It doesn't look like it. I don't see any posts about that on the original SRK thread.

 

[Euphoric]

What time is this tournament supposed to end? And is anyone doing anything afterwards?

 

[GGA HAN]

Last time as a group I think we all went to Lou Manati's down the street. Or was that ufgt?

Think that was UFGT, I believe Frosty was the 8 hour drive to Pizza Hut that ended in an empty parking lot.

FOREVER KING m2dave FrothyOmen, if we arranged some sort of group travel would you be up for it? If not it looks like bus tix are around 58 bucks round trip with coupon code esaver (greyhound). In a perfect world I would like to come up there to attend a GGA session if it could possibly be moved closer to the event.

I am down

 

[Gruntypants]

I'd like to come but I might be going to see Zeds Dead on the 29th and it's on PS3 so I would have to buy a ps2 pad and a converter which would be no bueno. Fucking xbox man..

 

[Glass Sword]

I want to go to this I got to go to as many tournaments as possible to make up for school getting in the way at NEC. I would need a room does anybody want to room with me or have me. I pay in cash and my fair share btw also I will not room with more than 3 other people.

 

[PPJ]

lou malnati's sounds so good right now, if everyone decides to eat there after the tourney, i'm definitely down

 

[Espio]

If I can work something out and get someone to come with me, I might try to make this .

I'm going to be out of town a little bit before the 29th, so who knows lol.

I always have my converters with me, Grunypants. They aren't that expensive either, like 20.00 on etokki.com - just buy a ps2 pad locally at a gamestop or something and get a ps2-to-ps3 converter and a ps2-to-x360 conveter and you're all set for any system. All EVO events and MLG events have been run on ps3, gotta make the adjustment soon man!

 

[GGA HAN]

Damn. He called me both hefty and trash in 20 words or less. Your body is not ready for the new and improved alpha smoke.

Real talk, I wonder if Carl will come to this. We can totally pick him up on the way, should he choose to go.

He came (and won) last year, it would be cool to have him back.

Also: if anyone is planning on bringing a setup, let ElvenShadow know in the main SRK thread (link is posted in the original post) as he is trying to take inventory of setups (plus a checklist of who doesn't have to pay the venue fee).

Looks like you are going to be staying up all night saturday and sleeping on the bus ride home sunday.

I am not confirmed yet since it is the weekend before New Years, after all. Doing what I can.

I'd say that i'm 90% going to the tournament now because I'm going to go see Excision on the 26th with my friends instead. I'm going to buy an etokki ps2>360 converter and a ps2 pad so I can actually be prepared to play on a playstation pad at a tournament for the first time. Hopefully someone at the venue will be able to lend me a converter or a ps3 pad.

Ya, the other options for departure are NOT good. 10 hours of pain and late arrivals.

i am picking up ribbz at the station, and any1 else traveling w/ him!

 

[GGA soonk]

Ok, for all of you guys planning on showing up, I have secured the GGA party rooms for Friday, December 28th. We will have setups, a stream going, we can order some food, maybe a mini-tournament, whatever. This will be our best chance to get casuals in before the tournament, so plan on making it out.

Hopefully you have room for all the top models I normally travel with

 

[Glass Sword]

What hotel is it at soonk I will get a room at the same hotel. I am assuming it is the same one the venue is at but better safe than not.
