We'll be there.

Nothing more to say. Just... I'm second.
 
Third!

Anyway, depending on if my League players plan on going, I might be at Warrenton or Fairfax (maybe both!) I'll know for sure by the beginning of next month.
 
Fourth! I won't be at any of them except Fairfax this time. APWK, which ones are you going to?
 
Seventh. I want your Gallade 4s. <3 <3 <3 <3

I'll probably be at Warrenton, but I'm not sure because my community theater has tryouts on the same day.

Wow. I just realized that question was for ME! (ahahahaa @ random looking acronym! :lol:)

Honestly, I don't know. It kinda depends on whether I'm judging any or not.
Can't do Fairfax though because I have to attend/am in charge of ... a field trip.

Yes, I agree... :nonono:
How about actually posting which events you'll be attending in addition to your number-- then your numbers amount to something more than a big, pink, spiced ham??

This post leaves me feeling empty. It lacks a kind of signature sharp stinging criticism, extreme one-sidedness, and rhetorical open-endness that we all have grown so fond of and adds a certain quality to the Pokegym :rolleyes:.
