Nor Cal Regionals 2009 has now come to an end and I must say it was the best tournament that I have even personally attended.  Big props to Choi, iplaywinner KS2 productions, Mr Wizard, Kineda, and everyone else for coordinating a great event.  I competed in Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo: HD Remix and Street Fighter 4.  I won 1 game in winners bracket and a 1 game in losers bracket for both events.  Pretty happy with my performance but I think I still have a lot of leveling up to do.  After I was knocked out of both tournaments, I had the pleasure of watching some sick matches between some of the nations best fighters.  Videos will be posted soon.
