Ah, Ike...
Anyways. Got some news. It is good... I'm about 90% sure that Hobo 11 will be held in a bigger venue than PZ. More details on that next week when I get back from Colorado. (TGM, I talked to the agent, looked at properties, and it's looking good. Got two selected that have potential. I'm holding out until next week, in case I find something better. I should be able to get more concrete details after Ike stops F-smashing Houston). If it all pans out... Hobo 11 has the potential to be a two day event with pools and stuff (depends on if the Houston Smash community feel like it), but more on that later... TGM, I'll also send you more info, including the marketing campaign, on Whobo (cute name for the 2009 event, eh? The W stands for "World".... Ah, I love puns, heh) when I get back on Monday.
Long story short, if you guys thought Hobo 10 was cool, wait till you see what's in store...
M2K, et al. It'd be awesome if you attend. We got you covered once you get here, but you got to get here on your own, you know. The cheapest plane tickets I found were $238 (plus $46 for taxes) for a ROUND trip. That's not that much money really. Go to
www.cheaptickets.com to see them. Hope this helps maybe. I'm sorry you got burned at CH4, but WE always deliver prize money, so no worries there.
Oh, Pimpslap, no, you told me the name Legendary at the tourney, then I repeated it in a questioning way, like, "Legendary Pimp?" because I wanted to make sure that's what you had said (because I knew that wasn't what you normally go as) and you said, "Sure, whatever." Then I shrugged and said, "OK, you're Legendary Pimp now," and typed it into Tio. You never told me any other name before that, or tried to change it, in fact you agreed. I didn't force anything onto you so please don't say I did. But it's OK, it got fixed and I'll just give you and the real LegendaryPimp both a sprite or something at the next Hobo so there won't be any bad miasma between any of us three, cool? .... Then I'll secretly give you the hardest bracket of your life! Naw, I'm kidding! Heh. You know I think you're groovy. *wink*
