There is a kid that moved here from Russia like 4 years ago in my school. But nah, not too many russian people. My middle school taught Russian though for whatever reason.

And I'm gonna have to agree with Jason (Xanskar) here, Alaska does suck.

Although we would love to have more smash players so if you have other specific reasons go ahead.

Except we still pay all the money we would normally pay in sales tax on other taxes, and most of our prices are higher because of larger shipping costs. $6 footlong -_-


EDIT: Good Luck with whatever it is you are doing Levon. Have fun.

EDIT2: I post comics with Batman in them to show them to James, basically.

Hawaii: 188.6 People per square Mile
Alaska: 1.03 People per square Mile

And we have half the total population........


Not to mention that being next to the pacific ocean is probably less in the middle of nowhere than next to Canada.......

note that alaska is composed of several hundred square miles, and HI has barely a few...

but still, our population pales in comparison to HI, and even canada.

So as many of you know, Saturday is my last day working for Play N Trade. I told them I'd still like to run smash tournaments over the summer, but judging from how many arms and legs I usually have to pull to get one going, it's pretty doubtful. Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to look into some cool venues that don't cost a lot, and we can have "HP bar ****" there too to make up the cost.

I was actually looking at some of the 2nd floor rooms at the Denaina Center not too long ago. They looked like just about the right size. The 3rd floor room could host a Genesis-sized tournament, it's huuuuuuuuge. Butyah, the specs on the 2nd floor rooms I was looking at are as follows:

1,746 square feet of floorspace to accomodate:

* Banquet: 80 - 96 attendees
* Classroom: 80 seats
* Theater: 173 seats

From $499 / day*

Engineering Details

* Floors: wall-to-wall carpet
* Walls: fixed walls painted; sound-dampening Airwalls between rooms 1-2.
* Ceiling: finished, height 13.6'
* Lighting: incandescent; spot
* Speakers: JBL
* Internet: wired fiber-optic and Cat. 5; 802.11g throughout
* Power: ample wall outlets 60Hz 110/220V and phone/data ports


Just something I was looking at...

I have a feeling that Yakov jokes will increase exponentially in greatness if Cash moves here.


Oh and In the last like......two weeks I've had a surge of activity in my smash club at school, I'm going to have people give me their E-mails so I can inform them of tournaments. Also I might host some fests. They are all even worse than I am but at least two (if not 4 or 5) of them have definite potential.

Hmm, I think that'd be pretty interesting too..


And as far as free venues go, It's a nice contribution by you Mike. However, a venue like that conference room in the Student Union is more suited towards more casual, smashfest-esque events. For a larger event that includes tournaments for a variety of games as well as a casual area would require a much larger setting.

In the past, I've seen few such events that took place in venues such as the Egan Center, the Sports Complex out at Kincaid, the Marriott and the Seattle Center. Don't get me wrong, a gathering of the smash community at your house for smash and a barbecue in your backyard or something would be absolutely great. (I'm actually kinda bummed that I might miss out on such events this summer.) However, a larger event that would include multiple games and people outside of out tight-knit community would be alot of trouble for you to hold at your own home. Might be quite the inconvenience with others residing there too.

Just saying, free venues are great to have as an option. However, we might be dealing with something that is beyond the scope of that.
