Why yes we are, with a carload or so

Yup tomorrow! And as long as you don't plan on driving on the sidewalks your good

update !!!

We will be giving away a From the Vault: Relics at random during the tournament! Come on down for an awesome tournament and a chance to walk away with a sweet prize. See everyone next Saturday.

The event is almost here, anyone have any idea about what kind if cupcakes I should make?

Me <3


I'm am oh so aware of the silly "myspace" angle but when your only camera is your webcam you make do.

They played day two in a match, sorry for not clarifying, I should have left out the top 8 part will edit my post. Anywho he had no complaints while they played.

***changed to take out irrelevant part of post
While I was watching my boyfriends match against saito I noticed no stalling, when I mentioned this to him he seemed surprised and said he had no problems in his match.

I know I just posted but to address the topics question I believe that  November is an awkward month for tournamments. I got back into vintage with the unrestrictions and was saddened to see no tournaments less then 6 hours away fom me. I know Kentucky is a tad far from where most tournaments are held but still, usually I could convince my crew to drive 4 hours away. To sum up my answer don't jump to th worst conclusion, a slow month=less posts.

Regarding the error message if you look at th URL it gives it will randomly be have exta junk on it, just delete everything until you just get www.themanadrain.com. I'm not sure but I think it mostly happens when you hit down on your history instead of typing the URL out.



*also sorry on itouch can't quote

I've been told by the store manager that should tournament attendance exceed his expectations then prices will be increased!!!

Thanks to everyone that came to the event, I will have the results up as soon as I can get the decklists from the store. 

Tournament tomorrow!!! There better be a lot of people here to eat all of these cupcakes I made...because there is like 90 of them XD.

Yes and very neat. Saturday is so close, going to test today because I still havent picked a deck XD.

Event is super close now, also as a bonus I will be making cupcakes and the store will be offering some other sort of food. Can't wait to see everyone at the tournament!


EDIT: The winner will get their own container of cupcakes and pizza is guaranteed. Anyone who plays Bobby Graves three time S2d Vintage champ and beats him will win a prize.

We welcome any people that come, we are trying to get some pizza or something for our tournament/christmas party. ^-^

I know in KY inkwell is almost always the target, he may win one turn slower but shroud is SOOO worth it. 

Next vintage tournament is Dec 19th, come out and try and beat three time S2d Champ Bobby graves!!!http://www.themanadrain.com/index.php?topic=39349.msg546321#new

Again thanks to everyone for coming, sorry I couldn't type more it was hard enough to find time to type up the decklists. If there are any mistakes let me know and I will correct them as soon as possible.

Oh a few helpful hints for finding your way in the mall, if you go through the main entrance (the one with Von Maur to the right) you will walk into the mall and go left, walk past the starbucks and you will see stairs to your right s2d is visible from there)

s2d's event plus this equals a magic filled weekend of awesome, got the tags renewed on our car just to go to this.

Event tomorrow! About to head to something 2 do to make sure everything is ready see everyone tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Also to answer the question about the food we always go out to eat after vintage (its like a tradition) We like to go to O'charlies or Old Chicago most of the time but that is usually just cause of time. (Normal vintage is much later in the afternoon).

I'm sorry I'll make sure to do so next time. If you are looking for another event I believe we will be having a Time Walk/Time Vault event in December. I will post it when I know all the details.
