So who's going?  And where are you staying?  Guess I need to get a room booked soon...

[Daniel Royde]

That is plenty of time Come on the 2100train with us. Ed booked a youth hostel for the weekend this morning

my go-live might get canned, but I won't know until about 6pm tonight, and then won't be able to get to Manchester and arrange somewhere to stay in time for round one.

Yeah seems like I'm just throwing money away. Besides if I did actually have a couple of hundred to burn I would have just gone to Glenns stag do.

mills why would you randomly decide to go and spend literally hundreds of pounds to play a fucking sealed deck tournament in THE NORTH while it rains constantly and you have to wake up in the middle of the night to get there

i know its 420 but not even being really fucking baked is an excuse for an idea like this

So who else is coming on the 6:57/7 train?  I have Tom and Kierans numbers.  Lets meet outside the ticket hall on the left hand side of the main station at about 6:15.  Is there anywhere in Euston to buy beer?

[James Mills]

If you walk towards the overground platforms on the right there is an off licence just before you get to the toilets. Opposite that is a bar that sells Staropramen!

Sounds good. I know where the Threshers is and there's also an M&S if we want to que for about an hour...

[James Mills]

Damn it Kieran, get it right.

 

There are 2 M&Ss in Euston!

Standing room only sounds a bit shit.  What about playing games near Euston until there is a sane train?  I'm coming up for 6:15ish anyway.

Warning: I was in Brisbane, CA when I woke up this morning and may not be entirely coherent.

[Wen Jie Lee]

NEw plan for me is the 6.38 from euston tomorrow. Gets in at 8.50 and cabbing it to the venue probably, cabs in manchesterare cheap and definitely cheaper than a hotel room.

[Paul Hodgson]

How's everyone doing then?

[James Mills]

Apparently shit

Finished the day 8-1 in 19th from 4th on tiebreakers (I have the worst of the X-1s, obv, because I am a lucksack in opponent assignment and had no byes).  I don't know any other hometown heroes that made day 2 apart from maybe Roy Rafferty someone said?

[James Mills]

Roy is on 8-0-1
