I'm just putting this up for those of you who are interested. I will try my hardest to update it.
I am heading out now to see my lady for an hour, and then I'm heading to Jamison Bryants house, and then we're picking up Jimmy McCarthy and heading out. Sounds like we're meeting up with the Trogvan (Mark Trogdan, Twaun, Jerry Yang, Menenenenenenendian, and others), and then we're picking up Nat Moes from Midway Airport. I'm excited as I haven't met Nat personally, yet. I guess we might also be meeting up with Pierce from TMD, as well as DeMars, CJ and maybe even one Patrick Chapin. I'm quite excited. Oh, and we're meeting up with VorpalBunnyDuby and James King, as well.
Giordano's; Table for 17, please!

This sounds like it is going to be an awesome time and I regret that I won't be able to make it. I'll be keeping tabs on what happens and appreciate the updates. Good luck to everyone.

I'm sitting in a room with CJ, Jimmy McCarthy, Pierce, and we're watching Steven Q. Menenennenenendian and Brian DeMars play their two decks. In the next room, we have Mark Trogdan, Nam Q. Tran, Jerry Yang, and Nat Moes. Down the hall is Jamison and James King with two others. We also have Hazmat, Jaco, Brian Fisher, and Twaun floating around chicago. Overall, it will be a grand time.

Incredibly diverse metagame so far. Lots of:
Belcher
Oath
Stax
Tez obv
Fish
misc aggro
some Ichorid
I think 10 proxies is the correct number--at least 75% of folks had 10 or less, with only a dozen or so running over, the highest proxy count being 15 I think.
ICBM records thus far:
Owen 1-1
I@n 2-0
James King 1-1
Tommy 2-0
Dan 1-1
Jamison 0-2
Danny Friedman 1-1
Spooky 1-1
And a few others:
Menendian 2-0
Demars 1-1
Bryan Fisher 2-0
Vroman 0-2
Twaun 2-0
Trogdon 0-2
Jerry Yang 1-1
Mastriano 1-1
Soly 2-0

I just lost to shops. Turn 1 trinisphere. I won't rant about how awful he was, but lets just say in game 2, he didn't play anything but a mountain on his turn 1.
I'm 2-1
Smememememen is 3-0
McCarthy is 3-0

Somebody tell Chapin how counterbalance works?

Sphinx is pretty ridic, except for when your stax opponent rips maindeck duplicant. Soly convinced me to switch at the last minute.
So much stax and fish today. Played Ubr Tezz with remora, night's whisper, 2 mox monkey and 2 goblin welders.
Went 2-3 drop...losing to stax, winning against stax, winning against stax, losing to oath, losing to aggro shop. Fun. Times.
Sweet event though! Wish I could've stayed for day 2.
