This will be the first of (hopefully) many monthlies at Blu Planet Comics and Games. The venue is located in south shore long island very close to the Sunrise Mall.

It is a good halfway point between western and eastern long island. It is also within walking distance from the Amityville Train station, which is on the Babylon Line of the Long Island Rail Road.

Other Details
The house is willing to provide sticks (owner said he would try to get Madcatz TE sticks), but until I get more details and confirmation, it will be Bring Your Own Controller or use house controllers. Borrow from/lend out controllers/sticks at your own risk.

There is a Five Guys and a very good pizza place adjacent to the shop. There are even more (cheap and quality) food places within walking distance. (I’d say check out Blue T’s Pizza, or All-American Burgers, which is a little farther west, but worth the quick trip).

The shop is great, and the owner is a solid guy. Hopefully we can revive and build up the community in the same area that once housed Galaxy and Time Out.

5

Almost positive ill be there

Just spoke to the owner of the venue. There are three monitors, one is a large LCD screen. I have not played on that one yet to determine any lag.

The venue will provide three xbox 360s.

Also, the downloadable characters that were just released will not be available for this tournament. They will probably be available for future ones, but because they were just released, the owner said he would not run Jill or Shuma Gorath.

oh man, sorry I missed this. I have tried talking to him about it, and he seemed like he wanted uniform 360s, but I will bring my ps3 and try to push this issue. Joe, if you are reading this, the people want some PS3 love! You do have to understand that having mixed consoles might impede on the flow of the tourn though.

If anything, I’ll have it there to possibly run some SFIV casuals or something. Now, if anyone can lug an extra TV…

12

I’ll bring an extra CRT and 360 setup.
