My only complaint? The fun had to stop D:

We're so glad you had a great time! We thought about you during the event, and wondered if you'd come up to introduce yourself...

On top of it being a pokemon weekend it ended up being a VERY very important weekend for me personally as it's quite interesting what kind of self discovery can be brought on when you travel so far. Needless to say a pokemon tournament in texas may have been the deciding factor on moving there

{/deep meaningful thought}

glad you had fun you should have said hi X(
Next time say hi to me XD

I had fun despite making 42nd in TCG .

Finally got some Regionals pictures up (some Juniors and Seniors), got a lot more to post too.

Pictures can be found on the Houston Pokemon facebook page.

[Team Cook]

Who's ready for 2012-2013 Regionals in Houston? Official announcement within the next 5 days, stay tuned. We're very close to signing on the dotted line to secure our venue and we'll announce the information once we do.

[EXTC]

Will it be a Fall regionals?

Also, will there be any more pictures from the Regionals posted on the FB group?

[Team Cook]

Ahhhhh, Fall weather in Houston happens to be REALLY nice, wouldn't you say? Sure would be a nice time for Regionals. Something to think about isn't it?

As for pictures from last year, we've posted what we wanted to post and for those of you that haven't seen them, head over to facebook and check them out on the Houston Pokemon page.
