too bad this event is so far away - I know Joe has put in a lot of work for this tournament, so if you are at all able, I would encourage you to attend

It is really hard to plan anything such ahead. But I will definitely try it this year. Grove City is not a bad location for me.

Clay, do you want to share room (not prize! lol) ?

Grove City also should be easy for Clint.
