Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Woodbridge, VA EX Power Keepers PR Feb 3

Daniel and Devon might have a ski trip to attend on the third - so it might be just me, Mason and Ryan. Haven't heard for sure yet, though.
 
Uhhhh..... ShadowCard, why did you turn a thread about prereleases into a thread about Moomoo?:lol:
 
Our chances of attending just got a whole lot better. I'll probably fork up the twenty to play, but I already have multiples of a lot of the reprint holos and trainers in the set. Hoping for an eeveelution * so I can pawn it off quick...

Expect to see us there.
 
The players sound excited. A lot said they're going to try to make it. Some won't be able to come and are shooting for Fairfax. No matter how many times I said this is tomorrow (Saturday), I couldn't help but feel people weren't listening to me. I had to repeat myself about 10 times. It's not like I'm teaching Chemistry :rolleyes: .

I don't know why, totoro, but you always schedule an event during the chocolate lovers festival here. In Old Towne Fairfax, the event is running from 11am-5pm on Saturday. Sunday has different hours.

Gee...between chocolate and playing Pokemon...guess I'll have to have vanilla.

Add three more to today's players. 12:00 seems like a late start, so guess we'll hang out at home for a while longer.
 
sooooo... a question for when you get back... was it the RS Gardy and Catty?!!!!!!! je veux savoir!!!

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

... is it not over yet?! it's 6!...... >.> grrr... i guess i'll just have to wait a little longer *starts looking around feverishly to find something to do in the time being*

Oui, LGB, ils sont le meme gardy et catty de ruby et sapphire.

As usual, I got neither pokemon-ex nor pokemon-star in the main event, but managed to pick up a metagROSS-star :)lol: @totoro) during the booster draft.

Now that I think about it, totoro, I think I switch between the two pronounciations on about a 50/50 ratio. I think it just depends on what kind of sentance I'm saying when determining the syllabic break - meta/gross or me/tag/ross? Kind of like metro/polis vs me/trop/olis :redface: . In the case of metagross, however, I think the former is correct since the name is supposed to be a corruption of "lots of metal," "meta" short for "metal" and "gross" being "a lot of," right?

back to the tournament, attendance of 38 and a 19 player booster draft were great. Kevin and Angelina came to represent the Maryland players, and West Virginia was also represented. Luke couldn't roll an odd number if his life depended on it :rolleyes: . Overall, fun day and lots of jokes. Mais, ce n'est pas le même chose sans les anderson :wink: .

Looking forward to Fairfax. There was talk of trying a Rochester draft, but I don't know if it was serious.

Thanks to all who came today!! Shadow said it right--a 19 person draft AFTER the main event! :thumb: NoVA sure loves Pokémon! Thanks to the out-of-staters who came from MD, thanks to Leah for HJ and to all of the great friends I've made through this game. Good luck in MD if you go there, and see you next Sat in Fairfax AND Richmond!!:clap:
 
I ended up getting 2nd in the booster draft, behind Aaron Sanyer (who outclasses me in every way, btw). Redonkuous! ;) My prize packs both featured those ugly matrix energy, though.

I ended up getting 1 Walrein ex, 1 Skarmory ex, 2 Blaziken, 2 Kabutops and 1 Cradily for my holos on the day. Noice!

Probably won't be at Fairfax. See you all at States...
