I'm confused about the May 9 dates you just listed. Which one are you going to be at? Sorry about the big bump.
I surely will be at Y2K, but how are the two overlapped like that?
 
What, yo didnt know that MPB can be at 2 places at once? He is just that darn good.


Oh, and I would like to order a prize card salad with ranch dressing pls!

MP Birch will be in Tyler for their "Rising Rivals Prerelease". The event at "Y2Komics" will be in the good and capable hands of "Spotter & MrMeches". Go to either event and you will have a great time with the new cards!!!

That is if there's lunch.

Also, you have to make sure you have a POP ID. If you don't, then do not worry as you will be provided w/a registration form for you or your parent/guardian to fill out (if you're under 13 I think).
 
I'm really looking forward to attending this one. It's been over a year since I've attended any Pokemon TCG event, due to having to work on Saturdays. I assume my POP ID is still valid after such inactivity? lol

Oh yeah, I forgot about the no lunch break thing that's been going on. >.<

Still though, there's always SOMETHING to get on the way if you just want to save it for later, Wendys, Donuts (Unless they close early), or STARBUCKS. :biggrin:

Oh, and to whoever asked if your POP ID is still good yes it is as stated above. (But what they didn't mention is the fact that if Palkia causes a huge tear in space that completely ruins everyones POP ID it won't be anymore. :lol:)

Also to make this post isn't just a big can of spam I'll add a question. Will a booster draft also be held after the main event?

3. Do you have a POP ID? (just say yes or no)

I'm wondering the same thing.

With everything shutting down I want to know if they will to. :/ (Well at least I can look on the bright side, if they don't hold this tournament I'll have enough money for a DSi. :biggrin: )

Oh and Gabriel, what do you mean don't have a parent or legal guardian? Surely if you're under 12 you have a parent or legal guardian, otherwise you wouldn't have a computer. x3
