No, I stopped thinking about it after my parents said the first/second weeks of June wouldn't work. I'm not real particular on the dates, what would you suggest?

Alright, that's what I figured. Are you taking some kids down for OR state? Do you still want me to place the order?

no I will not be taking any with me to Oregon state in fact if its in medford I wont be going either

So that means you wouldn't be interested in driving down with me?

Josh, remember we're moving state to your church.  Same weekend.  I just need to inform Rob.  With what happened with Sam I was going to keep it here.  But with your big playgroup I can probably make enough to cover the cost of the trip.

what happened with Sam?  Okay I wasn't sure if you were going to move it up here or not. Lodgeing is free Scott up here and it sounds like breakfast on saturday may be free. (WAFFLES)  And Ben you can stay the night here too, and YES i still need that order for Regionals.

Schedule has been updated with highlighted changes.   

Ben I do have one idea. First question is are you getting a job this summer? If not what if we didn't do WA state on a weekend.  Of all the people that would come to WA state if we had it, I may be one of only a couple people who have jobs.  The  rest of the players, especially my group, all are students who have hte summer off.  What if we were to do it on a Monday?  This just came to my mind and I thought it would be interesting.  I'm not saying we should run a WA state but I'm not saying we shouldn't.  A WA state would give those of us wanting to go to Nats another chance to earn RNRS points as well as giving the guys who might go with me to Nats some much needed experience. Plus it gives the NW playgroup more cards to us for deck building and bringing in newer players.

Or what if WA state was Thursday June 25 and then Friday 26th and Saturday 27th was Regionals.  It would get us ready for the 3 day Nats schedule. Then Scott would only have to make one trip up to this area. Just thinking out loud.  Heck I know a few of my youth would love 3 days of redemption. Plus on Friday I don't plan on starting until evening time for the events played then so friday would be a day to relax or do whatever.  My personal preference for Friday would be us sitting down and discussion deck ideas for Nats and then building decks.  I know one of the guys who might go with me will play both T1 events and I can't build a T1 deck to save my life.

Also I just thought of this, if Gerry wanted to come across for Regionals doing a thursday WA state tourney might be a really nice bonus for him and his boys.  That way they wouldn't have to come to OR state and then back for Regionals to get all the promos but just a four day weekend or so and could get all the promos and play alot of games.

See I can have good ideas. What do you say Ben?  Think about its packs flowing down like rain, RNRS points building like towers, and Mt. Dew (not for me I can't stand it).  Could be lots of fun and I will cover the application fee for WA state if you do supplies and any extra supplies I'll probably buy from you in case I need extra the next day at Regionals.

If your parents say no I'll have to use my super amazing back up plan and play at my parents house in the game room in Longview. But thats a long drive only to drive back for regionals the next day.

Wow! Having WA State and Regionals on the same weekend is a great idea Josh. It would be like our very own Nationals, and it would save us alot of driving.

Let me double check with my parents. If they're alright with it then that should probably work.

Any news on WA state?

Just waiting for church approval before sending in the application.
