Only a few weeks to go! :D
Any word yet on a host hotel? I've already got my vacation days approved so I can make it to this. Now just need to make the other arrangements.
I love that this is the same week as my birthday! Best birthday EVAR. :D

Hey guys I'm a little new when it comes to magic, but i happen to live right down the street from this event. Last summer a friend of mine gifted me with a decent collection of some cards and from there ive built a extended legal red and white deck, but having never played in a tournament I am a little nervous about if I will be up to par, any advice will be appreciated greatly though...
