I know it's pretty early but I just booked the flight for my next US trip including GP New Jersey and SCG Richmond.
So here the question: Who of you guys is going to the GP?
Do we make some kind of a community meeting?
See you there!
Greetings
I'll be there for GP Jersey. Making the drive down with some buddies from Toronto.
I've bought tickets from Norway to New Jersey, so i should be there as well :). I had to choose between Eternal Weekend and the GP, and while i really wanted to play Vintage; there is only two Legacy GPs a year. If eternal weekend also gave out PT invites, i'd probably go to that. Might go to Eternal Weekend in 2015 though!
@Stoyrm on Twitter, i usually tweet about Legacy and Magic :)
If you can only do one and are powered I don't think there's much debate. You get 2 complete tournies, each giving you a chance. At a GP 2 bad hands or bad matchups and 2 days down the drain, also being in day 2 with no contention of top 8 is miserable and a waste. "Moneying" for like $600 is failure. I can play sanctioned Legacy 2 times a week for the whole fucking year, but big boy sanctioned vintage maybe 3 times a year. Also Philly and the reading market being a hundred yards away beats the hell out of shitbox New Jersey. My suite is already booked for Eternal Weekend.
No. Casting hydras and drafting wind drakes is of zero use to me. Edison is ~1.5-2 hours to Manhattan via train, so that's something but Edison proper is a fucking shitbox.
I'm tentatively planning on GP NJ myself. With SCG being the TO and the very positive success of the GPs they've run, I'm curious to see what they can do with a Legacy GP.
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

Depending on your geographic location, qualifying for the PT through a top GP finish is easier than trying to win a PTQ.
Anyways, if you are looking to have a fun time then go the Eternal Weekend. Chinatown and the Reading Terminal Market are within walking distance from the Pennsylvannia convention center. If you happen to be in the city before or after the tournament, Center City is within walking distance. Additionally, South Street and tourist attractions near Independence Hall are a short subway ride away.
If you want to actually qualify for the Pro Tour with your favorite format and don't mind that the GP is in the middle of nowhere suburbia, then go to GP New Jersey.
I live in NJ so I will be at both GP NJ and Eternal Weekend.
Maybe there is enough of us to play some vintage at the GP in some way.
