Too bad it's in North Carolina. I'm definitely not driving all the way down there just for a Pokemon tournament. Maybe there will be a Regional Championship in Maryland so I won't have to drive more than an hour to get there.

Ah well. Have fun without me.
 
Alright Jeff and Sensei!! Sounds like a great time. Now I have to go check tomorrow what my work schedule is like for that week. Hope to see you then.

D00d, I will SO be there. If there is ever a time for me to win a tournament, this will be it.

wooper- the other regionals is in PA

Ehh, no Regionals for me, then. It's not worth it for me to drive all the way to Pennsylvania or North Carolina just to play a TCG, unless my trip was paid for. =/
 
Well, anyways, AWESOME, now i have to play one of my Winning decks from the past 2 big events, CC's and SC's. Wonder which one i will play. Any who, this is going to be awesome, i can't wait =D
 
OMG.....this was like the BIGGEST surprise I ever saw when I was looking at my email and I saw this one and I go to it and I read and I see where it is......my jaw dropped within a second..........I was like 0_0 omg the Eastern Regional is in MY backyard. So of course I WILL be there as I could not miss something this huge when it's in my area. This has made my day as I am extremly overjoyed about seeing this. Wow, still can't get over the shock. I need to go lie down.
