Since this is an international community, I'm not sure somebody's gonna be willing to travel to the south of France, but if you are we are organizing a tournament in Marseille on April 16th, followed by a day of free play and meeting outside. All infos are here:

Hope to see you there :)

Looks interesting, I would like to attend, but... I hope the tournament has a lot of players.

We hope so too :p
So far not so bad, one week after the announcement and 5 months before the event we have 8 players. We are hoping for a minimum of 20 (and then hoping the first hope is not an unreasonable one !)

If you're interested the Spanish fast train goes to Marseille, last year we went to Barcelona in 4 hours!

I've given my word to someone regarding PAX East. If that falls through, depending on what happens with life, the chance of me showing up in Marseille is low, but not necessarily zero :)

Wow, getting someone to cross the Atlantic would be kind of an achievement in itself :D

If I could... But I probably cannot go. I plan to move to Ireland with my brothers, who are already there, in the first or second month of this new year to come. I hope I find there stability, and a job. I will be busy, or so I hope. It's taking time, because I have pets, and I need them ready to move to Ireland. Also, I'll need an international moving company, and all... A real pain.
