Hey folks this is wiggin posting from my phone in raleigh. I just met jp a few minutes ago and he is an awesome dude in person. He recommended a great restaurant called the pit and helped a buddy of mine with his dreams of one day commenting. Who else is having a blast here? Share your stories (and cheer me on tomorrow when I compete)!

Clutch here. I'm with Ender and I can confirm that JP is not only a nice guy but has excellent taste. The Pit was exquisite! I will be posting YouTube videos documenting our journey here in Raleigh with our friends here to support Ender in his matches. You can find them by searching for user 8Clutch. Hopefully I can get some interviews and maybe some commentary in. Rock on!

I moved this to TL Community, but if it's not kept up to date with interesting stories I will close it

That place was INDEED delicious. Best BBQ I've ever had! JP is practicing the script with Day9, Husky, and HD at the moment. We're all getting ready for the awesome stream.

See you at the tournament tomorrow!

Awesome, can't wait to check it out. My buddy clutch is doing something similar from our admittedly much more amateur point of view

I live ~30 minutes away!

I'm starting to worry though, what sort of identification do we need to bring?

Driver's license is perferable, I'm sure, but any kind of photo ID that has your name on it will likely work.

Well it was a blast! Got the bad luck of getting matched against sjow (what a baller!) and played ok, but wasn't really prepared for his agression. Lost in the losers bracket, pvp is... Well pvp lol. I won when we played standard, lost when I tried to be too tricky. Amazing experience thus far, the community is amazing, and even though I lost it was a great confidence booster because I really feel like I can hang with these guys (I'll only get better from here, especially now that I finished my emt cert. And will have time to practice).

I will definatly be back for another mlg event, and I plan on entering as many tournaments as I can. You all will definatly hear more from me!

It has been quite an event here so far. I have shot some good pics and video but the wireless internet is horrible where we are. Many of the players have been very well mannered on the starcraft 2 side. The amount of Halo Kiddies here can be a bit overwhelming, but I tend to rest up where they are not located (at the booths with the hot models). I will continue to shoot more vids and upload them as soon as I can. GG.
