I understand that our site is a global community, but the majority of our members are from the United States, as I am.
The last time worlds was in the US, it was on my opposite coast. Worlds 2007 is in my own backyard (3 hour train ride is backyard, yes), New York City.
I am excited...and going. I have already booked a hostel with a friend and got my train tickets.
I would love to meet up with other users there. I have already discussed this with some members, and if we do this right, we could get mtgs user drafts going, or mtgs 'Question Mark' teams, etc.
It could be interesting.
I will be there for the duration.
In the spirit of 'who is going to XXX prerelease' threads, I will keep a running list of all MTGs'ers attending Worlds here, and any other details they would like to add. (days going, etc)
MTGsalvation at Worlds 2007
urzassedatives (going thursday-sunday w/Xod2win, trying to think of some shameless/not shameless promotion for MTGS)
trainswalker09 (friday, saturday, maybe sunday)
ripe (unsure of what days)
MD (thursday-sunday)
Apokalypse Kid (saturday)
Nemcon (friday-saturday?)
memnarch6 (thursday-friday, saturday-sunday possibly)
Xod2win (going thursday-sunday w/Urzassedatives)
Lesurgo (I wish I hope he might can go?)
PastyWhiteThighs (all day every day)
SquirrelWraith (saturday and sunday)
I am definitely going, if it's a three-hour train ride and that's your backyard, Seds, that's basically my back porch (I live an hour out of the city by both car and train).
I plan to get there for Friday's Super FNM, go Saturday, and possibly Sunday. But Mtgs user drafts sound great, a way to knit our community closer.
I'm going all four days. I have a stack of coupons, each good for a free draft, that I grappled at the Lorwyn Pre-Release. I plan on drafting 40-50 times.
And I want to meet Seds!

We live in a country were ~50% of the populace believe public schooling is a socialist conspiracy and that being called Einstein is an insult. We could try and fix it, but unfortunately the other 50% don't believe in euthanasia.
I intend to be there Thursday and Friday (purely for Vroom! events, I bet), and if I can duck out of work, Saturday and Sunday.
If anyone cares, I'll have a crudely ripped sheet of paper from a marble composition notebook labeled with my title from the forums and my username on the front of my binder.
I'm working hard to convince my parents to let me use frequent flier miles so that I can book a last minute flight there. If that doesn't work, I'll keep trying other routes. Maybe I'll be there, we'll see. I'm definitely trying. I'll post again if I am going.
I will be there all day every day and being thankful that I am only an hour train ride outside of New York City. Connecticut Pride!! I'll bring a binder with a big PWT on it. Though I'm not exactly a forum superstar like Lesurgo or urzassedatives, you can still come up and say Hi.
Please, accept that Magic costs money to play, and drop it. A playset of Baneslayers>playset of duals. New Jace>Force of Will. Etc... Not to mention, Legacy is so wide open, that it's easy to build a deck that can perform reasonably well without very many "money staples" at all.
Hey guys, I'll be at worlds most likely fri-sat-sun, if anybody wants to get together and play some casual games or enter tournaments together, ding me up on pm or aim, my sn is MIRZAHBAH.
I guess I should update this. Barring a supreme fortunate turn of good luck, I will not be going. Sorry for all who wanted to meet me there. You can wait until GP Philly for that maybe (next major tourn I know I'll be at)
Update, I can hit up Worlds on Saturday, the whole day. Not sure about hanging around for SFNM, as my parents are under the impression that I'm working the next day.
Barring that, who's gonna be there crack of dawn on Thursday? >_>
I'll be around all day Thursday and Friday. Look for me at the GPT, PTG and superFNM. I'll also be savagely trading - bring me your foils and goodstuff...
I'll be the guy wearing a black cap with a dead bunny on the side, skeleton-looking sweatshirt (think Elliot in ET), big-ass sideburns and a rad sense of humor. Come say "hey" and learn all about how I'm not really the prick everyone here thinks I am ...
Next time you post popular opinions, please word them in such a way that they're not infractable. Someone may be widely thought to be the dullest tool in the shed, but you can't publicly call him that, which as a mod I can neither confirm nor deny that I fervently believe he's a tool.
Might've seen you today, seds. You notice anyone at the Gunslinging tables with a binder with Memnarch on it, or the guy with a red-white heavy jacket? >_>
That aside, I will gunsling tomorrow after getting some more alterations done by Briclot. Heh.
EDIT: Pretty much, tomorrow I'm gonna be in a plain shirt with light blue horizontal stripes, and black pants/jeans. I'll prolly be around trading for new pieces for decks or cash cards, as usual. Heh.
Apparently I do not have a profile picture anymore.
I am wearing a black hoodie with a tree/dead tree on it all weekend...with fullbleed.org tshirts under it each day.
I am also going to be doing every sealed event and losing.

I assumed as much.
That works for me.
I hope we can get at least 8 MTGs'ers together to do a draft...would be interesting.
Twitter
Thanks to AEther for the avvy.
That would be very interesting...Would be very cool to try and gather some MTGSers.
I should be at Worlds at least 1 day...still deciding as to whether it will be Friday or Saturday or what. It should be a great time either way.
Hope to see some of you guys there
