MOK is going to change things? Sorry if that’s the case. This is 4 months away. I figured from your talk if you were doing anything it’d be way sooner than that, so don’t let us stand in the way. 
Venue has been unresponsive as of late and it’s ticking me off. They originally wanted to do something around July but I figured that would be problamatic with UFGT and Evo so they agreed to reconsider the date. I know they’re booked at least until October so it might be a while until something happens, but knowing about this event might push things further since I don’t want to schedule anything that would conflict with another event (I actually envisioned this to be a replacement for Redemption since we haven’t had any other Des Moines events, that I know of anyway). I just know M.O.K. would get more attention around here since it will probably have E’s legacy to back it up and I’m just some guy who loves going to tournies when he gets the chance and this would be my first time trying to organize a big event. To top it off, I’m still waiting to hear if the general manager of the venue would approve of everything and I was told I would get a word on it sometime in May.
You know what’s really ticking me off about it all, once the end of July hits, it will have been a year since the venue asked if I wanted to do this. How long does the planning process usually take?
A day 
For a July tournament, I’d be more worried about Evo conflicting with the event. That’s why I wanted nothing to do with June, July, or August. All are way too close to Evo for comfort.
REMINDER: Monthly is this Saturday. Come one, come all! I wanna see the event keep growing and growing. 
Anyone want to get together on live tomorrow for some AE action? It would be awesome if we could get enough people to do some teams, I love teams. I can’t wait to divekick some peeps online!

Oh hey, a Wednesday event. I can actually attend that. Anything else happening midweek? I’m getting tired of playing against Fisher Price routers and combo dropping on my days off.
Who is going to Cedar Rapids this Saturday?
ugh — the new layout…
Vamp and I will be making it to CR on Saturday as usual. Hopefully I’ll have enough time with AE by then (By hopefully, I mean I get off my ass and start practicing).
DBQ MVC3 Weekly #10 Results:
1st - Alex (Mags/Tron/Doom)
2nd - M.C. (Ryu/Storm/Morrigan)
3rd - Olli (Wolvie/Zero/Task)
4th - Jackie (Shuma/Dante/Dorm)
5th - James (Deadpool/Sentinel/Skrull)
Equipment fund gained $6 to move up to $130. I’m positive we’ll have a shiny new Asus monitor by the end of the month.
Good shit Alex.
I won’t be at CR on Sat, forgot I had other plans already.
PROFOUND SADNESS.
…seriously. I’m quite sad about this. Was looking forward to playin’ ya.
Edit - Just ordered the Asus monitor.
Which reminds me, please bring your copy of AE. We have SF4, but not AE. We’re cheap as shit and don’t play that game, so… yeah.
Nice!
I’ll be going on Saturday (don’t know about Gary yet), and bringing a PS3 again (still sans-Jill). Might bring a tv too.
good job alex
If needed I can bring my xbox 360 with AE/MVC3 and my ASUS monitor. I don’t really understand why all these tourneys use PS3s. “Because EVO does” isn’t really a good reason to me. Shoutouts to PS3’s weird input lag and slowdown issues.
Thanks for the props, guys - my Mags is getting a little more annoying everyday hehe. (Tron and Doom TODs don’t hurt either)
@ jubatuba - I think the reason is because most people have ps2/ps3 sticks. PS has always had the fighting games, so fighting game players have always had PS joysticks/controllers. Xbox is relatively new to the fighting game genre imo, so most people probably just stick to the ps3 now.
…maybe?
Yeah, I have like 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000 sticks from everything system, but the most for ps systems. I have always played games on ps systems, and thats just how it has been. A lot of people who have been playing fighters forever, have also been playing on a PS pad or whatever incarnation of it as well, and well frankly, the 360 pad sucks balls.
