I got there at 2:00. I signed up and went looking for a Jinzo before everything started. No luck. I saw my first opponent. He was an Asian kid who taught he was in the show. He had pretty good Japanese cards. Most of em were already in English.

Round 1-Duel 1

He started and laid a mon. face down and a card face down in the m/t zone.
I summon Harpies Bro in attack and lay a Magic Cylinder down, plus a 7 Tools and end my turn. His next turn he uses Card Destruction. That was pay dirt, I got a Barrel Dragon, Graceful Charity, and a Monster Reborn. He plays his Goblin and attacks my Harpies brother. I use magic Cylinder and he loses 2300. I draw and I remember this part, I got mage power. I use Graceful Charity to discard Barrel and another card. I reborn it and use it's affect after putting a Mage Power on it and got to destroy his Goblin. Giving it a 1000 ATK and DEF boost. He uses Magic Jammer and I use Seven tools. So now it's only 500. I tribute Harpie Bro for Summoned Skull and attack directly to win!

Round 1-Duel 2
As we just strarted, he looked a little weird. He went home because he said he didn't feel good.

Well, my first duel was bang on. I got everything when I needed it. My next opponent though was one of my "fans" I have extrememly good cards in my binder like all the FINAL peices and God Cards. I'm a good duelist. He's kind of my fan. Before I dueled him, I gave him a PROMO Buster Blader at a good deal. He gave me an Exchange, Catapult Turtle, and something else cause he cheers me on in my duels. Before we began, two kids that were pretty good, were making fun of him. Saying how he stunk and how he's gonna blow it. The boy didn't cry but he had watery eyes. I felt bad.

Round 2-Duel 1
I apoligize but the kids deck was pretty bad. He had monsters like Armored Lizards and Komori Dragons in his deck. He did make me lose LP when he summonded his Buster Blader. But I wiped him out after that.
The stupid kids were behind him the entire time lauging, he was trying to ignore them. I had no choice but to attack with a Harpies Bro and win.

Round 2-Duel 2
The kids were still at it. I pretended to not have any cards that I can use, barely doing damage and I let him beat me. He did it pretty quick. The kids still were saying you got lucky to my opponent.

Round 2-Duel 3
WINNER: OPPONENT
Before we even began I gave up, saying I know he would beat me again. I think my opponent knew what I was doing. Next the fan kid was to face one of the boys that was making fun of him. The boy said before he started he had to check with his mom. So he left for about 10 minutes. I tweaked that kids deck and even let him borrow my Egyptian God Card. They allow it in thier tourneys.

DUEL
Fan Kid Vs. Jerk Kid
I started by telling the Jerk Kid this, "If your so good, lets have a non tribute match, with Japanese Cards allowed as long as there out in English." He agreed. I don't know how long it was, 5 or 10 minutes the kid already won twice. I was amazed!

So I lost because I wanted to be the nice guy. Big deal. I got my cards back from the kid and he thanked me. I don't know how far the Fan Kid went. But there's always next week.

PROPS:
-getting past the first round
-the FAN KID kicking that jerk's ass

SLOPS:
-The Jerk Kids
