Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Hiya, I am GMT -5 as well. To be honest, I'm still getting a hang of this singles thing (lucky for you :d) but this weekend would be ideal - I should be free during the day on Saturday if that works.
Hey, I'm at GMT +12. On study break atm so I can make it pretty much any time during the day. Shall we say 12 PM my time tomorrow, which should be 7 PM your time?
grand slam definitely sounds like your thing, you gonna be learning ubers and LC soon i suppose! anyway all the best with your job and your tryouts, lemme know how they go :)
