That's pretty sweet. Be sure to convince Bonde and Enevoldsen as well (I've tried but they won't budge) xD! Moar scandinavians!

Hey, New York guys, I have a question. The weekend after the GP is my birthday, so I was giving thought to just kinda taking the week off and living it up. I've looked at enough maps and Googled around enough to know that I can get from the venue to the city (or vice versa), but I'm wondering how much of a pain in the ass it is. Whether it's easier on paper and whether I should book another night to depart Monday morning and whether this that or the other thing.

tldr: How to venue->NYC for dummies.

I am wondering the same thing. If I don't make Day 2 (likely, considering I don't play that much Legacy as of late), so I would love to visit NYC for a day if possible.

The NJ Transit station in Edison goes straight into Penn Station in the city. Looking on the map, there is the station in Metuchen that's technically a closer drive from the convention center. Trains run pretty late too so you can make the most of your time. No easier way beyond having someone just drive you into the city. PM me for contact info if people are looking for rides to the trains station as I live right there.

SCG expects 6-6.5k people for GP Brainstorm

[oarsman]

Cedric Phillips had a post saying they were prepared for 6000.
That is WAY different than saying they expect 6000.

[nodahero]

I will be there judging!! I am under the impression the 6k is a preety firm guess as wea re staffed for the event like crazy.

But you don't prepare for six thousand unless you expect the possibility.

[Mr Miagi]

what about sidevents?

[Phelix]

what about sidevents?

Yes.

[Mr Miagi]

Yes.

as in: they have to make room and seats for these as well

Welp, got my tickets booked yesterday. See all you sourcers there!

All that story says is that they have enough judges to support 6000 players at the typical judge-player ratio.

Is it true there are going to be sanctioned vintage side events? I over heard this at an event recently.

[Megadeus]

For what it's worth, we do plan on having sanctioned Vintage events at GP: New Jersey! (Can't give out any more details than that at this time, but wanted to float that out there :)

[coraz86]

Got the time off, pricing plane tix, will be there.

Also, if anyone local-ish can recommend a sports bar, my boys and I will probably want to watch the Velasquez/Werdum UFC fight.

Vacations booked, booking the hotel today.
Looking forward to that GP!

[Tormod]

Picked up a couple byes at small GPT this weekend

[nodahero]

Congrats on the Byes!!

I think we should have a Sourcer meet up.

I just got my tickets booked for the flight out there. Now to figure out the hotel thing... Do I book last moment with my slacker judge buddies or do I book earlier and not stress but risk a bad roomate(s)... That is the question.
