Just to clarify further:
I'm assuming that when you say "There will be a minimal charge for snacks" you don't mean $X gets you all day soda/chips/whatever, but that various food/drinks will be available for purchase, at a minimal charge EACH.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I sent an e-mail to Ineffible and pre-paid my entry fee for the tournament.  Everything looks good.  I have my receipt and submitted my five proxies to pick up at the door.

To anyone who is going, I'd recommend paying by Paypal now and getting in at the $15 fee.

It's great to see a big T1 tournament coming together locally.

Top 3 prizes (Mox, Forcefield, Abyss) are all super, and the 4th and 5th are more than worth the price of admission.  While this may not be a Lotus tournament, as someone mentioned, the entry fee is only $15, and a good opportunity for those of us still trying to complete our Power 9 (even if it winds up being one I have, it's a Mox... sell it and get what I need).  Regarding the mentioned prizes, I've played at Greg's, so I too can vouch for him.

Count me in, and I hope to see lots of other people there.  Seems like they are trying to get a solid turnout to make this a regular event.  Perth Amboy is a pretty straight shot via Turnpike/Parkway in NJ, and also easy for Staten Island.

Ineffible, please post more details as you get them.  Also, regarding proxies, what is considered acceptable and do we have to bring our own or will they be available on site?

Cheers
