This is going to be the make up date for the N.Y.S.E. that had been scheduled for August.

There are a couple of issues with this date:

1.  GP Montreal is the same day and we may lose Nick Coss to that event.

2.  There is an event in Bloomsburg the same day.

The dates for the month of September are generally pretty weak.  The first weekend is the holiday weekend, the second weekend is Blue Bell/Ray's event and the last weekend of the month is the Innistrad pre-release.  I would like to run an event between July and October, so this weekend is it.

Even still, with all those conflicts, there's a lot of interest in Vintage right now and I think we're going to have a kick ass turnout.  

Help prove me right, see some friends and come play Vintage on Long Island on 9/17!

Count me in.  Stoked that there are 3 events in 4 weeks.

I already committed to Shawn Griffiths event before you posted this, however if I can convince Dave and Josh to make it out to this instead I would like to. (Dave is driving, hence why I have to convince him)

If there's anything that I can do to help anybody make it out to the event, let me know.

I want to see Shawn's event succeed as well - if you end up playing Vintage in Bloomsburg that day, in lieu of playing Vintage in New York, it's still a win for the community.

I will not be in attendance as on this day I was meant to be in Canada for the GP.  God graced me with a GP-Trial winning sealed deck that contained 50$+ worth of cards and 5 bombs.

There are literally so many insane tournaments that coincide with the GP it's saddening - vintage for power, legacy for power, highlander...uggg....

Ravager Sam or Savager Sam?

No worries, I'll see you around, I'm sure.  Plus, there will be an October N.Y.S.E. that you can attend...

We're less than two weeks out from this event - who's coming?

[quicksilvervii]

Barring anything outrageous, you'll see me there.

[Prospero]

I hope you're lookig forward to this Saturday as much as I am. We are a little more than four days out from the event. See you all then...

[Prospero]

Additionally, if anyone has an Unlimited Timetwister that they can part with, please PM me or see me at the event.

[Prospero]

Less than a day out...

See you guys tomorrow!

I will be tweeting using the hashtag #nyse17, unless I scrub out and don't give a damn anymore.

And now the wonderful 9th place prize, claimed by Allen Fulmer:



With authentic Dog logo on the back by none other than Brian Paskoff:

I owe Allen a frame for this.  Allen owes his girlfriend an explanation.
