step 1: arrive at chicago, eat at giordanno's.
step 2:Pillage the 2 local casinos at the blackjack tables (I wonder if I'm still blacklisted from grand victoria from back in 2007)
step 3:hang with friends from the midwest for 2 days of magic, then buy them all dinner.


seems good.

Holy shit this is going to kick ass.  Tell you what; if you can win 5 digits at the casinos, I'll give you a 1-round bye.

Holy shit I am stokeder than a motherfucker for this.  I checked out the store and they can handle 155 people there, plus we can rent the place next door and fit another hundred in there.  Should be a kickass time.  I have almost all the power tracked down; I think once the last few pieces come in the mail next week I should be good.

I'm glad I know where my priorities are at. My mom had plans to go visit my grandparents the same weekend but I told her I wasn't going because of this.

seems goo

Just as an FYI, the boats right around the bend in Indiana are FAR better than the ones in Illinois if you're a poker player.  The Horseshoe is sweet (where was that puppy in 2001).  Actually, they're better for any table games since you're a quick hop from downtown/northside hangouts rather than a bajillion miles away in Elgin or Aurora.

If you like pizza and are anywhere near Lincoln Park/Wrigleyville, get pizza from Nancy's (deep dish or this crust, both awesome).

So M10 will be legal July 20th, but the new restrictions will be in effect, so have fun with your 4 Crop Rotation decks.

Also, Soly told me I should make this clear for folks, so I'm putting it up here.  I will be offering cash buybacks on the prizes, so if you want that instead of power, it will be available.  I will also be buying and selling any and all cards, so if you have stuff to get rid of, bring it in, and if you're looking for cards, let me know; I probably have them.

That is wrong.  M10 goes into effect July 11th.

The B&R list goes into effect July 1st.

Looks like M10 is legal July 17th.

So I guess it will be allowed then.  Sorry for the confusion.

I found out today that my boss is cutting my hours to 1 to 2 days a week. I don't think with that huge pay cut I will be able to attend this event. I wish I could but with the lack of money and no telling if my hours will get stable again or just keep it as they are I shouldn't take any chances

So this shit is only a couple of weeks away.  Whos going to contribute to the ICBM prize fund?  If you can't make the trip you can mail your $30 to the ICBM global headquarters.

Can boxing be a side event.  It might be good for some side bets.

I'm sure you are a nice guy and good player, but the big boys are about to enter town.
