I -may- go depending on my work schedule. I dont wanna take a day off. Work/Money > poorly ran MK tourney. Trust me when I say AWA runs silly tourneys but that isnt what their main thing is, anyways.

I think its cool when MK people I know turn out to like comics. Thats awesome. Anyway, I will try to make it to this tournament, sounds fun. Oh, and the signature looks bad ass on the grey background, glad you like it.

I knoowww.

Damn it will be cool to see Pig Of The Hut, Joker8417, and TylerLantern again. STB Sgt Reed and Vip3r : You both should definitely go!

Even after the tournament, it'd be nice to get tons of casuals in.

This is totally on the same day as a Bermuda concert Guess I'm going to have to wait a little longer to see them, because this just sounds way better haha.

My problem with going is the fact that I have to lead the Stage crew at my church, as they are holding a Christian Rock Music Concert. Since I am lead of this group, its hard for me to take time off on such short notice.

So I was looking at their site and it doesn't say... Do u we need to buy badges or register to get in to the tournament section? Or do they have their own sign up and registration?

Need more info.

The way these types of conventions typically work, is you need to purchase a badge to even get access to the gaming room/area. Single day admission is $30 per the convention's website-
http://www.awa-con.com/index.php?page=membership

Tournament registration is available 7 am to 9 am, Friday and Saturday. I'll be registering for the tournament Saturday morning. As far as any additional registration fees are concerned... I'm unsure. Some conventions I have been to claim the costs are included with the badge purchase, whereas others have tacked on an additional cost. *Typically $7-15 bucks.

Pig Of The Hut may be able to shed more light on that particular aspect, having been to last year's AWA-Con tournament.

Hey man, when are you going to be in Atlanta, maybe we can get some casuals in before the tourny on Friday or something.

My flight for ATL leaves around 7:05 pm CENTRAL time, and should arrive around 10/11pm your time. I probably won't be able to get casuals in till after the tourney though. =/ I've got preparations to make for the convention itself. We'll play for sure though, need to fight your new main. If the game room is open all night though, I may just stay up and take a short nap lol who knows.
