Argh, why do all big tournaments have to start on a friday? I would be down with driving down there if I didn't have to miss work to do it. Especially since I'd get a chance to play you in person. Maybe, and that's a big maybe, if my money situation is looking good at the end of the month I'll come.

Btw, sorry I'm always turning you down when you invite me to play online. I just hate playing this game online so much I have given up trying.

just pretend you are sick that day one day wouldn't hurt

Unfortunately, due to short notice I wont be able to attend as much as I initially want to. I wish you all the best and hope to see you at other majors ahead.
