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 will be signs

any questions, post, call or email me

thanks

YES YES YES YES

I am here.

[daugarten]

Time to start bumping and prepping for this event. I'll be there as well.

[everythingitouchdies]

I am looking forward to this, as always. I have already threatened to play storm combo, namely No Pants Tendrils as made famous by Jesse Jackson. Or maybe it was Liam Kane. Can't remember.

TNT.

I don't know if I'm going to be playing in this event, I might just do a one man coverage.

[sclabman]

What should I prepare to face? What have the masses been playing?

[Koby]

Last tournament there was an insane amount of SFM decks, fewer Landstill, and about half a dozen Dredge/Affinity players.

Up in the air.

You forget: SFM is Landstill now.

[Koby]

You're mistaken. BUG/Deedstill is not SFM, and not all UWx Landstill run SFM (altho they probably should).

[everythingitouchdies]

There has been a high presence of elves, affinity and dredge amidst the uprising of SFMstill, SFMaggro, BUGstill, BUGcontrol, and the usual merfolk. Combo has been eerily quiet for LA.

I dont really mind so much. I am working on a couple new decks.

Run and hide, it's the boogey man!



Counterbalance went on vacation and all the combo players can't seem to get off the couch...

Touché! The obvious solution to MM is to play a combodeck that doesn't rely on 1cc spells.

Naturally. Like Goblin Charbelcher. Muah Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Ok enough of that.

Time to get off the couch. Combo it shall be.

[Koby]

Anyone have 4 Aluren and 4 Imperial Recruiters that I can borrow?

Counterbalance isn't as big of an issue as Team America and other blue Hymn decks.

Who plays elves other than me?! Haha....

I do on occasion, when I suspect people forget that the deck exists.

Its the only time he consistently does well.
