Good luck getting here!

It is a different venue in a different city from last year. This time there is a free shuttle to and from the airport.

Well it's my first time going since I'm all the way over here in Scotland so it being in Memphis isn't too much of a worry. Good to hear there's an easy option for travel to/from the airport! Is that something you've set up for KIT or does it just happen to be there?

The hotel has a free shuttle all the time. It was a big draw in our venue selection process.

You will serve me in The Netherrealm
Myself and three of my teammates are arriving sometime for Friday, probably around noon or so.

We're only playing MKX, so missing Inj isn't so bad.

If you can 100% confirm and not bail, we can maybe work something out. I would need to clear it with the team.

Hmm, my flight gets in on the Thursday night though so I'd need somewhere to stay then too. If noone can get me on the thursday I'll maybe just get a room for myself that night and Friday onwards would be great. I'll keep you in mind though so cheers :)

Just as the title says I'm thinking about going to KIT this year because the idea of being a part of one of Injustice's last tournaments and getting the chance to meet and play a bunch of you guys is too damn exciting, but having never been to America for anything other than a family trip to Disneyland I just want to make sure I'm planning things right. I know it's pretty late but I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

As for accommodation, where would be best? Or does anyone have a room they'd be willing to let me share with them? If not then I'll try and get my own room but I'd be super grateful if anyone else had room for me. I'll even pay some towards it if need be!
Will I need a visa or anything like that? I know @A F0xy Grampa is attending so hopefully he can help me out with that.
Technology-wise I'll be bringing my Xbox 360 controller, XB1 controller and my converter. Reckon I'll need anything else? Will those things be alright with security too? Not sure how strict they are there.
Would anyone be able to get me at the airport or would I be ok walking? I would be coming in on the night of the 14th most likely. Edit: 14th, not 13th. Thought Injustice was on the 14th lol.
Is there anything I'm forgetting/missing that I should look into?

Not sure who to tag right now other than @Vandy lol. Any help would be appreciated, feel free to tag anyone that might be able to help! Thanks in advance :)

So what's your likelihood of going?

Here is something I don't know if you have thought of, but maybe depending on how much you get around so sorry if you already know. Since you live in the UK and may be going to the US. Check your electronics like your phone, tablet, computer, whatever you use. A lot of them run off of 115 vac or 220. The US runs on 115 and the sockets are different. If your devices run on both which they often do and say on the charger or you can look at your model on-line, you just need to buy an adaptor for the plug and can use it as normal. Otherwise it will do you almost no good and you do not want to pay for nor lug around a converter. This is common practice for me to carry adaptors since I live in EU now but most of my old shit is from the US and now I have shit from both places. Good luck on finding a place to stay and rides etc.

Well I have the money and I have the time, the only things I have left to work out are accommodation, booking a flight (which I can do any time and will do as soon as I know what I'm doing accommodation-wise), applying for ESTA (which I'm going to do once I get home) and registering for KIT (which I might also do tonight). Pretty much guaranteed as long as I have somewhere to stay when I get there.

Good thinking! I'll probably be bringing my phone charger so I'll look into getting an adapter. Thanks!

@A F0xy Grampa are you getting in on the Thursday night by any chance?

Not sure yet, we're waiting on the ESL flight details cause theyre gonna bring us in early, this is why its a bit of a difficult situation for me to totally confirm anything to you at the minute, also waiting on @Undeadjim to confirm if he's coming or not, cause in terms of accomodation I think it was myself, @Madzin and Undeadjim, with the possibility of PL, but then again I'm not 100% atm, I think we're gonna try book a hotel room tonight.

Right ok, well if you're going to be there on the Thursday night and don't mind me squeezing in a room with you guys (even if I'm on the floor or something) let me know.

Are there multiple shuttles from the airport that I could get mixed up between? How will I know which one is the right one?

It will say Crowne Plaza Memphis East on it. You can also call the hotel and let them know you are there.

If you do make it, look for the bearded guy with the shinnok's amulet tattoo on his right hand and bunny ears, and I'll buy you a drink.

Welcome to America! (Hopefully)

Haha sure, I'll come say hi! The legal age for drinking is 21 in America though right? In that case I can't get a drink :(

Bring your system so you can practice up at the motel.

Other than that, save up some money. Having more money just opens up options to have more fun.
