Jimmy Buffet is still my favorite John lingo.

You deserved the invite more than anyone in the US. Congratulations, and I hope I'll see on in Hawaii.

Mine too Ryan lolol

Hope we see you there- find us if you make it out. Take care and thanks man :)
 
Congrats John! Who would have ever thought we'd ever see a couple of old guys playing for 3rd at Nats. Way to go!

Rob would be the first to tell you he didn't play Destiny, it's like he says, "Anything with three or four Ray EX d in it will be called Destiny from now on." I don't know if he has a name for it though, so for lack of a better term ...
 
Freaking sweet, John. Major congrats to one of Florida's best. I wish I could've been there or at any other bloody events this season for that matter to see it happen.
 
You are ONE CLASS ACT MY FRIEND!!! As always, time spent with you and Steve was awesome, but never long enough. Momma was a real trooper in taking care of all of us and making sure we had dinner during testing. Now aren't you glad I told you to throw away speed spread and go with what you built and are known for. You have helped Wes out so much with his BUG that if you had not played it, I would have been shocked. Use and abuse it before it's gone.
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for Wes. You and yours as well as Stevie's concern is very touching and at the same time soothing. I wish I had better news or at least some type of change but at this time he still in the danger zone. My only wish is that he had not tried to be so hard core and told me how bad it really was. They have him on so much Morphine to try and control the pain that I hope they find the cause before it damages the pancreas beyound repair. If it hadn't of been for you and Ken on Sunday night, don't know what I'd have done? A parents worse night mare when it comes to their kids was looking me square in the face and I did not handle it well. In fact I should have known something was wrong earlier. will keep you informed my friend and once again THANK YOU and your family for all the prayers and phone calls, it mean a lot. God willing I will see you in Hawaii, but 1st things 1st. Gotta get someone back in playing shape
 
Great report John, but it pales in comparison to actually being present to see the events unfold. I have always enjoyed watching your matches, and this weekend was no exception. You and your various opponents played some of the best Pokemon matches I have ever had the privelidge to observe. I say that not only because of the quality of your play, but especially because of the quality of your charachter. Anyone who gets to watch one of your games for more than a few seconds will notice that you don't just follow the principles of SotG, you live it every waking moment of your life (even outside Pokemon I'm sure)! I came away with many things from this weekend, but one of the most treasured was the positive energy I got from watching your games and visiting with you. I am so proud to know you and call you my friend. :thumb:

Aloha! I'll see you soon. :clap:

dld4a- Who would have thought ?!?! 2 oldtimers steal two of the invites :) My apologies to Rob
on the destiny label. He had a unique deck, i just saw a lot of Ray's d, my bad. Please tell
him sorry. He played me hard and is a cool guy ( who throws a LOT of heads btw lolol)
Eleven straight- wanted to eat the damn team rocket coin lol Thanks for the props man, I appreciate it.

Tag- thanks so much Chris. I wish you would travel and play more. I always enjoyed and
respected your decks and ideas because they are always YOURS! ;) Keep in touch Tag.
ps, My report was up to your "stiff" standards yes ? ;)

John- You and Wes have consumed my mind all week. God bless him John. But he comes from good stock so I MUST believe he will pull out of this. But I'll pray everyday and keep me informed
( please) when your up to it. And call if you need anything big guy. Your family to Steve and i John
and I'm proud to say that ;) Get him in shape John- next months "storybook" ending is
WES grinding in ! I know he is good hands . And , not that it is important right now, but YES- major
props for talking some sense into me ;) Not only w/ the bug but also the ray * in my cup
30 card deck. Like i have already said, people have NO idea how much talent
you and Ken have. NO IDEA! GOD bless you John and get well Wes .

Richard- wow, such nice words :) The feeling is mutual my friend ;) You and i have known each
other since " back in the day" lol and I have always thought the world of you! A true class act.
But your words about my sotg really mean so much coming from you. And yeah, what an amazing
day my friend ! Good , clean Pokemon the way it was intended. Take care Richard and so look
forward to seeing you next month ! Aloha my friend ;)
 
Tag- thanks so much Chris. I wish you would travel and play more. I always enjoyed and

ps, My report was up to your "stiff" standards yes ? ;)

I'll definitely show up for some fun next season. I got immensely bored of the Holon Engine + Castform creating such generic decks this season and it really killed a lot of the fun of playing to me. That and the incredibly cut-throat tournament atmosphere because of the wonky ratings system...

And yeah lol your report is awesome. No pandering, no ego - just what I'd expect from a Silvestro. ;) Say hi to Steven and the Craigs for me. :)
 
Good Job Mr. Silvestro, you DEFINITELY earned your way to the top4, a very very classy person......Aloha buddy, c u at worlds :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:
