Can we try to have the thread up more than 2 days in advance?

Also, could we try to form a relationship with a local comic book store or a store similar to game theory (see NC) to avoid the hotel costs?

I just sent this email to the gm at big planet comics in Bethesda (its about 2 miles from the Marriot we normally do our winter tournaments at):

Hi, I am a representative of the Maryland Tournament Community of the World Beyblade Organization (worldbeyblade.org) and we are looking for a winter tournament location and wondering if your store would perhaps be interested? Each tournament would bring about 30 people into your store as participants and parents alone and would hopefully bring in curbside interest as well. I don't know if you are familiar with Beyblade as a hobby but it was originally a manga that has branched out into anime and a real-life game. The WBO (as we refer to ourselves as) has over 85,000 members currently with about 100 stationed in MD. Please respond as soon as you can and if you have any other concerns or questions before you are able to give a definite yes or no response feel free to ask them or take the time to browse the website and learn a little more about the hobby.
