[Poll] Next Cary, NC Tourney?

[RaleighNCTourneys]

I'm starting to think ahead to the next Cary, NC tourney. I need feedback from anyone interested in attending so I can make this one a success like so many we've had in the past. I have to go back and count one day, but I think I've done at least 10 of these.

The next few tourneys are going to be the best ones I've done so far in terms of prizes, and hopefully as far as attendance as well. All of the money (and then some) will go to prizes minus the $40 given to the store for letting us be there all day.

The plan is to use all of the cards in my name as prizes for the next few tourneys until I don't have anything left. I'll have a list of everything available pretty soon. I'm starting graduate school in Fall 2007, so there is a good chance I will not be in NC about 9 months. And if I don't stay in NC, there is no chance I will be anywhere nearby (I'll either be in NC, PA, OH or NY).

There will be no more unlimited proxy events. However, all of the remaining events will be 20 proxy. I also ask that you forgive me if I am a little bit over the proxy limit for the last tourney or two. I will try to get the real cards from teammates, but my cards will be used as prizes, and I'd like to play in all of the events. 

So, my question is... when would be good for people? Keep in mind there is an event being planned in SC for December 15th. January 5th just isn't going to work.

The choices are:

January 12th (NC State / UNC game/away)
January 19th (NC State/Miami/home) *EDIT: PRERELEASE
January 26th (NC State/Fl State/away)
February 2nd
February 9th (NC State/Maryland)

That pretty much eliminates January 12th. My vote is for the 26th.

Please let me know when is good for people by replying or by PM.

Thanks.

Morningtide PR is the 19th.  I vote against that.

I nominate January 26, although I could probably tolerate any of those days.

Edit: my understanding is that basic users are now allowed to reply (but not start new threads) in this forum, so you can probably post here now if you're one of those people.

26th is fine with me. I'll maybe need a place to sleep at.

At this time any of those dates work for me.

So you're holding tournaments for the rest of your collection then moving.

Interesting.

Sounds familiar.

Any word on this event?

[RaleighNCTourneys]

It's looking like Jan. 26th. I'll hammer everything out after my last final exam on Dec. 10th.
