The Chicago thread:where only 2 people actually LIVE in chicago

Damn I forgot to tell Haas thanks for taking me up there on Saturday. Thanks haas :tup: . Anyway good games to all that day you made me relize how bad I need to practice shit was to fun.

P.S. Domingo give me your address so I can go to your crib and spar with you. I can’t go on weekdays because I’m still in High School but I’m free on weekends.

i’m going this weekend anyway, so a tourney would be nice, me and the southside crew would go.

Mike: We’ve been working at picking up 3s, and it’s getting there, albeit slowly. Some of us want to try CvS2, and I think i’m the only one interested in learning Marvel, but we’re definitely down for more than Guilty Gear.

thanks for the warm welcome, SRK is tight

Hey all.

I’m currently going to school in the Champaign-Urbana area. Anyway, I’d like to make a trip to Nickel City before I come for MWC, but the only places I can get a bus to from UIUC are Chicago Ridge mall, Oakbrook mall, and Woodfield mall. Oh, and O’Hare, but I assume thats somewhat far away. Anyway, how far are these places from Nickel City?

I live right by O’Hare and Nickel City is probably like a 20-30 minute car ride for me or not even. Depends on traffic I guess.

Fo’ sho’ dude, ain’t on thing…but a chicken wing. Anytime dude. Next time we’ll have to drag omega with us. :karate:

Hey dude, can you get a ride to either Illinois State or to Joliet? If you can get a ride to either of those places, I’d be more than glad to take you up there with me. Currently, I go to Illinois State, and my plan was to either take the Amtrak or a rip-off bus service home to Joliet on Friday of MWC, then leave right to nickles. Either PM me or post back here when you find out more details. :karate: :karate:

Well, I actually have a friend coming up from STL who’s going to take me to MWC. I want to go there 2 weeks BEFORE so I can get a little used to the sticks, and also just to hang out with whoever’s there and get some games in. However, I can’t really get all that close to Nickel City itself and I won’t have the use of a car, so… yeah.

But thanks for the offer though! :tup:

intro time:

P.S. Bozac makes it too easy to come up w/ random insults :badboy: :wow: :clap: :pleased: :tup:.

Also Intro time:

Doug here,

Been visiting Nickel City for the past couple weeks. I also hang out with VDon, FKC, and BlackSnake. I play Bridget. I’ll most likely be making weekly trips to NC from now on. Glad to meet everyone.

elevin shadow is my hero

I heard that Eleven Shadows guy is good with Faust or something. He even has a joystick with his name on it and he saved our lives from the courtyard of doom. Not to mention, his cell phone smells of a good lager.

I live right by Oakbrook mall just give me a holla and we can play every day. Make sure to bring your systems and stuff.

Yeah Mario ill pm yo the info. My digits are 630-202-3293, you can just call me on weekend im always down to game.

You guys got owned by the UIC courtyard, like a ZAPPA LOCKDOWN

I wish I could be down there every day. But I’m 3 hours away, so thats probably not possible…

Anyway, its very likely that I’ll be coming down in 2 weeks. Not this weekend, but the next. If I know for sure I’m coming, then I’ll give you a call.

BTW, thanks. :tup:

Ima be at UIC this wed also, just wanna make an announcement.

…or yet another “you know what-I mean who” joke… :clap: :rolleyes: :devil: :razzy: :lol:

But I’ll be nice and lay off that for awhile :tup: :wink:.

Cool. I guess this makes it official. Bozac has class from 6-7, I think. If you get here during that time, call me up (1.708.351.6913) and I’ll get you.

Bring your stick.

DereklearnSlow; The stuff at Purdue is hard because to even get a room seems to be a challenge (at least a room that would help with all our games, Tv’s, etc.) I still think it’s possible to throw a tourney here but the Dean would have to approve it.

Anyway, yeah if you can come you could let me know as late as Thrusday if you’re not coming. Friday you would have to call me. If you want that info let me know. I’ll PM you.

Dammit…I’m down for some games whenever, too…

Cuz yeah…Wisconsin is gay.

isnt that that guy who used to talk hella shit to me about 3s?

and on another note… thx to bozac for backing me up in mwc thread :tup:
