JoWii, how'd you like to go to a tournament on either February 11th or February 18th? Me and Blackwaltz would go with you, and we can help you with the gas money you spend between your house and the tourney, both ways (I know it's a lot of money, I'd feel guilty if I didn't help you out and you gave us a ride). If it's too far, I'll keep looking for a tourney we can go to that's closer for you.
If you agree on the 11th one, we can leave the day before the tourney and rent a hotel near the tourney for the day so you don't have to drive 12+ hours in one day.
If you agree on the 18th one, we can rent a hotel after the tourney for a day and leave the next day for the same reason (I'd bring my Wii and a TV, yeaaaa!). If they change the date of the 18th one to the 19th, then we room in a hotel the day before instead.
Why those two days? Navy stuff prevents us from doing it any other day.
What do you say? I'll help you out with a bunch of the money, all I want is to play Brawl. :D
