What is the best place to fly into, I know Kawaii Rice is flying in from Seattle also like me, but I'm looking for transportation after that, from what it seems LAX is cheapest but also kinda far, as for POINT A: Los Angeles, to POINT B: Ventura, CA, I am running into a huge wall, the cost for a Cab is looking to be $90.00 one way. My Dates of arrival as it stands (no sure time during the day yet) is to fly in on August 13th, (friday), and leave on August the 17th. I am flying in for sure just for this so any offers or recommendations are appreciated at this point in time. So far I have me and my girl, we will be staying at a hotel in Ventura.

Thanks.

I think the real question is, will the tournament or event even be hosted? It seems that communication has been non-existent from Green Forest. I hope it will go. We could discuss the predictability of the Mariners and Seahawks versus the Padres and Chargers.

As a resident here at LA for over a dozen years, I can certainly say that you will have a much easier time looking for flights into LAX, and for much cheaper (If Southwest flies your airport, that's the cheapest possible). I remember reading somewhere that Green Forest is arranging transport from LAX to the locale. If not, one of us locals can certainly drive down there. No problem.

As for the concerns with Green Forest. Worst comes to worse, we'll crash a local's home and ruin the neighborhood

Umm, I live in the area and like this LAN center a lot. I'll go by there and talk to the guys that own/run it and see if they know about this controversy at all.

Best way to travel from LAX to Ventura would be to get a rental car.. As a 22year long resident of LA, you CANNOT do anything here without a vehicle! Who knows, find someone to split the cost of the rental car with you and drive/lodge together if you can.. then you can save a little $

I would try and see if you can get a flight into Burbank Airport it's much closer to Ventura than LAX and should save you money on taxi fair.

False alarm! All is well! I called the cafe directly and found out that the number I was given was attached to a cell phone that was in the possession of a girlfriend for the past month.

I am told the paypal link will be sent to me today.

Status on other stuff:
1) there will be live casting of the group stages
2) The finals will be filmed and uploaded after the fact
3) we have 35 computers available on site now
4) Additional sponsors
5) for the spectators there will be a hardware raffle

I do believe we will have the largest and most prestigious SC2 lan once we are live

Once I have the group stages up those who want to play their matches pre-release will be welcome to, however the official online qualifier will be post release

paypal link is up!

Yay! Great to see everything's ok. Way to go Diggity!

Also, did the standby list get capped? I wouldn't mind being on standby if possible. Still, definitely traveling up with Rayeth to watch this awesomeness no matter what!

Woot! Awesome! Dig, you're the man!!!

About to try to figure out what my paypal account is... -.-

Coming from LA. Let me know if you're in LA or coming through LA so we can possibly carpool. We can either rent a car (if you're flying in and split the cost) or if you're driving your own I'll definitely drop on gas! =)

My girlfriend won't come with me/take me so yah... stuck without a ride pretty much! (License revoked!)

I am not going to be a stickler about it, but preferably before you play your online qualifier.

Sorry for not adding you radnewt

Wow, just saw the update. I just found out I will be home in northern california i believe august 11th or 12th, but would need a ride up and down, which i'm not sure would be readily available, this would definitely be a hell of a LAN that I would love to check out. If anything is going down and up from south bay, silicon valley type of area, please let me know or PM me here on TL.
