Running GAGG for the illiterate

[cdr]

At Running GAGG, I tried my new phone camera out for the second time ever. It turns out it doesn't like bright light, so some of them look like fail. Ah well.

The pictures are also on Flickr (http://flickr.com/photos/23218568@N05/sets/72157603810460341/detail/). Click on the "All Sizes" button to see full size.

I also tried video (http://www.youtube.com/v/4aW8yjW-nOY) for the first time ever.

The top 8 begins. Ob Freely leaned back as the picture was taken, so he doesn't get to be in it.

Anwar you need a haircut.

Alix's Hat >>>>> Bryant's Hat

[Machinus]

Trail mix for the freaking win.

Nice job guys.

[Bryant Cook]

Anwar you need a haircut.

Alix's Hat >>>>> Bryant's Hat

No Jander would agree with me here. Our hat is kickass. No one got the shot of me flexing after my top8 victory!

[Whit3 Ghost]

Very cool.

More tournaments need pictures with the reports.

[zulander]

Anwar you need a haircut.

You lie. Let his hair flow freeeely. I wish my hair was sexy like his.

Look at that dynamic duo feature match. Hooded gangstas 4L. Too bad you can't see my face though.

[Nightmare]

Hey look, it's a picture of Colin knocking me out of the tournament!

[Afro]

These pictures make me miss 'cuse tournaments. What has it been...2 years?!?!

[TeenieBopper]

So grow a set and come to one. I know you've been playing in the Hadley tournaments, so I know you've got access to cards. And you and I both know full well that it's well worth the two hour drive.

[Di]

If not for the tournament, then at least the post-tournament festivities. Everyone knows that's more important and fun that the tournament itself.

[TeenieBopper]

Truth. You get to spend two hours giving me shit face to face instead of over teh intarwebz.

Indeed it is. Too bad P_R gets a twist in his panties as soon as you mention 'cuse because of the long drive. I have the cards again and now have a new car so perhaps me and Norm can make a showing at an upcoming tournament. I just fucking hate paying a $25 entry fee for a tournament if it isn't for power but fuck it I suppose.

[Nightmare]

You pay $25 bucks to hang out with awesome people all day. That's a sound investment, in my eyes.

One of these weekends, we need to just skip the tournament and have like a BBQ in someone's back yard or something.

[quicksilver]

Or we could go camping, fun times.

[Nightmare]

I'm fine with hanging out with you guys. Sharing a tent is a whole other matter.

[quicksilver]

You have not lived until you have shared a tent with unicorns.

OMG pokemon cards for etw tokens i gotta go get me some =)

Oh is that what that was? I thought they were actually trying to play magic vs pokemon. I have played magic vs raw deal, I think raw deal ended up decking me in the first turn or two or something.
