HOBO 38+ComicPalooza
* to enhance your reading experience, listen to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWkej-0RaDk while viewing the thread *​



Comicpalooza's mission is to be the best and biggest annual multi-format pop culture convention in the southwest region of the United States, serving not only the fans of comics, science fiction, fantasy, video and table top gaming, anime, music and film, but also as a trade show and showcase for the studios, publishers, and manufacturers in those industries. This year, they are trying to expand/branch out to the video gaming community here in Houston and have asked me to run a smash event at their facility. ComicPalooza has also offered GUARANTEED 1000$(cash) as a pot bonus for this event AND an extra 500$ pot bonus if pre-reg numbers are high(how "high?" i do not know yet).

yes. everybody pays into the amature bracket but only the people who die in the pool will be able to try and claim it.

Even large buildings have small uncomfortable rooms for events they don't care about.
Well that sounds just GRAND!

2 big events in a little over 3 months. Should be exciting regardless.

I guess you never went to WHOBO 1 or 2 or George R Brown convention center. Holy **** man, you NEVER stop complaining.

I know this event is short notice but they offered me 1k in pot bonus so i either had to pass it up and focus on whobo or take on this event and have it help feed whobo. Either way BOTH events will have a huge pot bonus

I'm not complaining, I'm inquiring so I'm prepared for whatever conditions will be like. I can link you to some of my complaining after tournaments if you like. I'm actually trying to avoid complaining here.

Lol, that 2nd room looks far too godly for any Smash event. I wouldn't wanna get tired just walking to my next match.

That first room looks pretty awesome, especially if you can make use of those big screens for brackets and important matches.

One last question for now. Can you find out exactly when the venue fee goes up? I figure the deadlines be pretty quick and I also see the site mentions "no refunds" so I wanna know if I need to buy before a certain date to save myself 15 dollars.

Rule of thumb=BUY NOW.

Ill try and find out when the prices go up but its safe to assume it goes up by about 5 dollars each month.

It's a con, I have no control over pot bonus/venue fee.

The venue fee for this is actually low. Remember whobo 1/2/3 fee? 55$.

This was an event with pretty much free 1k bonus. I couldn't pass this up.
