How about people who play RaiEggs-like decks?

[SuperWooper]

Sunday again, eh?

This is pretty close to Christmas, and my family usually does a lot of traveling around then. I'll see what I can do, but Lusby looks more likely for me, despite the fact that this is closer.

[ixidor89]

Omigoondness I MIGHT actually make it to this.

Depends on when my relatives in the area have this Christmas-party thingamajigger.

[drmario]

Couldn't you guys do one of these on a Saturday?

[ninetales1234]

ixidor, SuperWooper- good luck, hope to see you there.

Tara has a job. Sunday is a big Pokemon day anyway. There are various factors for why Sundays are good for us.

December 16th is Boston Tea Party Day!
Just thought everyone should know. You can take that however you want.

I would've done a longer reply but typing by the window on my iTouch and aardvarks is kinda hard.

[dragonite1234]

Are u ready for a team legion SD?

[ninetales1234]

I know I missed league in Lusby and will this week too, but I want to make sure everyone knows, I am still going to be here!
10 days!

[Fox McCloud]

I would guess there's about a 61% chance I can come.

[drmario]

1 week to go.

[SuperWooper]

I won't be there. I'm satisfied with my performance at CCs this year (1st, 2nd, 2nd, 5th), plus I'm really burned out on Pokemon right now. See you all at MD States...
