Hey, I'm pretty sure it's too late to throw out this idea, but...
for what used to be the WHOBO...
considering we lost the $1000 Nissan contract...
Houston could hold a charity tourney beforehand? :O

Think about it...
$10-15 bucks entry fee (ALL of it saved as pot money for WHOBO)
$5 for wherever we have it (if they aren't in the christmas spirit themselves...-_-)
$5 for singles and $5 per team (pot money), and heck maybe even a low tier.
Even though I'ts kind of expensive...
And even though ppl might have already gotten their refunds for their tickets...
As long as there was a GUARANTEE that ALL of the money going to the WHOBO pot would be saved for the WHOBO pot...
If we could get a large enough crowd to come and help us...
we might have enough (or maybe even more ? :O) than what we would have gotten from the Nissan contract. :D

Well, yea. If ne1 still wanted a WHOBO to happen, that's just my $.02 on what we should do. ;)

can u tell me how?
or could u get me a pass.
How what? How to sneak in? Walk in and don't pay. If security or anyone asks "where's your badge?" say, "I just got here and I'm looking for the registration table." Walk in the direction they point in, keep walking, walk past the reg table, keep walking, and, uh, boy, do I really need to explain how to "sneak in?" Really? Oh, Kown, you're adorable.
Oh! Unless you're talking about how I'd score in Japan if I was Capt. Falcon. Well, see, if I was Capt. Falcon, I'd walk into a bar in France, say "Yo soy - FALCON PUNCH!" and the shock wave would **** a loli in Japan. Because. That's just how it works. In Japan. It's like saying hello.

Dingding123: Yes, we could do that, except it's more about how PZ/John was going to screw us. That's the issue. We don't want to have anything to do with PZ anymore. So, no Whobo at AM. (There will still be a Brawl tourney at AM as I am under obligation to run the game room there, but no Hobo affiliation will happen and I'm breaking off ties with them after that.)

I knew about the sitch (well, sorta D: ur explanation sorted it out a little more for me, thx for that :p) Pity, I loved PZ :urg: but ah well ppl r like that.

The idea I brought up was just based upon if we could possibly have it elsewhere.

Heh. Adorable. No. No cops. Just what they call "con security" (who are volunteers with black shirts that say security on them with a need to compensate for a lack of Capt. Falcon in their pants). Reg is placed INSIDE the con and thus you have to go INTO the con to reg... Or go into the con and NOT reg, but pretend you might reg. Con security tries, but... Honestly, they are no match for a dead beat. The worse they can do is point in the direction of the reg desk or at worse escort you off the premises, in which case, you simply just walk back in. No harm no foul.
Now, sneaking into the game room is more of a challenge. 1. Just wait until the guy at the door is distracted, then walk in. 2. wait until the guy at the door leaves because he got boarded (you'd be surprised at how often this happens) then walk in, 3. if you're in a rush bribe the guy at the game room door with food - it works. 4. get someone on the inside to open a side door (there are like four of them), and 5. find me.
Heh.

Hey, guys. Regarding my smashfest on December 21.

Please confirm that your actually going. Louisiana is going to this thing, Louisiana's best. So I would like those of you who think they're better to come prove themselves. It will be on the 21st at my house in Beaumont. I know it's a long drive, but the list is actually getting pretty big. Last time we had 18 and it was amazing, this time i'm hoping for even more than that. I know I've been pretty rude on the boards lately, but I really would appreciate for you guys to come.

Please tell me if your gonna come or not, within the next couple of days, so I can prepare for a certain number, roughly.
