I'm considering driving to the states to participate in the Namco USA wide tournament.

The closest arcade is like a 4hr drive, looks exactly like Calgary -> Edmonton but a little longer and.... south not north.

Who's down?
If no one is interested in going to hickville, USA, we can goto Seattle instead.

If a Canadian won it, I'd laugh. It being a "USA Wide" tournament after all.

Do'ya think maybe Jobo or 2fast would show up?
