So unfortunately I can't make it for all of worlds (I have obligations here the 5-7th), but I am thinking that it may be worth it to head out early for the US open, attend worlds and then leave early.

One thing that will help me make my decision (it needs to be made fast; I have to talk to my boss about letting me leave the country during that time) is knowing if I had someone's place to crash at for my time over there (US open for sure, possibly worlds, but I may need to post that in a different thread...).

So, does anyone have room that I could crash on? I will bring tasty treats from Japan and probably have a loud mouth, but not too loud that you will get sick of me. (Imagine Goldilocks and the 3 bears; I am the pourage that she tries third.)

Thanks!

Hiya,
We can help you out in Portland for sure. I don't know about a room specifically, but a spot to crash shouldn't be an issue : )

Liz and I will be traveling from Portland to the bay area, about 45 min out of oakland. We will have room for 2, but are not sure exactly when we are driving between the two events. If there is enough interest in a bigger carpool from USO to worlds, I might be able to get my mom's pimpin van :)

If I go for the first half of Worlds, I may take you up on that offer and fly home the Thursday or Friday of Worlds.

Bump!

So I started a new thread asking how many people want to carpool from USO to Worlds. Please vote so we can make plans to accommodate everyone :)

It should be fun, we are having some players come train with the Sole Purpose Group over the summer, inquire if you are interested!
More to come,

Hi,
It looks like a few more internationals are planning to attend, I will post them on the list when they are 100% confirmed. Relating to this, if you are traveling from abroad (Europe, other), we at the Sole Purpose Group would like to make it easier for you by offering crash space. Just let us know in advance, and we will work to accommodate. There will also be a great (and very located) hotel right next to the site. Here is the link for the hotel;

I have to say I am very excited for this summer! More info to come!

Hey Luis!
Thanks for the question. It is a bit early to say who all is coming, but I can compile an initial list from this thread and people who have confirmed with us. I have updated the first page. Please chime in if you plan to attend, or are thinking about it!

Heh. I seem to remember a similar challenge made to Penske last year... will the outcome be any different? My Sagat won't be anywhere as kind as Jim was : )

Hmmm,

I have this to contribute. The part of Eric Chang is played by Kyle Hewitt, and my Sagat is represented by Boone Penske. It's a pretty accurate depiction.
