Greetings all,

Many moons ago I ran a tournament series called INNsomnia (click for INN V results: http://smashboards.com/threads/innsomnia-v-3-30-31-results-and-shoutouts.100664/) which was a lot of fun and got a little attention (including an invite on 2 separate occasions to join MLG's original grassroots circuits based on the growth and potential they saw, but that's another story), but unfortunately real life took over and ultimately I retired. Due to life calming down, cohosting a small local tournament "for grins", and having finally watched the Smash Brothers documentary, I can't help but want to have one last hurrah.

I'm just throwing this out as a feeler to get some feedback regarding interest from the community. Due to school and work going crazy I won't be able to do it until I graduate which looks to be end of June if I play my cards right, so I'm thinking tourney around early August? It would be held in the Memphis, TN area but maybe not at our standard venue due to A. the location being closed now (the pizza restaurant/namesake of the series), and B. stupid interstate construction - but I think that's all semantics that need to be settled later anyway depending on potential size. I welcome both new generation and old school/grandpas to toss a note. I'm thinking Melee and PM for sure, maybe brawl (depending on bribery interest)

-Edit-
To clarify, INN VI will be happening for sure. I just wanted to throw this up to see if I needed to plan things on a local or national scale in terms of venue, etc. :)

Haven't been on here in ages, but I support this endeavor 150%
INNsomnia VI would be the greatest thing on this planet. Even better than a cure for AIDS.

I can't believe I never went to these back in the day. I would have to be here, and maybe do a cook-off thing (Grill some food for the smashers and such, maybe venue fee pays for the food?) and I know of a good venue or two as well. Keep me in touch Prince Zane my good sir.

So I decided that if I want to participate in the tournament, then I will do openers for food. Especially if it's a multi-day affair. Here's the menu I came up with (note that this will only be once a day I feed you guys!!!!)

First Day - Grilled bacon wrapped hot dogs with a plethora of toppings and Chips with salsa. Veggie kabob for those who don't prefer meat.

Second Day - Stacked sandwiches with a variety of toppers. Pita veggie pockets with tzatziki sauce for the veggie lovers.

If there is a third day - Chicken tacos with pico de gallo, avocados and sour cream with roasted corn. Roasted pepper tacos for vegetarians.


Let me know what you guys think, all this stuff is easy for me to make but I am open to suggestions. KO, I will gladly accept your help, most of it will be prep and distribution to the players. Share this with everyone so I can get a good count and make this the best experience possible.

Dude, a huge tournament in Memphis? I'm totally game! If need be, I could bring a GameCube, the game, and some extra controllers with me.

It would be unlikely that I can attend.

However, I have always always wanted to attend one of the INNsomnia tournaments.

If they're starting up again, and I can go, I will.
