Current Plans for Iowa

I have been out of it for over 6 months, so I have no idea what the current plans for Iowa's Smash scene is.

Can we make this a directory too? ^_^

I'll be going to Victor's smashfest as well, and that means I bring zyroqwa.

I'd go to Victor's but Des Moines is far and I won't be here 12 anyway, and I'm definitely going to kintehr's, along with my bro and maybe a few friends.

Added. Ian, if you're going up to Marion with Tim, can you give me a ride? And maybe David as well, but I'm not so sure if his mom will let him. Thanks.

i'm looking forward to facing all of des moines, and i hope when you all meet me you will respect me a little bit more and not see me for my arrogant attitude on the boards.

Not all of Des Moines will be there, but the top 4 players. Good enough though.

And most of us know that the stuff the happens online doesn't carry over into real life anyway. Don't worry about it.

Hello Iowans.
I am native to Iowa, but I have been dwelling in Idaho for the past several months. However, in mid-to-late August I will be returning to Iowa. Just thought I'd let everyone know.

I'll be returning to Cedar Rapids.
Google Maps says Cedar Rapids is a mere 7 minutes away from Marion, where kintehr is having a fest. Check the first post.

What's an Iowa thread without EarthBowser!?

Yeah, Marion is practically inside Cedar Rapids.
After taking a better look at my calendar, it looks like I won't even be able to LEAVE Idaho until the 24th of August at the earliest, unfortunately.

We're not going to join Smashfests, considering we live roughly 2 and a half hours apart and there's no reason why we should.

kamikaze falco is added to the Marion fest.

I'm hoping a lot of good people go to the Fest on the 19th, because I'll be there, and I want to play people...I can't make it to Des Moines, and even if I could, I have to go to Chicago on the 12th.

Well, several Des Moines players are coming, combined with kintehr's local friends, you guys, and if EarthBowser decides to come, it looks to be a good-sized fest.

As you can see in the first post, 7. At least for now. When I get back to Des Moines I have to call a couple people to see if they can come.

I was able to get off for both dates, so now it's just pending on a ride from..... Tim I guess, since victor is riding with him. Has David confirmed that he is going yet? I might be able to drive, but I doubt it since I think my girl has to work on the 19th.

David will be at my place on the 12th, but he hasn't asked his parents if he can go to Marion on the 19th. He will be playing kintehr at the Des Moines fest, so maybe he won't feel the need to go to Marion.

Also, Ian is the one who'll be driving.

Edit:
EarthBowser's PM about Marion said:
I'm definately going to try to make it. And yeah, I've been slacking on my posting lately.
Yay!

I want to play EB, we would have a long time ago, if my parents wouldn't have been so uptight about it.

...where'd my Iowa thread go? ;P

I doubt I'll be joining, as GameStop has me working almost every Saturday at some point in time, but here's hoping that I get to join up ONE of these times.

ok guys sorry very late notice.

i've talked to victor about your smashfest, and i thought since i will not be able to make it on the 12th do to my parents job fair, i was thinking of maybe holding on the 13th a mini tourney. i still would have to talk to omaha if they'd want to come, but so far my count would be that we'd have almost 20 people participating in the tourney if everyone showed up, now it'd be like a 5 dollar buy in for it, which wouldn't be bad, regular tourney rules and such, 60% 1st
30% 2nd
10% 3rd
we could even do a doubles tourney, 5 per person or possibly just 5 per team. if we did it the pot for first if the show up would be 20, the pot would be 100 dollars, so 60 for first in singles, and if we were to do 5 per team, would be 30 dollars, and if we did 5 per person it'd be 60. please think this over, its a good oppurtunity for all of you who have not been to a tourney before, if you don't think that this is a good idea or too short of notice, i understand i'd just like to repay you all for missing the smashfest.

kamikaze, I've added the smashers that you listed.

Anyone up for JBM's on the 13th? I'll see if Fall is will be too tired to drive us, in which case I'll have to ask my parents for a ride. I'll have a better answer in a few days.

Edit: JBM, I've added your event to the first post.

Edit 2: I re-did the first post, check it out.
