I've contacted Myung and saved the date. Let's get AS MUCH of the Cali scene as possible to go to this.

WHEN:
January 23rd, 2016
Event starts at 6pm
People can probably start coming up on friday if they want.

WHERE:
The NEW Gamecenter Location, which I can't post the address of. But we'll get you there. It's located in Belmont, CA so about 10 minutes north of the old place in San Carlos.

The plan is for people to come up on Friday, spend the night at beamsprouts place, come with us to the tournament saturday, then leave whenever they want on Sunday.

WHERE CAN I STAY IF I'M FROM NOT NORCAL?
Answer: Probably Beamsprouts' place! As long as you're a cool / nice guy and you don't smell, you are more than welcome to crash at his place. But you must contact us ahead of time so we can make arrangements. His place is pretty nice, there's plenty of space, and I live less than 5 minutes away from him so I will be available to hang out at most times. His parents / brother are there but they're cool. Again you're probably fine (especially if I talked to you about this event before hand). Bring a pillow if you can because you'll probably be on the floor.

Activities when not at the tournament venue will include:
- SG / Guilty Gear casuals
- Mario Kart / Mario Party / Kirby Air Ride?
- Boba Tea
- Eating burgers

So it's pretty much a weekend for you to hang out at Beamsprouts' place then have an SG tournament on saturday.

LIST OF POSSIBLE ATTENDEES:
  • Beamsprouts
  • Biz Casual
  • AsgoreDolfinh
  • fastturtle
  • clawmaster
  • Midiman
  • Devita
  • Fosh
  • Negus Eyoel
  • WingZero
  • Stuff
  • Verdant
  • POS Industries
  • Bang Camaro
  • Talbic

Everyone from NorCal, CenCal, SoCal, and whoever else wants to show up is invited!


HOW DO I CONTACT YOU IF I WANT TO GO?
DM me and/or beamsprouts on Twitter (@DolfinhPa and @Beamsprouts) so we can work things out. If I already talked to you about attending beforehand you don't need to do this.

EVENT NOTICE:
Due to a longtime history of aggression and harassment, Dustin Joseph Azure aka "DJ Azure" is banned from both competing at the event and staying at Beamsprouts' place.

Going to go ahead and post here so I make sure to get updates about the event.
 
Very interested! Hopefully I find some employment between now and then so I can have money to do this x.x.

Are SoCal folks roadtripping up for this? Because, if so, I'm down to go.

I will gladly give whoever wants to drive gas money. My car isn't suited to drive that far.

Everything is going to be in a crunch for me time wise for the next couple of months while I move, but hopefully everything is settled enough for me to go by the time this rolls around. I need to play offline again qq

Seeing as I'm in NorCal most of the time, I'm interested in attending. Hopefully some of the Salty people can vouch for me in regards to approval.

You're in bud.

Where in NorCal are you normally?
Like it says to the left, I'm in Santa Cruz. I would make it to the next battle opera, but that's during thanksgiving weekend and I'm down with my family in SoCal.
Can and will vouch for Talbic!
Thanks Weatherbee!
 
I won't be here this week either or for a while really. I'm not spending more money until I work again.
 
This event will have free pizza before at the sleepover :p provide by me from round table pizza
What WHAT SERIOUSLY SOMEONE EMPLOY ME FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I WANT THIS

If anyone from SoCal is having trouble finding cheap transportation, check Megabus. I'm from NorCal but go to school in Anaheim and I'm paying $3.50($1 each way + $1.50 booking fee) for a round trip to attend (22nd and 24th of Jan, from Anaheim to SF). I checked the pricing from LA to SF and you'll probably end up paying about $50-80, but I just wanted to mention this. The most it will cost is $80 but sometimes tickets cost $1-5 if you're lucky.

Gonna look to hit up this now. Will update when I know my work schedule/if I get the time-off approved
 
Hm.

I have 20 hours of annual leave.

I get one hour for every 10 that I work.

That's about 4 hours a week, or 16 a month.

One day off is 8 hours of annual leave.

...

So if I go to this, will I have enough annual leave for Combo Breaker?
 
Can someone give me a ride over to in Cupertino? I think I can stay in Beamsprouts' place.
Going to be completely honest that you don't put forward the kindest face online, I'm hesitant to let you stay over. I'll talk with Beamsprouts.
 
I miiiiiiiight not be able to afford to go, depending on how much I have to pitch in for gas money/will I even be able to afford to eat by then.

So yeah just keep me in that "maybe" column.
 
Is there still time to squeeze me in maybe?

Still gotta apply for time off from work and stuff.
 
Alright Guys, we Need to cut this off. We're completely out of space:

We have space for the following people ONLY:

@Devita
@Weatherbee
@Midiman
@Mike_Z
@BANG!
@RedWitch
@Some Person
@WingZero
@Fosh
@Negus Eyoel

Fitting anyone else is going to be mad hard. We're already pushing the space limit on his place with people on the floor and all.

Just a couple more rules:

After 1AM, noise needs to be taken down several notches. His parents are being really nice by letting ya'll stay there, so let's keep noise to a minimum so they don't have to die.

No Drugs / Drinking please.

Fosh and Wing called dibs on the bed, theres some couch spaces and stuff already though.
 
By the way since Frosty Faustings is happening that weekend we can watch the stream together! That's always fun. Pizza stream monster party!
Skype with me while I'm on commentary and I'll show you yourselves on stream.

Questions:

1. Is this a free-roll SG event? Or entry plus + payout? (If it's invite only, can I be invited?)

2. Closest airport?

3. Is it at a house?

4. Is there an address someone can PM me if I'm coming with a group and we want to stay at a nearby hotel?

5. Will it be streamed?

6. Is your spoiler tag in original post serious?

@Dolfinh , Thanks!


EDIT: Just saw post #34. Skip anaswering questions 1-4

atm plan is free entry because we're poverty

closest airport to sprouts' house is San Jose airport. Closest airport to the venue is San Carlos airport I think
