the trips over two days and don't have to wake up early.
btw, if they had B+ I'd be willing to drive, but Barlw and Darkrain aren't incentive enough, haha. Though apparently they might have B-, which is cool.

You needn't worry Rohan. If I am going to ride with you, I will take the bus to campus so that you don't need to drive to Pflugerville to pick me up.

awesome, if you decide on it, just give Clay or me a call and we'll arrange a meeting place, prolly near the Brazos garage since that's where I'll be parked.
Clay, Vincent and I are going to game over video games first after my conference call with work, around 330, but that shouldn't take too long, the earlier we leave the better.

and Clay, tell Josh he'll need to accommodate 2 or 3 people, unless anyone else wants to ride with us, we can fit one more.

Actually, I may be able to arrange housing with someone else to avoid putting too much pressure on your brother.
