3 hr drive, I plan on being there. Hopefully starting work again soon though, who knows how that will interfere.

There is a SCG Open in Dallas the same weekend, otherwise, I would be really tempted to go.

Hmm. Do they commonly schedule GP's on the same weekend? Seems odd.Let alone they picked Mother's Day weekend.

The same weekend as SCGs? Yes, all the time...

.....reading was never my strong suit. I'm thankful the cards have pictures.  Disregard my last question.

I figured you might have missed that little detail, although Opens are basically GPs at this point.

SCG doesn't care when the GPs are if they are not running them. They just run event in a different part of the country to get those players who won't travel to the GP. __________________ My 2008 Nationals MOTL's Pro-Tour Winner 2007-2009 Tower Magic FacebookhilikuS: Also, as much as MAB's list has become the list on the T/A Forum, I do miss Slinga's.

Start a new job April 8th. I'll be 1 week out of training and not sure when I'll know how terrible my schedule is or if I'll have an opportunity to request the time off; I assume I'll be working. I have a strong feeling I'll be missing a local GP where I really like the format. Bad timing I suppose.

Well crap. I really had myself convinced that there was no reason to go, and you go and pull this? Dammit! Guess I'll be there, just won't be playing.  __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please! Report rules violations.

Paying $40 for a playmat, promo and getting my ass kicked isn't exactly a deal I'm interested in. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please! Report rules violations. Remember the Auctions Board!

I just flat-out haven't had fun playing in a while. It's probably just my play group, but I have zero interest in the GP, which is sad, because I've loved the other 2 I've been to. __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me.

If you need a deck I could have one there friday, assuming you don't mind covering shipping (UWR).

I'd have no problems putting a deck together, it's the playskill that is sorely lacking.  __________________ There's no need to fear, UNDERDOG is here!All your Gruul Nodorogs are belong to me. Trade them to me, please! Report rules violations. Remember the Auctions Board!

Aren't the grinders $20 and single elimination? Might as well enter the main event and get all the freebies and get to play more than 1 match.
