I need to change my status to probably not coming. My way of getting there was through going to Rom's and carpooling up, but with so little known about his current situation I have to say I probably won't be making it up there either.

RBY and dunnius are going together afaik, and we were all in the same area (actually, RBY is closer to you than I was), so just arrange something in the group PM I set up over a month ago for the SoCal'ers.
DarkKobold, I added you to the definitely coming list, since nesbot is on the schedule. I'm assuming since you live so close, you won't need sleeping arrangements. Is that right?
Opario, sorry I'm so late, but congratulations! It's so awesome that you get to spend 2 years in Japan!

Thank you very much! I'm really pumped about the call. My brother served in Tokyo, so he came over and dumped a bunch of his resources at my place. At this rate I could probably read through the entirety of the BoM in Japanese before I ever enter the MTC.
I can join in on the Super Metroid 100% race. 1:45 or so in real time is a usual, so fitting in the 2 hour block shouldn't be a problem.
Also, I can play LttP. I am best at 100% (takes about 2:00 - 2:05 or so) there too, but I plan on practicing up on any% for a race if Opario is interested.

That's correct. Like I said in the Equipment thread, let me know if you need help setting things up. I can also help with clean up, and travel if necessary.
I'll go ahead and mark myself as coming, seeing as I'm 95% sure I will be. I'll be staying with Reaif, so I won't need lodging at Essentia's.
I can run in the Super Metroid 100% race. Tranq, Reaif and I already do 3-way races sometimes and it's always very close. Should be a fun race.
I can also do Uniracers if more games are needed. This would be a run on a file that already is complete so as to not do any tours more than once. Total time should be about an hour, setup included.
What is the criteria for attending, I'm in Los Angeles, could drive others, I have never posted before nor attempted a speedrun but watch a lot of speedruns, thought the January event was awesome. I can participate in either L4D2 or Castle Crashers and most likely not slow down the others. Could bring a high performance gaming laptop. I would prefer to stay in hotel accommodations if there are any available nearby.
If you are driving from LA, you could carpool with UltraJMan who lives in LA as well and is wanting to carpool. Riskbreaker Y and I are carpooling from the Riverside county area.
Hi Bloodweb, it's great that you are excited about coming to the summer marathon, but a lot of people who are coming to the marathon have been around the forums for a while and have been involved in the community. I recommend that you get more involved with the SDA community (post in game threads, verify runs) over the following months and then try to come to the next summer marathon or AGDQ.

Hey guys, just letting you know that I won't be coming to the marathon afterall. My job is under new management and what little vacation I have accrued has been wiped clean (part-time work for less than a year). So yea, sorry and needless to say I'm disappointed.
I can't make it to the marathon either. My parents are both working tomorrow and I don't have a license to drive myself to Dunnius's. I'm really sorry for such a late notice on this and constantly flip-flopping on whether or not I can make it. Ultimately I'm going to be in the chat the entire time if possible, so if you guys need an extra mod it's the least I can do...
For now I'll just plan ahead to AGDQ2, I know for sure I can make it to that as it's much easier to plan for ahead of time and set exact dates. Again though, I'm really sorry I can't make it as I know it really messes up the schedule as far as KSS goes and Ninja Gaiden.
Oh sorry, I meant on the 3rd, when I was going to leave anyways to go to Utah.
And because I would have to go to Essentia's and then turn around and go back to Orem, is it possible for someone to pick up JMan in Orem, or if not, is it okay, JMan, if you spend the night at my sister's house? I am going up the next day anyways.
