[Jostin123]

It's taken a while, but I am finally glad to announce the first Vintage tournament in N.Y,C. for power since Neutral Ground.  I want to thank Alex Schvartzman for putting this event together.  A lot of players have been asking for an event like this, and I really hope you all come out to support this event, one which I hope will be the first of many.

There are many parking garages in the area, but if you grant yourself and extra 15 minutes, you can find street parking in the area

Directions to the store can be found at http://kingsgames.com/directions.php

I hope to see you all there.  I'm taking this day off so even Bloomberg can't keep me from this.  If anyone wants to hitch a ride in, if you can get to Queens, let me know and I'll carpool us in.

Nyse should be there to take it home

Unfortunately, I have other obligations that day that can't be avoided. I would definitely be up for a future one, however.

[Eastman]

Awesome, I'm down. 

[Stormanimagus]

It would take an act of God (oh wait, I'm an atheist OopS!). . . an act of. . . hmmmm. . . ROD BLAGOYAVICH to keep me from coming to this event. I'll be there and winning the whole thing with something janktastic you can be sure. Everyone will be saying "you just beat me with WHAT?"

a tourament for power thats only 10 mins away? Impossible! Seriously though, as a broolynite vintage player this is gonna be great.

[Will]

Will definitely try to make Matt Elias or someone else give me a ride to this if they end up going.  

[Jostin123]

If they need directions, or if they are not too far out, let me know.  I have a car.

[A.-1.]

No guarantees, but at least two of us from Penn State should be able to make this one.

If people are concerned about entering the city and/or driving in the city, consider parking on the outskirts and then utilizing hopstop.com in order to ascertain the optimal subway route.

Jesus, what am I, some sort of Vintage Shuttle Service?

If AU runs their Legacy even at Blue Bell on 11/7, I'm probably going to that as a warm-up for the big one on 11/14, so we'll have to see.

[Jostin123]

There indeed will be a 10 proxy limit enforced at this tournament.  I will amend the original post accordingly.

[Stormanimagus]

Less than a week from this event! I'm not really a pro at dealing out the trash talkage, but I'll feel much more confidant in going there if the Phillies take game 6! Any pwnage y'all are promising?

[Jostin123]

This isn't trash talking so much as a personal statement.  I have something to prove... To my team, to the community, and most importantly to myself.  It's been a while since a top 8, or any tournament for that matter, and I've been dealing with a lot of personal shit, so I'm going to play hard and play angry, and prove that I still got it.

[A.-1.]

Yankees in 6, and I don't like either team.  Cole Hamels gets knocked around. Mariano Rivera shuts it down. World Series #398452 for the Yanks.  It is inevitable.

[A.-1.]

Cole Hamels, Pedro whoever, they're all the same. 

I hope they don't hold the victory parade this Saturday...

[Petro_Nor]

Unfortunatelly I am not been able to attend this, I hae just como last week there I'm still accomodating in the city. I hope that this wouldn't be and exception but an starting point for more tournament so I can attend the next one.
look on it!!

[Stormanimagus]

Cya all tomorrow on the big day! Invite your friends! Let's do this!
