That'll probably be the best way to do it unless you can fit it in your luggage. I'm willing to pack my Xbox so we can play in the room (aka in the Jacuzzi) since I think that'll be kind of fun. I'm guessing the BYOC area is going to be packed and waits will be long.

I want to eat good food but I'm doing so well in weight loss (225 before I went to bed last night!!) that I'm at an impasse. What do I do, Riot?

Good luck getting a console hooked up in your hotel. I took my Xbox to Vegas and had a hell of a time getting it connected. The TV was in hotel mode with all the inputs locked out. The best I was able to do was an RF adapter, and even that was fuzzy b/w picture with no sound. Hopefully your hotel TV will be less fascist.

God damn that sucks. I thought inputs on hotel TVs were standard nowadays but Vegas is probably a little different since they want you outside of your room shopping or gambling.

The inputs were indeed standard. They were just disabled.

If your tournament experience sucks even after you follow all of these, then it’s likely that you made the mistake of actually calling one of the phone numbers on the stripper and “massage” “services” cards that they hand out on the Vegas Strip and had one of them visit your room, leaving you with multiple different cases of STDs, the flu and broke.
I’m kidding, of course. The majority of you wouldn’t know what to do with those cards anyways.

Not everyone is transient gypsy that lives out of a backpack. Most of these kids have probably never left their parents' home. Remember that Ft. Wayne house?

I'm not sure where "there" is in this sentence.

Why would you not stay at Chad's the night before? Our flight is at 7am which means we have to be at the airport at 6am at the absolute latest (security, baggage check, and finding the gate can take forever) but I'd prefer earlier. In other words, it'll take about 20-30 minutes to get to the airport from Chad's so we got to get up at 5am more than likely.

I'm all for putting all of our shit in the car the night before so we can just get up and stagger to the car. Speaking of which, how are we getting to the airport? I really don't trust a cabbie to be punctual. Can Joseph hook us up for $20?

EDIT: What are people bringing for snacks? I'd like to have peanuts and beef jerky.

I'm not bringing any snacks I am not a persnickety child!

And "there" in that sentence was the kid's house Chad mentioned in the post above. Now FJ holds them in his done-up garage and FJ is pretty rad. I'll probably go Saturday if I'm not frothing at the mouth for Comic Con updates about MvC3.

Which one was FJ?

There was the awkward as hell kid who was the host, the kid that had horrible BO (Clem, I think), Spencer who is a special character, and Brent who is actually normal and DTF.

FJ wasn't there when we went to play together. FJ was at the tournament last weekend and I went with him to the one in Cleveland as well. He's a cool cat.
