Introduction
In the past, we've hosted many Melee (and other) events at Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema in Greensboro, North Carolina. Typically, for Melee, there are around 40-50 entrants. Individuals of all skill levels come to participate, many of the for the first time; and so far I have never had a dissatisfied customer. So if you live in the NC area and are interested in joining the community, come on out!
Some things about the venue:
Geeksboro Coffeehouse Cinema, located at 2134 Lawndale Drive, Greensboro, NC, is as you might guess a coffee parlor. The venue owner is interested in showcasing and providing a space for gaming communities in order to show off the positive power of gaming. As we all know, the Smash community is much like a family for all its members. So you might say that this venue is perfect for us. But how about some concrete details about the place?
- 8 TVs already at the venue and available for us to use, meaning we can support up to 40-50 players on their equipment alone provided people bring systems.
- A HUGE amount of floor space
- Delicious beverages available for purchase
- Food nearby, including Chipotle very close by
- Did I mention delicious beverages available for purchase?
- Open until 2 a.m. on Saturdays
- Accessible by GTA, fairly close to highway
If you have any doubts still about this place, have no fear! Pictures will be on their way soon. Lauren and I simply forgot to take some when we went to check it out.
