Best Meeting ever!

oh Patrik Nilsson is HighScore80

aka one of the people who is contributing to the "put four fingers and vibrate as fast as humanly possible" mindset that seems to dominate stepmania which makes it completely unfun

jealous! It's just that they can FC pretty much any songs so they need extra challenges I guess. Plus it does look pretty freaking awesome   I still think there is a difference in vibrating as fast as humanly possible and doing so while following a song and getting all the notes.  

Just got home! took 22 hours from Drew's house with the stop at QB's place and I had to slept twice on my way back  .

That was my first meet and it was great. I wasn't sure if I wanted to go at first since Myles wasn't there and I didn't know much of the other guys except from chat a bit. But I'm glad you bothered me all the time now Nathan    .

So of all the karters I didn't really know anyone that much. I mean Mark Jones had been around for a long time same thing for Nathan and Brent, David Wonn well I'm a SC player so yeah I heard that name a lot and he's well known, Josh is a top player so I knew the name only and Andrew I knew because of the FS 3lap strat and the alternate challenges. Other then that there was Derek from whom I remembered a CM sc 3lap with a song from a long time ago  .  Then that I checked the papers and saw like Bill... who's that? Elizabeth Mimms... I remembered seeing the name once or twice maybe but I didn't know that Liz Mimms was her... so I didn't know it was a her I thought maybe Liz was a male name in the US. Then JT... who's that? Sterlin... had heard the name but didn't  even know if he was from Europe or US or somewhere else.

Then there were all those GE players from all over the place I had never really talked to nor heard anything of.

At first I wasn't too sure what would go on and I knew I couldn't speak english like all of them could. But I said screw that and tried and I guess it turned not too bad even if far from perfect.
The competition was very nice and close most of the time. The other games were also great fun to look at. The Golden Eye tournament and I did spend a lot of time looking at other play Patrick playing Stepmania and it was crazy how he can read the song that fast. I also watched Liz, Jones Sterlin trying to get shortcut times while I also tried to get some and failed.

Clark was a funny guy too even if I didn't get to talk to him as much unfortunatly you better be there next time!

I haven,t talked to Bill much either but hopefully we can get more MKDD player coming so we can see what this can look like. He did do very good at the football game though!

I'm very thankful to Nathan for bothering me all the time about this meeting even if I did lose to him in the final eight maybe thanks to that gay KTB sink through the floor so that lakitu pick you up and put you back down outside. He did a lot of work to get the whole thing going and it was a big success! Good job Nate!

Sterlin was quite entertaining with oh my head (I had never heard that before) while he was getting pissed at MK64  . Really hope to meet him again.

Jones was also great I talked to him a bit here and there and he was a very well rounded player never doing poorly in the games he played like ping-pong, Guitar Hero and MK64 with that tough draw of yours. Hope to see you again!

Andrew was quite busy all around the place obviously but he was a great guy to be around. Very generous and so was his family! Awesome week-end and I look forward to it again.

I haven't talked that much with brent Wonn and those but I did look at them play Brent going at that FS sc flap thing and Wonn with the DK64 arcade along with some nice glitch like SMB1 small firemario.

I really had fun with the Liz/JT/Josh trio (and I was surprised as to how good Liz was... and JT too for being unranked).  I talked to Liz and Josh more then JT but it was great fun and that kart game at night was very close and cool! I really hope to see you again and wouldn't mind doing an extra trip this winter maybe.

So my highlights
The kart session at night with Josh JT and Liz which was so freaking close all the time
Illu's headshot through the glass in facility on jimbo.
The like 3 or 4 double kill that happened in one of the Illu and jimbo match I think.
Me getting lost while going to QB's house
Me getting lost while leaving from QB's house  
Jimbo getting the Archive WR live.
The last day where I could go against that near GOD time of Josh and somehow follow it for a bit on MR
Losing to Liz in poker like 3 time all on the river card  

hopefully this wasn't too long to read but I guess it is!

Hey wheat, don't get too angry about that guy who finished ahead of you in Kart, there's a good chance he n00bed those final tracks the same reason the other guy did so poorly!

I'm going to start posting more often here I think, my thoughts are in the elite topic, pictures are there too. Great meeting you Kart guys again!

Better GE players this time around than Kart players, and I took advantage of it. I knew I was better than Wonn and if I played anyone the same as I played him, I would have beaten them too probably (barring Josh or JT). Who cares if I bombed the finals, just wanted to beat you and that was it.

Also, I tried uploading the 263 MB elite-football vid onto Youtube, but after almost 2 hours of uploading (wtf?) I just gave up and will try again later.

Those are pics from different trips/meetings:-p

And, Karel, Illu mentioned you as well

We need a good SMK player to come by the US next year, how about yourself?

... my 15 year old cousin from when we went to visit on a road trip? lol

Suggestion for next time:

Take more photos of the girl

Take less photos in general

You guys take to many photos like you should just take a couple really good ones. Like when I go through that photobucket there are like 500 photos of nothing.
