Courtesy of a heads up from Bill Stark, we can all go check out the locations for North American regionals tournaments. Regionals this year come up on May 16th (which is two days after I come back from travel, so that's handy).
Regional tournaments feed into your country's nationals, yielding from 2-8 invitations (most of them clock in at 4). I encourage you all to attend the nearest regionals if you can. It's a fun tournament that brings together a wider swathe of your local Magic community than a PTQ would, while still remaining a competitive environment.
