I missed two years in a row which is really makes me sad. I’m going to try and go this year. That article also inspired me! I’m looking at setting aside about 800 dollars to go…
The last time i went to evo was 2k3, games aside it was one of the most memorable trips i’ve ever went on. I think it’s about time for another team seattle trip for everyone…so you might count me on on this one.
I’d love to go to Evo (I’ve always wanted to), but I can’t really push myself to spend that much money to just watch people, because I really don’t think I could hold my own against anyone at Evo at any game. :lol: Plus, I don’t have any real life friends who like fighting games in the SRK way.
read the most recent article on the SRK home page… everyone in the NW scene, besides zach, is friendly. i only hate you because you beat me with cammy, but otherwise if you went to evo i’m sure you’d have a good time getting to know people from the NW and elsewhere.
I will say this. For the 3 trips i’ve gone with Team Seattle (Evo 2k2, Evo 2k3, and NCR in 2k4?) They were some of the greatest times i’ve had. Lots of memories, TONS of random events (The trace prewitt award, me tricking robert into believing that he got DQ’d from the SC2 tournament. WHICH IS STILL ON TAPE BTW, the miraculous blowout in 13 right after i brought it up, Zach’s dominance in the Movie game, Kyle and myself getting lost in San Fransico for like 10 min. etc. etc.) Those events were way better than my random matches that i had. Plus it’s tight to actually see how competition is for other games besides the ones you play. I won’t forget how random ppl were hyped to play VF4 after seeing it on the big screen in 2k3, also 3s as well. Evo is like a rave. You have to go at least once.
I found 2 people that I can go with that can cut the expenses down quite a bit. But yeah, I think Seattle should all go down and kick it! it’ll be a great experience!
I only want to go this once! I’m sure that as a northwest community we can make it happen!
I think I’ll make it for a third year. Hell, I better. I’m actually 21 this year. This time around I won’t get carded for buying a damn sandwich. Fuck that good ass sandwich shop.
I just know that if Im gonna go, Im gonna train crazily in preparation. Besides all that, theres a grip of people I need to kick it with from outside of Seattle, as well as meet some new people. Havent been to an Evolution since 2003. A reaaaaaaaaally longtime.
