Cool -- looking forward to seeing everybody there! :D

Plan on making it to the standard portion now to convince my friends to stay over one more day.

I loved the philly 5k last year even though I scrubbed out but whatever there was a cheer leading contest in another hall.

As a reminder, please make sure to get good directions to the venue. Personally, I recommend Google Maps

Who else plans on coming to this?

It might be possible for the montreal's crew to come, but it's really not guaranteed, as it's even 2 hours farther than Boston. :wink:

Considering how well the Montreal Crew did in Boston, I can't imagine Philadelphia would be unappealing. ;)

Such is the randomness that comes along with running events at large convention centers. I've seen more cheerleading/volleyball/glamour contests than you would believe. Weirdest, hands-down, was the Mary-Kay convention I saw once when running an event in Louisville, KY.

Looking forward to seeing everybody there! :D

i plan on being there and bringing 2 of my friends

most likely will be there with 1 or 2 others

About a month away, now -- who else is coming to this?

Looking forward to seeing everybody in a few weeks! :)

I'm gonna be in Pittsburg for work the weekend of the tournament, is there a better way than a car to get there?

It's a five hour drive down 76, really not bad. You might be able to catch a ride with people from Pitts. It's like $120 to fly or $85 for a train.

But aren't you working?

Actually I work Thursday Friday and then not until Tuesday, so I'm in Pittsburg for work, but not working over the weekend.

Keep in mind that parking downtown can be pretty pricy: you're looking at $10-15/day in any of the lots near the convention center. Carpooling might be the best way to go, here. :D

I'm definitely coming and bringing 2 people with me. Just so I'm sure, SCG will have a booth with decent stock there, yes? Somehow this tourney caught me unprepared (even though its been on my calendar for over a month) and I'm not looking forward to paying overnight shipping for the 2 cards I'm missing (plateaus) and my team doesn't have dupes of :(

SCG has a very well stocked case. Sometimes they even let you order from the site and pick up at the event.

They buy all weekend too, if you want to pay for your Plateaus with cards.

Due to the high demand for Zendikar, side event formats and drafts have been updated and modified.

Awesome Rick! I have my bet that you'll make top 16 at least. Hopefully cdr will cover some of your matches as well since I would be delighted to watch you play.

Two of my friends asked me If I wanted to go to this last night, so it looks like I'll likely be there! Can't wait to meet some of you guys.

I'm afraid not; I'd advise you to try Priceline, though. I was able to get a very good deal on the hotel we're using for staff.

At the moment, I'd be driving by myself. Any Syracuse or Binghamton people have extra space in their car or need a ride?

What day are you going down?

Is anyone going down Friday night for the Standard event on Saturday?

Just SSG

PMed.


Now, who's got a hotel I can get in on?

Looks like I won't be able to make it. Apoligies to anyone who was going to borrow a deck.
