Parking
Parking is the main reason most of our larger events are on Sundays•Behind the store there are numbered spaces.
Knight Ware has spaces 9, 10, and 11
but
on Sundays, 2 of our 3 neighbors are usually closed
Sun Cafe (spaces 7 and 8 - the ones on either side of the telephone pole)
is now open on Sunday, please don’t park there

The streets are metered but not checked on sundays
The first street to the west of us is Lankersheim Blvd..
On Lankersheim to the south there is unregulated street parking
Just west of Lankersheim (north side of the street) is an open lot that says
additional MTA parking. It does not get used much on the weekends
unless the hollywood bowl is running something and then there will be signs

any questions, post, call or email me

thanks

This is going to be my come back.

[everythingitouchdies]

This is going to be my come back.

We will storm in like reanimated cowboys eager to start the apocalypse.

[Koby]

Count me in!

[luckme10]

You wrote on all those cards?! Oh the horror!

[Antonius]

You wrote on all those cards?! Oh the horror!

They're still sleeve playable, bro.

[2Rach]

Looked at thread, then pic, thought this was this weekend. Looked at title again. Nope, OCTOBER ****ING NINE!

[Krieg]

Just under 3 weeks to go

[everythingitouchdies]

I am going to tear this up.

[Goin Aggro]

I'm excited. (Also, anyone coming from the downtown/coliseum area? I could use a ride and would be happy to chip in for gas)

[Antonius]

anyone near pomona or any of the peeps passing through from orange county that can hook up a ride ?

[soltakar]

I think I can make this, if so I can give you a ride again. I'll let you know later this week for sure.

[Jacob]

Lori, are you going to be splitting the randoms into smaller chunks?

[Krieg]

Lori, are you going to be splitting the randoms into smaller chunks?

Currently the 2 randoms are set at one dual each.
If we get a really huge turnout, I may add another random (dual) to the prize pool

[Antonius]

I think I can make this, if so I can give you a ride again. I'll let you know later this week for sure.

Don't think i'll be needing a ride anymore, man. Got it figured out. Thanks, though.

[everythingitouchdies]

One pm seems so early. I will be there though, and even earlier than that. If anyone who has not already contacted me needs cards let me know.

[Koby]

Harduvel and I split in the finals. He with Reanimator, and I with anti-Reanimator. Rest of Top8 was:

1/2. Reanimator
1/2. Maverick
3. Hive Mind
4. Reanimator
5-8. Reanimator
5-8. Reanimator
5-8. TNT
5-8. BUG-caster

:)

[Jakgotbak]

Thanks for a great event, Lori. And thanks, Kevin, for judging, shipping me a list, and lending me cards.

And Koby, thanks for not rubbing it in too hard when you crushed me in the quarterfinals.

This format has devolved into Reanimator and Anti-Reanimator. Clearly, they need to ban Swords to Plowshares to balance the format (into the sweet sweet dream of all-Reanimator, all the time).

[The Last Emperor]

Man, sorry I missed this one, it sounded awesome. Note to self though, test the Reanimator matchup heavily with Eureka!

[Que]

Are decklists for top 8 available?

Also I didn't get to see the standings past top 10, but it seems that only 2 of the top10 were not combo. 0_0

[COBBLER]

Combo Is were its at.

[neji21]

How many players?

[Que]

32 I believe.

I was actually expecting a bigger turnout, but I think with the sealed event going on the same week, it might have hindered appearances. Thats my guess anyway.

[Koby]

I believe there was a GPT on Sunday too, out in Riverside.

[soltakar]

Sucks that I had to miss this.

Everyone playing reanimator is exactly what I was expecting.

[Krieg]

Hi All,

Sorry about the delay in the decklists, had to do some other stuff on my one day off a week

Here is the who got what post with decklists at the end.

Next up is Store Credit event on 10/30/11 (I have some tasties set aside to use your credit on - )

[everythingitouchdies]

The storm deck was so good. It mostly only lost games when I messed up, and sometimes it still won those games too. I will have a report up this week, including an interesting take on the half hour session of five extra turns in the last round of swiss.
