Oh, yes… This does mean that the BBQ is ON and better than ever - because we are having professionals cook it up this go around.

Okay, that looks like a good start. Let’s chat peeps :tup:

Nice, will Jad be there?

5

triple confirmation needed for Jad being there.

Don’t have guitar hero 3, Wes is a monster on that axe.

6

Jad will be there; Jad is ALWAYS there…

In fact… I think I am going to move him out of the basement and into one of the stprage rooms at the Hall so he is there way before the tourney starts…

Microsoft is flying in an 8 year old from Colorado to win that GH3 tourney… at least that is the story on his sKILLs

Considering going, but only for GG. Will it happening on Saturday AND Sunday? or will it just be on one or the other? I ask cuz I dont want to pay $20 for two days if I’m only gonna be there for one. :stuck_out_tongue:

jad=best tourney ever

The idea is to play all brackets to semi/finals, for our purposes it will be the final four in each tourney, all day Saturday. Then on Sunday AM we start the finals to completion for each so the peeps that need to leave can and the rest can stay until we close, hanging out playing casual, etc.

We want to give the focus on the finals that they deserve.

This is, of course, tentative based on how many actual players compete. If we have a huge showing and the place is full we will probably have to go this route - if not, and we have lots of twiddle-thumb time we will run each tourney to finals and then start killing each finals off Saturday and leave Sunday for a screw off, hang out day for those who wish and can attend.

The two-day event is really an insurance policy in case we have the blowout we are shooting for - we get 200/300 peeps in there Saturday we may be hard pressed to get it all done just that day. Especially considering how many of them are show-up-day-of-registrations :bgrin:

any way the fee can be removed or reduced for out of towners

especially if we have to pay for a hotel

i’m not trying to spend $100 just to go to this

especially since we’d be coming with a packed car

15

Awesome, I was waiting for this. This looks really freaking cool, robb. I’ll definitely be there. I’m gonna be practicing everyday for this. I got a question though. Are you still gonna have the similar stick setups you had last time?
