Crap. I'd love to go to this one but I'll be at the Jersey shore.
Just make sure after the show you head up Boston Street to "Bartenders". My buddy is the co-owner.

A couple of us will be hanging out in B'more the night of the show. Should be a good time. We may check this place out. Of course part of me will be checking twitter to see what is going on in Easton at Wrestling is Fun. I have a sneaking suspicion the Chikara storyline may continue there.

I think I'm gonna head over at about 130 and park at the arena then walk to get some food for any interested. Hopefully I can find the Italy-Brazil game on.

Sounds good. I'll be in a Briscoes shirt and black Nationals hat.

Had a great time at the show. I picked up Jim Steel and Vegas at the train station, along with Jeff who lived nearby, and went to the show with Todd.
Once we got the table set up, Gametime came by to hang out for a bit too. Lots of people stopping by who told us they remembered playing the game as a kid, and were excited by seeing that we now do Indy promotions in color, and that there was an option to play online.
Got autographs with SCUM before the show. Matt Hardy was very personable, and whatever demons he struggled with, I won't say any more bad things about him - he was a professional who was out to entertain, and he is very good at it. He also seemed like the nicest one of the bunch who wanted to make sure everyone had a good time.
The show itself was a lot of fun. We sat in the back row ringside, which is not a great view for when the action spilled out on the floor, but I love the atmosphere of being in a live wrestling crowd. American Wolves vs. Adrenalin Rush was the match of the night, though there were some spots in the Briscoe match that I really enjoyed like the two brothers helping each other set up a table so that one of them could use it later.
After the show Adrenalin Rush hung out with fans by the entrance, where Vegas and I got our cards signed. Had dinner at a sports bar with Jeff, Tournament Master, Jim Steel, and Vegas afterwards, it is always a great time to see all of them, especially Vegas who I last saw like three years ago when I was in... well, Vegas.

Currently at a bar in the Philadelphia airport waiting until it is time to board my flight home to Las Vegas.
Had an awesome time in Philadelphia and Baltimore the last 4-5 days. In Philadelphia on Thursday and Friday I went to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, the Eastern State Penitentiary tourist site, the Rocky steps and the Rocky statue, Benjamin Franklin's burial site, City Hall, Franklin Fountain, and Citizens Bank Ballpark for a Phillies game. On Thursday night I finally got to meet JimSteel which was great. Jim is so lucky because he got to see a lot,of,ECW shows here in Philadelphia and I enjoyed asking him questions about it throughout the weekend.
On Friday me and JimSteel took the Amtrak to Baltimore (about 70 minutes) and met Chewey, JeffG, and Tournament Master to go to Best in the World. Before the show I got my Rhett Titus card signed and also my Nigel McGuinness card signed. I also got a chance to meet gamtime247 which was really awesome since I have enjoyed talking to him on the boards throughout the years. Unfortunately though gamtime247 was not able to hang out with us after the show.
I thought Best in the World was a good show (but overall probably not as good as the two previous Best in the Worlds both of which IMO were among ROH's best shows of 2011 and 2012.)
After we checked into the hotel in Baltimore's inner harbor, where me, Tournament Master, and JimSteel were all staying, we went to dinner and since we were in Baltimore I had this awesome crab burger. We then went to JeffG's place to drink beer and play video games on his XBox. We played WWE 13 and I did not do too good since I am not too familiar with the X Box but somehow as the Blue Meanie I managed to eliminate 4 wrestlers in our ECW Royal Rumble. We also played Kinect sports bowling on which I did alot better.
In the morning on the way out of town, Tournament Master drove us past the First Mercer Arena where alot of important Wrestling history (i.e. Superstar Billy Graham defeating Bruno for the title) has occurred. We also stopped at Camden Yards and walked around the outside of the park where you could look directly down onto the field- what a beautiful ballpark!
On the way back to Philadelphia, we stopped for gas in Delaware and I got a soda so I could step on the ground and technically count Delaware as one of the states I have been to. Upon arriving in Philadephia we briefly stopped outside the ECW Arena (which I never got to see before) and then went down the street to eat cheesesteaks at Tony Luke's.
Thanks to Chewey for picking me and Jim up at the train station in Baltimore and driving us to Best in the World and then to our hotel after the show. Also thanks to Chewey for bringing me some of the plastic sleeves which we both use for cards since I forgot to bring some extras for the new ROH cards. Without a doubt, Chewey is one my best friends in this community and it was awesome finally getting to see him once again this weekend!
Thanks to JeffG for letting us hang out at his place after the show! I am glad I finally got to meet him.
Thanks to JimSteel for telling me how to get through the Amtrak station in Philadelphia. Without Jim there I may never have made it to Baltimore as he helped me figure out the ticketing system and boarding process at the train station (we no longer have a train system in Las Vegas so this stuff was new to me.). Also thanks to Jim for offering to buy me lunch today at Tony Luke's when we got back to Philadelphia. Jim is another good friend and it is easy to see why he is so popular in our community.
And of course thanks to Tournament Master for arranging our hotel and for offering to drive me and Jim back to Philadelphia! Although it was sort of in his general direction back to his home in New Jersey, he still made a detour to get me and Jim back. How cool is that?
I had an awesome 4-5 past days and once again it was great seeing everyone in our community who I got to see this weekend! Next year I might return to the East Coast to see either Tournament of Death, Best in the World, or some other show.

Great seeing all the gang yesterday. I enjoyed the show as well. I'd say Ciampa-Elgin was my favorite match followed closely by Wolves-ACH&TT.
It was unfortunate I couldn't stay later and hang out with you guys after the show. The friend I traveled to the show with needed to be back by 10 for a friend's bday party. Hopefully Vegas at some point I can get out there for a PWG show out on your side of the country. I feel at this point PWG is a must see experience for any fan of Indy Wrestling.
Chewey, if you ever want to go to a show locally sometime if they ever have one let me know. Jeff, Todd, and Jim hopefully I see you guys more often once The Arena opens up. I still plan on trying to make DBD out in Philly this year at The Armory. Great seeing everyone and hopefully we can all get together again down the road.
PS the channel CWFH is on for DirecTv is 219, MavTV.

Wolves vs. ACH/TD was great and Elgin/Ciampa was better than I was expecting but on the whole man was this show not that good at all.
