I can pay for gas, and I can pay to split hotel costs if necessary.

Call Greyhound to see if you can do will-call with your order number or something. It seems like they must have some backup for this situation even if they are a terrible company...

my ride just bailed on me. And I can't seem to find a bus/taxi/shutte/whatever service to transport me from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN to the tournament.

is anyone else passing through or near the area? I'd be more than willing to split money for gas, and would also need to be dropped back off at Purdue after the tournament.

the West Lafayette/Lafayette area is particularly close to Chicago and Champaign in Illinois, and I'm willing to split on gas, so if there's someone coming to Fort Wayne from around that area (or any other area) particularly, please give me a ride!

bump

Still need a ride from Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN to Fort Wayne. will split for gas. please contact me if interested!

Placed 5th in Masters. Gotta say I have extreme mixed emotions. I'm super happy cause this is the best I've ever done and I used a trick room team that's taken a lot of negative criticism. I'm so mad however cause my goal was to win a medal and I fell one short and that was a matter of pairings. Either way I had a blast and I met a lot of awesome people. I'm just gonna be a little pouty on the road trip back :P.

Good stuff. I heard about what happened :( This has not been a good weekend for Smogonites' cars.

theamericandream38 · Nov 14th, 2011, 12:24:44 AM

Thanks everyone! Tittering in anticipation for the Mr. E pictures xD Today was a fun adventure in many ways, though my wallet does not agree. Looking forward to seeing everyone at nats, and I will be at Madison to block for smogonites (beating randoms, scooping to smogonites, SO TELL ME WHO YOU ARE). I also have: one couch available for someone to stay on. (I live 10 minutes walking from the tournament site)

Shiny Regice · Nov 14th, 2011, 7:03:29 AM

^ Go to Madison and help me win 4th or higher xD It was nice to meet you as well TAD, I had no idea what you looked like but always remember you being a threat on PO so it was cool seeing you, although I never got to face you =/.

I might have to take up that couch offer, but I can always swing a hotel if one is nearby the site

Mr.E · Nov 15th, 2011, 1:08:39 AM

also I am annoyed they didn't give me the TCG promo they were handing out in the late rounds

and fucking asshole state highway patrol gave me a speeding ticket on the way home

clocking me at least five MPH over whatever my speedometer said, so fuck that guy

That's what you get for living in Ohio

Mr.E · Nov 15th, 2011, 3:56:06 AM

The worst part is I got off US-30 early because I was bored of it and took 309 home the rest of the way. That'll show me to do that again... and that's not even a fucking highway fuck off highway patrol.

TTS · Nov 15th, 2011, 9:33:18 AM

Hahaha E, I was doing worse than that for most of the way home from VA and had no trouble whatsoever. Then again so was everyone else on I95/495 >_> Sucks to be you. Maybe it's my blue car, they've been shown to be less likely to be pulled over :D

DreamTalon · Nov 15th, 2011, 7:22:46 PM

Nice job American Dream, you used some uncommon pokemon and used them to great effect. Problem was you didn't use a Choice Specs Psyduck.
