First Live "Big" Tourny

Hey all - I have been lurking for a while here, this is my first post.

I played with 759 others at the Chumash Casino (Santa Ynez Cali) on Sat. Nov 19. It was a 200 + 20. I had a great time, I ended up getting 40th and slightly more than double my buy in.

Do to practicalities and logistics, most of my play is on the internet, but tournaments (not ring games) are where I think my potential is. And particularly the large field and slow moving style tournaments. What would be the best site to play a similar style of tourny? (On Sat starting stack was 5000, with 25 50 blinds for one hour, with half hour rounds from then on.) I arrived two hours late due to a traffic accident, and was happy to find I still had about 4500 in chips.

Anyways, I so far have only played on party. It seems like the Stars deepstacks tourny is the only one that may be what I am looking for....I have never actually played on Stars though (I have not set up a Neteller account yet.) Any comments would be welcome.

P.S. I don't suppose anyone else from 2+2 played in the tourny....? I did see Amir Vahedi there, he was out though before I actually sat down.
