If it's in Iowa it will be right next to a corn field... just outside North Liberty (essentially Iowa City) at Grace Community Church. I'm willing to host the event. Last I heard there were other people in line ahead of me for this year, but nothing official has been decided yet.

There it is folks, let the campaign begin! Iowa may never get to (have to?) have a halftime show with Beyonce, but at least we can trust Gabe to keep the lights on.

Get to. Definitely not "have to"

How can we trust a guy that looks like Adonijah?

I'd vote for an Iowa Nationals, not that it matters since I won't be going anyway. $:-\$

I'm gonna start a "If Iowa gets Nationals, Gabe has to shave his beard and get his hair cut short" campaign!

Seriously, I've always wondering what he would look like clean shaven with a shorter hairstyle...

Mars, Equestria, The Savage Land, and Krypton are all vouching to host Nats.

Sweet! This Hawkeye alum is very familiar with the area. Ideally for me, attending NEXT year in Iowa would be a near certainty as I am already planning a trip to the Quad Cities in the summer of 2014. I've got family, friends, and a nationally televised antique shop to visit in Le Claire, Princeton, and Clinton.

But if it is this year I MAY be able to swing it if the Lord is merciful and shelters me from any financial setbacks.

The antique shop is kind of overrated and overrun with tourists.

I like the idea of Iowa, I have a cousin in Iowa City who wants to get into redemption. I might be able to go and get him plugged in.

I like to think of it as 'down the street from Pizza Ranch.'

Rawrlolsauce! · « **Reply #38 on:** February 05, 2013, 06:31:55 PM »

I remember making a big deal out of Pizza Ranch at regionals a few years back because Austin had no good pizza at the time. Oh how times have changed now that I'm within walking distance to Mesa and Punch.

All kidding aside (for those of you who saw my previous post), is there a place in the US that has a good player community that hasn't hosted a Nationals before?

Texas. Personally I hope Texas hosts one or two years down the line and not now.

Louisiana had it. If Sheriff Buford T. Justice can wander over to the Bayou state any ol' time he wants and consider it his territory, so can the TX groups.

Alaska? Hawaii? I would love to see the North East host another National Tournament.

ORLANDO NATZ 2014

Prof Underwood · « **Reply #44 on:** February 06, 2013, 10:12:10 PM »

If:
1 - Nats is in the NE or Iowa this year
2 - YMT put in a serious bid for Nats next year

Then:
I think he'd have a really good shot at it.

The only problems I could see would be:
1 - if it is the NE 2013, then MN might complain about 3 years in a row being in the East
2 - if it is Iowa 2013, then the NE might complain about 4 years in a row NOT being in the NE

To be fair, the game seems to be pretty concentrate in the NE and midwest(for the sake of this argument, TN is midwest) right now with smaller active pockets in FL Texas and the Northwest.

Are you referring to Minnesota as the Northwest?

That would make STAMP like the Far Far West?

If YMT even wants that. Which if i remember right, he's repeatedly said he doesnt.

I said I would not go to Natz. I never said anything about Natz coming to me.
