MK Meet and Greet Shindig in NoVa

I'm sure there are a few people in NOVA, the question is transportation and how easy it is to get there.

For fighting games in general, a lot of people already go up to Baltimore since that's the home of the larger competitive scene in the area. I know a fair amount of people in NOVA/DC that do not go, but that's largely because Baltimore = pain in the ass and not an option to get to on weekdays and a hassle on the weekends (read, no metro and for most people in DC if there isn't a metro stop it's just not happening). I've got a group I play with in DC and NOVA with, but for a fair amount of them no metro stop = not going to be there.

Heads up all, I will be donating $100 to the pot at SCB! Lets see some real comp!

@digitaldemize - My local friends and I usually get together in either Ashburn, Leesburg or Aldie. Any of these places a possibility for your group? I don't want to have to travel to Baltimore every time I want some competition either, just need to find people willing to meet up around this area. =)

I'll check, the farthest out I know of anybody is Fairfax/Vienna. In general though, most of us meet up downtown or in Arlington after work at at someones house in Arlington or DC on the weekends. Given that a portion of them are confined to metro only, and leesburg is nearly as out there as b-more.

Can you guys do George Mason on the 20th? There are buses that take you from the Vienna stop to the school.

As this is an attempt at getting the scene going - it might be a good idea to set up some kind of group for car-pooling. Where people are, who doesn't have a car, who does and can help driving people. I mean I am only 20 minutes or so away from the Vienna stop, and I would be willing to pick people up there and car-pool out to events im going to outside the metro's reach.

I've got a full car headed to Mason on the 20th, I'm also one of the people supplying a setup which I need to get taken care of as soon as I get there. But I'd be willing to pick up from the Metro stop once I set up shop.

Just to be safe, no one click any links in the post above mine.

As for the meet and greet, I'm definitely down. I remembered that I actually had previously made plans for next weekend, so if it's happening next weekend, I won't be able to go. Plus Summer Jam is next weekend, so a lot of others that could show may opt to go to SJ instead. The weekend after, however, I'm free, so if it happens then or any other time, I'm there!

Yes this is definitely still going down! I talked to a few people (SWBeta included) about it while at SCB yesterday, there definitely seemed to be interest in it. While not set in stone yet Sep 10 is looking to be good on our end. How about you all?

If not the 10th we'll have to move the date into October most likely, which I'd personally like to avoid.

And no worries Lokie, I've got a few friends who are going to be there that are still trying to level up their game, they're no where near tournament ready yet but they're more then willing to throw down and learn.

the 10th would be perfect. I will be out of town labor day weekend, but anytime after that I'd more than likely be down. Unfortunately did not get much face time Nordic, but that Nightwolf was on point!

So currently on the list of we've got: SWBeta, Creepy00, Lokie, FlipinFlava and Jandek? I'm going to see if I can get Eazail to come down from Baltimore as well. It would be cool to also grab Blackula but he's down in SoVa so I'm not gonna hold my breath.

My friends who came with me the tournament should also be their, namely Kaos, Curved and Jacdo plus the people who just came with me to observe. They all play they just weren't confident enough in their skill to be willing to compete.

Waiting on official word from my friend on the 10th, as soon as he gives me the okay I'll update the OP.

Edit: This is mostly meant for casuals, leveling up and generally getting to know everyone. But if enough people show we can definitely scrounge up a tourney out of it, I'll personally sponsor the winnings for the top 3.

I might be willing to go, depends on the time, I'm definitely free after 6pm. I would love to do a Jax mirror fight with you n0rdic ;)

My Jax isn't quite at the level of my Nightwolf yet, but I'd be more then happy to get in some mirrors. :) And it would likely last past 6pm. People would be able to start heading over around noon, we'll chill out by the pool and grub/drink up prior to throwing down.

Ok all, the date is official we shall be doing this on the 10th! I know it conflicts with RRR but past the 10th we would have to wait until lat October or earlier November to do it. I do apologize for that. But anyone who can make it please do. There will be BBQ and drinks by the pool side followed by tons of MK action! We'll even be able to record matches in high def! =)

Yah I remember you! We'll almost certainly still be playing at that time if you'd like to head over late. =)
