Hi Pojo

I was there early, signed up and got an DCI membership card.
I grabbed a free Nintendo Magazine, and waited for the tourney to start. I met my friend there, Eskil Vestre who appeared to win the whole tourney. He came with his friends Andreas and Steven. I had a great hope to get no NJ, cuz a friend of mine in Chicago promised to visit me if I won.
