[Announcement] March 7-8: Grand Prix Chicago 2009

http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazin.../other/112008a

Its about time wizards maybe this time it wont be gp flash.

Fucking sweet.

I have no idea if it's within driving range, but fuck it, I need to go to this!!

I'll see you motherfuckers in Chicago.

edit - Hey! There's a Standard Grand Prix here in Seattle, too! I might just have to try and make that one, too.

Chicago? Nice. I'm in.

Chicago? :/

Chicago : )

I'll try to make it.

Sh*te Chicago, I wanted to judge that one.

Meh, certainly going to Paris and Rotterdam, perhaps even to Madrid, Brighton and Hanover.

I could consider Boston if it was worthwile in terms of sourcer-turnout and I could arrange to sleep somewhere cheap. I'd bring belgian beer and alterations.

Don't worry. The Upstate BZK contingent WILL be playing this. Otherwise it's hardly a fair representation of Legacy magic, is it?

Oh, Hells yes.

Expect some number of Virginians. Come hell or high water, I definitely expect to make this.

Goddamn you Tarmogoyf/Counterbalance/Flash. Why do I only get one Grand Prix with Solidarity? Fuck you. Especially you Tarmogoyf. You like boys.

Hm, I guess that means more testing.

Count me in that number.

We got one <hand clap>, but Extended got four again <breaking the beer bottle> and <Sean Hanity tone> possible a six events!

Fair and Balance, they say. I know Flores and BDM are going to say their usual "unfair" BS about the format to discourage people from playing this format. They do it all the time when it comes tp our community, it's written all over their writing without a formal apology to the community.

I have every right and reason to criticize and yell "FOUL PLAY!" to them for discouraging people from playing this format. I should criticize them more for how many GPs they add to the East Coast count while leaving the West Coast with a few to none. But that is a regional issue and should be saved for when I serve it raw on a silver plate.

Wizards has once again turned a blind eye towards us. Although it is not fully like the 2008 season (with no Legacy GPs or Championship Coverage whatsoever), but still they are turning a blind eye by just giving us only one GP Event instead of Four Legacy GP Events.

Huh. MercenaryBDU seems to have made an angry and irrational post condemning Wizards' behavior in some matter, while describing himself as the sole voice in the wilderness defending Legacy against the vast and malicious conspiracy attempting to destroy it.

Well, I never.

Legacy just in the States - that sucks.
Well, i was about to visit my guestparents in Iowa but that would be in summer.
Hate.

I might have to start playing magic again for this...

You live in San Fransisco, right?

Don't ever come to Eudemonia on a Friday. I might not be able to stop the RAGE.

Also, boo at being in a far-away city when I'm planning on being in grad school. Though, if I get into Madison, it won't be that far...

Oh please, my post wasn't that bad. I was merely stating my opinion that MercBDU makes me sigh in disgust that somebody so stupid lived in my general area. Aggro Zombies clearly shares the love there.

1. Who wants to form the European contingent to attend this?

2. Who wants to sponser it? ;)

Seriously though Americans, make this good so we'll get more next year, and maybe one in Europe.

Damn, I really want to go, but I 'm not sure I can since I live in The Netherlands and am still in highschool (means I don't have that much money to just fly over there). I'll try though.
Edit: Ok, I don't think I can pay ~500 euro for the flight, so I'll need to wait for an European GP.

I live across the San Francisco Bay from him. Just out of curiosity, where are you?

EDIT: I should add that Eudemonia is the large card shop/gaming center just off of the University of California, Berkeley campus. It draws a large crowd from all over the Bay Area, so it's conceivable I could have met him before. Mental (the user) also goes there, as did a guy who has since moved to go to school at Haverford (can't remember his user name...Kronicler?).

OH MY...a GP Legacy event?! Damn I hope I can make it sounds like fun!
