I figured as much, since I saw the Menchaca crew on there....LOL.....See you in a week at Texas States.
Houston, Texas Pokemon TCG & VGC Regional Championships - April 14 & 15, 2012
- Thread starter Team Cook
- Start date
And to be honest, the photos are from a couple of years ago. I somehow lost the last two years of photos but I know the photos are on a disc somewhere in my house.
Another video is on the way, stay tuned and our plans are to make a video of the winners and post it afterwards.
Would you be interested in running any alternate format tournaments? Common/uncommon, draft, singleton, unlimited, DX-on expanded, etc...Lots of possibilities!
I guess more to the point, though: would anyone else be interested in playing in these? Mike won't be interested in running them unless others are interested in playing.
I'd love to draft.

I got a phone call this morning from the hotel telling me we booked all our rooms. WOW, AWESOME!
We've added more rooms so there's no reason NOT to to stay with us at the Hilton.
You've got until March 30th to get the GREAT Pokemon rate.
Ask for the Pokemon block / $79.00 + tax = under $93.00 and free internet in your room and YES, the tournament IS IN THE HOTEL, no traveling from point A to B.
Don't forget, ALL names on the Pokemon block list (provided by the hotel) will be in a raffle for a sealed box of Next Destinies.
Don't forget if you're flying in, FREE shuttle every 30 minutes to BUSH IAH.
FREE shuttle anywhere with in 5 miles of hotel.
FREE parking inside garage or outside.
FREE visiting with ME.
-------------------------
More announcements coming soon, such as Friday night side events, weekend contests, and vendors. Notice the "s" on vendors.

Do do envy you, traveling from state to state judging.
Quite frankly, I can't think of a better reason to come! In fact, I'm gonna be disappointed if the entire Gym doesn't show up now that this information is public...
and I ain't talkin' Cleffa!---------- Post added 03/18/2012 at 08:30 PM ----------
The whole GYM would be crazy if they don't show up in Houston. I'm tellin' you, I'm gonna rock Regionals for all the players.

Call the hotel directly and let them know that you will need a shuttle and when (provide flight info and what terminal). 281-875-2222 - They start the shuttle at 5:00 am and run through 11:30 pm and run every 30 minutes.

Vendor Information for Houston Regionals:
Troll and Toad - Buying in bulk, buying and selling singles, selling other Pokemon stuff. (Saturday only)
Strikezone - Buying and selling singles and selling other Pokemon stuff. (Saturday and possibly Sunday)
Space Cadet Collections - Selling singles and other Pokemon stuff. (Saturday and Sunday)
Possibly two more vendors coming in, we'll let you know if added.
Stuff - Booster packs, theme decks, plushies, all kinds of Pokemon stuff. I would assume each vendor will have something different from the others.
Vendors will be open at 8:00 am - 8:30 am and can shut down anytime after swiss rounds, it's up to them. We have no say with how they buy or sell, you will need to contact them if you have questions. All vendors will have Pokemon related items only, other than the generic sleeves, deck boxes, and play mats.

Hey guys! I just got off the phone with the hotel (after receiving calls from some of you). We've added more rooms to the block, and I made sure they added more of the Standard 2Q (2 Queens).
Please keep in mind that although the special rate is good through the end of the month (March 30th deadline), we are very much limited by the hotel inventory. Most of the rooms booked in our block are for the 2Q rooms, and they don't have a lot of those left. And when they're gone, they're gone. It doesn't matter if we still have a week to go until the deadline.

VERY IMPORTANT!
It has come to our attention that some of the families or players that booked at the Hilton Houston North are not coming up under our room block. If you booked a room at the hotel, please let me know. Simply send me a private message on here or email me at [email protected]. All I need is the name the room or rooms are booked under.
Remember, every name on the list is put in a raffle for a sealed box of Next Destinies and yes, your name goes in for each night booked. I would hate to see you miss out because your name wasn't on the list, so don't get left out.
Friday night side events and extra weekend contest will be posted soon, just wrapping up some loose ends.
Looking for non judging Staff. We'd like a couple more runners and a couple of non playing parents to help out with other tasks. Staff only during Swiss Rounds on Saturday and Sunday. Shoot me a pm on here or email me at [email protected] if you would like to help out and earn some super duper Next Destinies packs for the kiddos.
