Thanks Jeff 
And thank you to everyone who came out today and supported this event. I’m not sure if a lot of you guys realized this, but this was my first time as a head organizer of a tournament and I really couldn’t have done it without the assistance of the NorCal community. From Haunts, Erich and Darry holding down the stream to Anthony, Ann and Terry taking control of the bracket situation, along with Joe and Albert being gracious enough to supply the monitors… Seriously, I don’t know what I’d do without all you guys lending a hand and I appreciate it all very much.
Also, a great big thank you to the staff at the Etrium, especially Terrico and Rob for being so incredibly gracious throughout the entire process. We had 13 days to put on this event and it’s almost hard to believe we pulled it off. The Etrium is a great venue and the staff treated us extremely well. I felt like I was in Bizzaroworld as I was working alongside a group of people who were actually EXCITED about hosting a fighting game tournament, as opposed to being treated like a video gaming hooligan out to torch the place as I’ve experienced at other venues. They brought us drinks, they brought in pizza… they had a legitimate tech guy to help us out, pulled in their own sponsor… from an organizer standpoint, it was a great experience and I hope you guys will continue to check it out in the future.
Speaking of the organizer standpoint … I have a lot of learning to do and should I be placed in this position again, I’ll definitely be taking the lessons learned here. I’ll be chatting with some of you folks in the future regarding feedback but while everything went relatively smooth, I can’t pretend like it was perfect either. But you guys know me, I’m sort of a freak like that… ask Haunts 
I’ll be putting up a post on iPW soon but the charity overview is this… collectively, from the NorCal and SoCal events, Brokentier promotion and online donations, we raised over $30,000 for aid relief in Japan. That is so far beyond my expectations that it’s difficult for me to find the words to express how incredibly ridiculous and amazing that is. The gold TE went to a person who donated $2k in one shot. It’s easy to lose sight of what this was all about amongst all the hype but in the end, this is really why we were all here and we came BIG. Thank you to everyone who came and supported our Fight for Japan and chipped in. Every dollar helped and this was truly a gargantuan effort.
Again, thank you all very much for coming. It was more than worth all the sleepless nights and endless skype calls to get it all done
