Sucks that you can't come, but that's a very nice offer. Thanks =)
If we get one more person to come, we should have a tournament.

I'm still unclear on these "prizes." Like beyblades or other things? I could somehow get medals or sweet little trophies if people pitch in.
Prizes are usually beyblade gear Wink

Wut!? And yeah, I was thinking just faces/points as prizes unless you or Syn will do something more.
The main thing we still do not have tied down is a stadium. I myself am not going to be able to buy one any time soon.

Just a public opinion; should I provide cheap snacks an stuff? SHould I ask everybody to bring like $2 so we can get chips and whatnot? Or should I make it that everybody can just bring some sort of snack or drink? It's going to be outdoors (under a large pavillion [which I need to find my camera and get pics of]) so it could be hot, and if we are there a long time we at least need snacks.

Another question; Even though there are warnings everywhere about not having the stadiums on tables, does anyone even really hold that rule to heart?
Let's leave the stadiums on the ground (we still need to get one though....). As for snacks, do whatever you want. If you really wanna provide them, you can, but I don't think we'll be their long enough to need them. We'll only be there a few hours. Maybe drinks would be better to bring as it may get hot.
If your going to be there for more than 3 hours, it'd be good to bring snacks and drinks.
Go to a pound shop/dollar store/whatever. Seriously, these places are great and they often have some 'interesting' foods as well as the branded stuff. XD

If there were a pound shop in Indiana I'd visit that tooJoyful_2. But I think I'll do that. That's good advice Cute

I hope everybody doesn't think I'm stupid for asking questions all the time. I dont know how many other people acrually agree with me in thinking there is no stupid questions.
By the way, Pepe is ordering a MFB attack so we should be set with a stadium in case Kai12 doesn't show up/doesn't bring his.

I visited the park yesterday but was only able to get my camera in focus on one picture. >.>
Here's the pavillion: [Image: DSCN0724.jpg]
The park isn't very big and isn't fully developed yet.
All we need though is the pavillion. But did you loike how there were drinking fountains and bathrooms and stuff. The playground is a plus though! ^-^
Yes, I liked it. That did sound like I was unhappy XD. I'm not though, I was just saying. It should work perfect for what we're doing.
That looks like a great place to do the tournament! Smile
Agreed, seems like you have everything you need. Though if I were attending I'd totally be sidetracked by the play area. XD
Haha, thanks guys. Pepe picked good.
We'll be starting at around 11:00am instead of 10:00am like before. I can't wake up early enough to get there by 10 XD. SO, does anyone out of town wanna come before we make all our plans final?

Well I am getting there at about 10-10:30ish. We wont start battles until there are a few witnesses there anyway. Today Gimpy and I are going out to get stuff for trophies, food, and nametags (her idea).

Th3Jok3r is a maybe, but he will need to borrow blades.
That's fine, I will be probably bring around 30 of them anyway. And, yeah, nametags are a great idea.
