Please note that the location for this month's tournament is in Washington, DC - not Silver Spring. I am still looking for a more permanent venue for the winter months, but until then I have rented a conference room in a nice hotel.
The Marriott Wardman Park Hotel is located about 100 yards west of Connecticut Avenue on Woodley Road. Parking in the surrounding neighborhoods can sometimes be challenging due to the close proximity of the National Zoo, so please plan to either arrive early to find free parking, arrive whenever and pay for parking, or take the DC Metro Red Line to the Woodley Park / National Zoo station and a very short walk to the hotel.

Edit: Thanks to Galaxy, I now know that the other beyblade I didn't know the name of was another Driger MS.
Oh, never mind
I know that several of you have requested a location closer to MLK park, and I tried finding other hotels further north that had meeting room space. Unfortunately, all of the quotes from these hotels were at least double what I am paying for the meeting room in DC - and I'm already paying about twice what the room fee provides, so I hope you can understand that I can only afford so much and bear with me here until Spring.
Thanks!
And an extra-special congrats to Galaxy4Stars on his first Gold!!!
