I'm getting my license in 2 weeks, so I'm thinking about driving to FAST in Florida July 17th - July 20th.

It's Melee and Brawl, and it will cost $100 there and back from all of us if there's 4 people. That means it's $100 gas money. not $200. just clarifying.

it's like a 13 hour drive as well. so for people not planning on eating a whole bunch, you'll probably need $150 to cover everything. $200 is the safe side.

oh yeah, i got it mixed up. haha.

but yes, a 20 hour trip. i mean, we could leave earlier and thus have time to sleep and just like do stuff during the trip so it isn't as like... prison-like. or we could honestly just go 20 hours, we could sleep in shifts there. hell, i probably would love to drive all the way there myself.

I FORSEE ANTHER AND SCOTU COMING. if we don't get a third person i'll open a seat up to someone else from the MW who's on the way.

whoever wants to go, pm me.

not that kind

So DBS has a spot in the car, and Anther too. any others?

gas both ways is about $360 in a car with 30mi/gal. so 4 people ~ $90. 5 people IS cheaper, but only by about $18. and we'd have to drive a bigger car meaning less gas mileage.

entrance fee = $60. this is for both events in both games. crews is seperate. but we should enter to rep MI!

Just in case people don't know yet, we are having a brawl tournament in the Lost City in Holland. That's like 30 minutes or so outside of GR. It's partially hosted by me, but mostly my friend who I have been playing smash with for over 3 years. There should be a good turnout. For more details check this thread:

Alcoady, I haven't smashed with you in a long time, you should check it out, as well as the rest of you...

Thank you Scotu, that is much better.

Also, what is all this talk of drivings? I might be interested in blowing some cash...

I'm guessing that 100 bucks is the gas total, I got to chicago on 100 bucks for ACEN and that seems just as far or less.

Total cost of gas will be around $360.

Split between 4 people, $90. covering there AND back. we'll get housingon the way i think.

there's a MW ciruit event like, on the way to FL right before we leave, so we could go the tourney, sleep there, and continue on.
