So.... I've watched that 5 times before it was posted here and watched it 20 more times just now. It only gets funnier if you imagine the Ike as Buzz Lightyear.

Just had NO IDEA, it was LF Game 5! It's much better now... Is it a tendency for Marth mains to get ***** so badly?

Craigslist has about 20 ppl right now selling cheap crt tv's for $10-50.

How does SA feel about me hosting house tournies, with half/most/all of the entry going towards cheap tv's for sale? I have the space to store them.

Actually, check out this sweet deal: http://sanantonio.craigslist.org/ele/2615723957.html

Hotel Room 27" TV's - $20 (Hilton Garden Inn) said:
We are selling our old guest room TV's. They are 27" Philips tube tv's. They do not come with remote controls. The price is $20 (cash only) and we have 100 of them for sale. Buy as many as you want. Stop by the hotel between 9-5pm Sun-Tues the 27th. They are as is, no returns, and you must load them yourself. The hotel address is 12828 San Pedro Ave, San Antonio, 78216. We are by the airport. Thank you.
This is a steal. If we're doing something today, we could do a money collection and buy as much as we want.

I can't do much today, Nike. Family's got me bogged down.
But if we do anything, I'll see what I can do.

Slush, you missed the glory that happened last night.

I know you guys are super enthused about the idea.
Just got back from the hotel.
They had about 50ish tv's. However, only 3 of them were standard.
The rest were widescreen, like the TV Sync has in the living room of his dorm.

I bought the 3 standard tv's and there at my house now.

More TVs and a donation-type(?) tournament that goes towards TV set ups? Sounds solid.

=

Bad things happened yesterday, good things came out of most of it.
Last game, I think we could've had it if Prime's champ could move in the beginning

Was too busy smurfing, Do explain. And PLEASE, something this week, Even if I was forced out of the house yesterday, I still would rather do something instead of playing LoL on my laptop in Gamelot.
Oh right, I still can't sleep for some reason. I tried so many times last night.

Did you even check if you can get to the video channel on those tvs since they dont have remotes?

I dont want one by the way, I need hd tv gaming monitors.

That sounds like a great idea. However, how would you feel about hosting $5 monthlies at your place as well? :)

If Nike needs a remote, I can give him a universal remote that I have. Shouldn't be a problem getting the TVs to work after that.

OK, guys. I've been thinking of doing this for a while, and I'd like everyone's feedback on this. No trolling, please.

The Pitch:
As soon as I finish the work in my room, I am considering opening it and possibly (in the future) the rest of my house downstairs for monthlies. They wouldn't be as big as HOBOs, but enough to perpetuate a continous active scene in SA for everyone (who attends) to improve. Think of them like Batou's monthlies & Sync's Sex Saloon. $5 for singles w/a redemption bracket and/or doubles. I'd also try to keep them on Saturdays mostly.

I've gotten rid of a lot of furniture since the last time anyone has been there, so room has exponentially increased. Aside from my full setup, I have 2 wide tables capable of fitting 2 non-HDTVs atop of them, 2 dressers that can fit 1 TV atop each, and plenty of outlets & powerstrips.

I wouldn't be able to supply anything for food right away, but I can provide ice chests for drinks. It's not like there isn't any resturaunts close by though. Maybe we'd all be able to pitch in for pizza or something.

If things went well, we could possibly extend the space outside of my room into the living room, where there is much more space.

The Pros:
  • Solid venue for monthlies.
  • Relatively close to everyone.
  • Little to no rules (time length, loudness, etc.).
The Cons:
  • Limited space.
  • Lack of chairs.
  • Possibility of tourneys not being on Saturdays.
If anything, we could start here and once we've found a suitable venue, we could shift to there. I'm working on getting something going here @ Vista, but I haven't gotten to it yet. I'll be asking around this Wednesday.

Again, I'd like feedback (good and bad) from almost everyone. Thanks.
