PIU ZERO Tournament, Bloomington IN, March 24-25

Well, at the moment, I'm in Noblesville. I can't justify driving down to Louisville to pick them up and drive back up to Bloomington. Now, if I make it back to Louisville tomorrow, we will be taking the Jeep together. But as of now, I will be driving down to Bloomington from Noblesville and meet them at the arcade (or wherever we decide to meet).

I won't be coming to Louisville first. Jason, I'll meet you half-way (I'll catch you on AIM later tonight). Driving from Noblesville to Louisville to Bloomington to Louisville to Noblesville in one day would not be very fun for me. That's about 500 miles of driving (3 tanks of gas or $150).

I may be down there tomorrow, I may not. It mainly depends on if I have a vehicle to drive tomorrow. If I do go down, I probably won't leave until 4:30- 5, as I don't get off work until 4.

I may have other plans tomorrow, but I'll try and stop by.

I'll try to stop by at some point. My girlfriend is coming up tomorrow, and I'm unsure when or if I'll be able to come. Probably either before 5 or after 7. Maybe I'll see some folks.

I'll be there approximately 4ish in the afternoon. Just look for the tall, lanky guy playing Pump. That's me.

Update: I'll definately be down there tomorrow.

Google Maps is telling me 2 hours to get there from Noblesville. Can anyone confirm this?

I would say this is a reasonable upper bound. If you know where you're going quite well, you can cut that to about 90 minutes. If you drive like most people around here (i.e., completely disregard the speed limits), you're probably looking at about an hour... or a near-fatal car accident.

This is assuming you go west (on Westfield/32[?]) to 31, then south to 465, take that around Indy, and go straight south on 37. There's probably a shorter route involving 37 down to 465, but I've never taken it, so I refuse to speculate.

As a Noblesville resident, I agree...1.5-2 hours seems reasonable.

I'll be stopping by sometime around 6-7 most likely...

Hey guys...

I am newly EMPLOYED at the arcade where the tournament is taking place, so I will keep you all updated as new information comes out. I will pick up a copy of the rules and post them on here if that hasn't already been done [I haven't looked extensively so I don't know].

But yeah, any questions about the arcade, location, atmosphere, etc., I got your back.

I will be leaving shortly and so should be there around 5:45-6.

Just wanted to say meeting you guys tonight was damn fun, and I'm definately thinking about coming back next Friday for some more Zero goodness.

After talking to the arcade owner and such, I'm very excited about this tournament and how it's going to be ran. Indeed exciting

Yes, damn fun indeed.

One word of advice though, don't ask MonMotha for directions.
