Fultondale, AL
Erik, I got my days off so I'm coming for sure!
I've got the July 1st 10AM marked on my calendar.
Is it safe to assume the tutorials you've posted in the last few days are likely to be in the tourney?
So looking forward to this!

Just had a great time playing in the two tournaments at Music City Multi Con. I'm even more pumped now for Pincinnati!

Locks hard
Outlane posts removed
Tilt debounce 750
Lannister limited to 4 buttons
Only two dire wolves
All MB ball saves are between 8-10 seconds
Will the regular ball save be on?
Looks like there's a Skyline close by and a White Castle near that. Never had either. Here we have Krystal's which I've heard is a lot like White Castle. But hell, the Beastie Boys never talked about Krystal's in any of their songs.... 
I'm also gonna clear your stores out of all Grippo products! Can't get em here....
What an amazing weekend! Congrats to Erik and everyone else involved. This is as good as it gets!
The tournament area being in the lobby amongst the fountains and waterfall was really special.
The freeplay area was amazing. I had limited time in there since I'm a tournament guy, but some standouts for me:
That Taxi was the best I've ever played. New PF and everything just worked perfectly. Same goes for the Firepower.
The Time Fantasy with overhead UV light was awesome.
Celts was WAY better than Valhalla. Almost no comparison. Those outlanes on Celts just need to be opened up.
There were two DE TMNT there and the one next to Taxi was by far the nicest one I've ever played.
Also two Aliens there but I didn't find time to play.
The Banzai Run played fantastic.
CCR was a pretty big improvement on the original. Just a touch too easy IMHO.
Great assortment of EM's and early SS on hand.
Finishing 2nd Friday and 1st on Saturday was just icing on the cake!
I hope to make it to Pincinnati again next year!
Side note: I tried the Skyline 3-way. Sorry, not a fan. The chili was almost black and had a weird flavor that I can't really describe.
I did see White Castle but didn't have time to try.
Sadly, I didn't stop to get Grippos. By the time I was knocked out of the Gauntlet on Sunday I just wanted to hit the road. Seven hours is a long drive, especially after dark. I made it home around 9:30 central time, tired but very happy!

Just outside the top 100. Now go to D82 in April and you’ll clean up!!
I might do that. But I have another master plan... INDISC in February. 
Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:You killed it last weekend. Was nice playing with you. My 5th place on Friday was a nice chunk of points, too.
Robert, great playing and it was nice to meet you! 
Quoted from chuckwurt:Yeah there’s definitely a ceiling to your rank if you’re not willing to travel to big events or do not have a large event in your area. So there will always be people that are much better than their rank, and also people that live near a WPPR farm that are a lot worse than their rank.
So true! When I look at a players rank, I also look at their rating. You'll have a player that is ranked 345, but rated 2,749. That's a WPPR farm area player.
Then you have the opposite. To use Stephen Prusa as an example. Ranking is 63rd but his rating is 6th. That tells me he's probably even better than his ranking indicates.
However, there's a big BUT to this. Rating is more recent based, meaning what you've done lately can greatly affect your rating. Have one bad tournament where a bunch of players finish in front of you who are ranked lower than you and your rating will plummet.

Since 7/1 is a Friday, I hope these go on sale in the evening so the 8-5 crowd gets a chance to buy. If not, I guess I could try it on my phone as long as I can break away from work for a little while.

chuckwurt Is Justin still planning to do the video clips of players? I completely forgot about that.
Side note: I'm starting a new job and I will be losing my current cell phone. I'll get with you when I get a new one.
