worlds in dc

[blarajan]

I live in Alexandria, VA (about a half hour metro ride's south of the convention center), and I'll definitely be there Saturday.

Anyone planning on going to the concert? There are still plenty of seats for Saturday, and I'm on the fence, but if it means a chance to meet Smogonites, that might be enough of an incentive.

blarajan, where's that goddamn spreadsheet?

I did say maybe. I assumed more responses. I'll just make a list of people going I guess.

 

[Akiratron]

I'm entering the LCQ (expecting a 1st round knockout)
Will check out the finals the day after.

 

[WaterBomb]

People I am most looking forward to meeting:

meanie blarajan
Mekkah
Antar
Vacate
tennisace
Stone_Cold
Pwnemon

People I am most looking forward to seeing again:

MikeDecIsHere
DM (it's been wayyyy too long, bud)

WaterBomb I need to talk to my boss and see if I can get Saturday off from work, but if I am able to, would you be down to go Friday night?

 

[WaterBomb]

They added a second night, as in there will be another night for it other than Friday?

EDIT: Just saw. Well, nice. I couldn't go to it on Friday, so maybe I can on Saturday if I can get people to go.

[blarajan]
