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 should be signs

any questions, post, call or email me

thanks

Weak! I thought we're on a mission to knock someone back down to earth. :tongue:

[NathanS2k]

Robert going to pick up everyone in his imaginative car? :laugh:

[toyhammered]

Robert going to pick up everyone in his imaginative car? :laugh:

I wish i knew more people who went to knight-ware :( could attempt to join in this conversation lol

[Krieg]

This Sunday folks

Come and win my staples

[Harduvel]

Will the new rules regarding missed triggers be in effect for this tournament?

[Kevinandhobbes]

@Harduvel yea. If anyone has any questions on the new rules changes you can ask me before/during the tournament. I will be incorporating the new rules into my opening announcement to clear up anything.

[toyhammered]

@kevin: is it ok if we ask you questions on here also?

[Kevinandhobbes]

Sure. It might take me a bit to respond, but feel free.

[toyhammered]

cause i just read up on the trigger update and was a tad confused. From my understanding if you forget to do a trigger that is mean to happen each turn it just goes to bottom of stack?

[Vacrix]

I might go to this. Undecided atm.

[Krieg]

I might go to this. Undecided atm.

Would love to see some SD'ers if you can swing it.
It's been awhile.

[Vacrix]

Yup I'm going to try to get a car pool going tomorrow and mish up.

[toyhammered]

is it just me or is anyone else pretty damn excited about this. Also how many people usually show up for this?

[Krieg]

Also how many people usually show up for this?

Attendance varies.
Lowest we have had for one of these was 32 (october 2011)
Highest was 62 (June 2011)

Average is mid 40's to low 50's

However, for this one, some of our regulars will be out of town so I am really not sure.

[toyhammered]

jeez.... now im a bit worried lol.

[Vacrix]

Looks like I'll be there. Watch out. You lose to me on turn 1. :P

[toyhammered]

holy shit... i just realized you wrote the primer for the SI. That deck looks amazing and I am very very interested to see it in play, but also scared. I hope I can meet you there, that would really be awesome actually.

[Vacrix]

Indeed. See you there. I'll be wearing a dark red jacket and smoking cigarettes.

[toyhammered]

Indeed. See you there. I'll be wearing a dark red jacket and smoking cigarettes.

[Que]

Congrats Vidi, John, Ethan.

and congrats to the rest of the top 8 finishers!

[Antonius]

wha-wha-what?

Brian Phelan came out of the woodwork and won it straight up? Dayyyum. That shit cray.

grats, naturally. Was about to list off names, but I know all of you anyways, so props all around.

[NathanS2k]

I got 9th...... :cry:

[Vacrix]

I really enjoy this metagame and I'll be coming back for the next event for sure. The meta isn't clogged with nubs like it is in SD. :P

[Koby]

I really enjoy this metagame and I'll be coming back for the next event for sure. The meta isn't clogged with nubs like it is in SD. :P

And to think, that was only about half the SoCal people. The other half were battling for Top 8 at SCG Phoenix. :D

[Vacrix]

Yeah the last two times I attended there were at least twice as many people. Awesome metagame. Lands, Aggro Loam, and Goblins were surprisingly absent though.

[LowBeyonder]

I don't know how much Lands you expected anyway. I've put my Loams on the shelf for now and ran actual control, which put up far better results for me (ie, 7th instead of "x-3, drop"). Took a bunch of notes, so I figured I might as well at least write a tournament report (http://www.diepointyhat.com/?p=283).
