My Grand Prix: Seattle weekend began with waking up at 4:30am, my wonderful girlfriend driving me to the airport and meeting up with Eli Kassis, Paolo Cesari and Ozzie. For as early as it was, I was absolutely wired with excitement for this event. I missed Grand Prix: New Jersey last year due ...

The weekend of Eternal Extravaganza 3 (EE3) or as I like to call it, “A weekend at Aaron’s” begins with me taking a half-day on Friday so that I could travel down to Allentown, PA from Syracuse, NY so that I could fit in getting some cards signed at Illuxcon! For ...

A look behind For the sake of contextualization, let’s say a lot happened for the league since the last article was published. I was ahead in our ranking, but without a comfortable lead over my competition. It was our last weekly event, only was thing was left between that time and the ...

The trip down to Tales of Adventure in Pennsylvania wasn’t as bad as his first event, where I spent most of the morning wonder why I woke up at six and slightly hungover. On the bright side, I did manage to top 8 as did my ride — Brian Finlayson-Schueler. Brian offered to drive again,...

Read More Friday was miserable, there is simply no other way to put it. With storm Nemo on the horizon, when I awoke for work I knew it was going to be a tough day. Since when does society name snowstorms? If they continue this, I just hope the next one is Dory. Anyway, I left work...
