[tarracing]

so um, wat is going to b the best day to go to c the most battles??? and let me get this straight its 30 for 1 day and 50 for 2 days??...couse i c some plp that are saying 40 for 2 days, so wich one is it??

[VINCENT 2 FLY]

$45 for two days if you bring in two can goods.
$30 for one day.

the best day is always the last day, but the pre lims are just as good, so try to go to both if you can, its worth it.

[bReAkBeAtBoI]

graff is already started. Painting will all be completed on Sunday. Emcee is the same it will take place on sat i believe.
