we can both route for an all manning SB.

Can anybody offer reccomendations of hotels in the vicinity?  How about bars?

sure i can go for that be an easy win in the superbowl then (;

Hmmm… hotels I'm not as familiar with, but I know that Dobbler had mentioned the possibility of putting folks up at his house to help them save costs. As for bars, we usually hit a little dive bar a couple blocks down called W.F. Cody's whenever we wrap up gaming on Saturdays. It's got the tastiest, greasiest burgers you'll find and our usual server is a blast. As well, Parlor 88 is on the nicer end of the spectrum and just a few blocks down the road going the other direction. That's where we went for New Year's Eve last year. Aside from that, there are quite a few around since it's a college town (and some really cool ones downtown) but you'd probably need one of the locals to tell you more about those. I commute.

So will this be the first bigger tournament of the new year?

DC is having one January 12th. But we figured everyone would be too spent from holdays to travel so we didnt bother announcing it. Not sure it has even been finalized yet though so that could also be the reason for the lack of info.

Technically, the first tourney of the year that I'm aware of is the traditional Winter Tourney in Salzburg/Austria. Just sayin'. ;)

Happens during the………wait for it…….."First Snow of Winter"? 

tyty ill be here all week.

My place will be open for travelers.  I really do recommend staying here if you like to hang with other players late into the night playing games, eating free food and drinking free drinks.

I have four twin beds, 3 inflatable mattress, a sectional couch that sleeps two and two sleeping pads.

I also have a king size bed that I sleep it, there will be an online auction soon to see who gets to spoon with me.

~Good lord, there's gonna be an orgy! Thank god I'm halfway around the world from that cesspool! ;)

Ratatoskr said:

No, that's what happens in Mathlete's bed and Fox's bed.  Mine is plutonical spooning.

Dobbler said:

I don't believe a word you say. Who would have a setup like this

Dobbler said:

and not be into orgies? Where I come from we sleep on narrow, rough wooden planks, and only if we're well off do we get a thin sheet for cover. You Americans are all decadent.

Still, the best part of gaming is the people, and we may make it down just for that. If we do, Dennis, want a rematch? I may try playing something other than Targ burn, which is really no fun now that everyone else is playing it :P

Yup, i have a martell HH deck that i have been working on, but it is definitely weak against targ.
