Wait, what. So those of us who cannot attend are not allowed to have fun? Boy Troy, you HAVE gone heel.

@husky77 and guiltyparty (and anyone else here attending the Crockett Cup this weekend,) please let me know if you want to meet up this weekend, if so you can either PM me here your contact info and I will then send you my contact info too or you will probably see me at the show or the Fan Fest if you are going to that as I think for Saturday I might wear one of my Vegas Golden Knights shirts (they play in the Stanley Cup Finals Game 1 that night, I will be easy to spot in North Carolina with that shirt.) I believe my plane lands in Charlotte mid-morning Saturday after which I need to get a rental car and drive to Winston-Salem. So, while I might be a little late for the 4-hour Fan Fest on Saturday, I will drive straight to the event as I want to get some cards autographed, some more autographs for my WWE Encyclopedia, and hopefully some signings for the game. I also plan to go to the 12PM-4PM Fan Fest on Sunday too and I need to get some North Carolina BBQ at some point this weekend. Have fun this weekend. As far as some BBQ, my quick research on the area pointed me to Carmel City BBQ, which is in downtown Winston-Salem. Good reviews, good beer selection and lots of games (arcade, pool, darts, etc). Open until 10PM Saturday and 11-9 Sunday. Not sure it fits the wrestling schedule, but seems to be the spot I would pick.

It turns out my flight into Charlotte is earlier than I thought with me landing at 6:35 AM. I have my rental car booked and so perhaps I will go to Carmel City BBQ for lunch when it opens at 11 AM on Saturday (according to a website that I just saw for it) and then get to the Fan Fest at around 12 PM when it starts.

doing a quick count, we have at least 9 tournament competitors already signed but without cards yet I like the sound of that!

DOH. They made a mistake. They have eight teams with byes and their seeding, but they have two 4 seeds and no 3. I think Octagon's team is the 3. Also the 10 seed team, Kratos/Odinson is showing a 1 but not the 0. Other than that that is looks like an amazing tournament and should be a ton of fun.

I am getting ready to fly out tomorrow night. I bought my bags for my flight (it actually costs more for my bags to fly to Charlotte and back then it costs for myself to fly to Charlotte and back.) I got my rental car reserved (it turned out to be far less than I thought since I have rental car insurance through my Geico policy, so it made up somewhat for the huge bags fees.) I got my cat sitter secured as I have a veterinary assistant checking on my kitten Ahsoka while I am gone. Tonight and tomorrow after work I have to finish packing, but I will be ready to fly out tomorrow night.
