Now, I think it's time to give some shoutouts to people:
First I want to thank every one of you who made it out - we actually had a total of 110 unique entrants this weekend! Also, thanks to everyone who brought a setup for any game; we definitely couldn't have done it without you guys! (Shoutouts to CACAW gaming as well, and especially their power strips!)
Next, I want to thank G~Man, Zeno, Filthy StarFox Furry, and Zheira for being a HUGE help running things this weekend! (And thank you to everyone else who helped out as well; there were too many people to count!)
DJTHED (now Leafeon) and MOOSe did a great job running the stream(s) on Saturday as well; thanks for that!
Also, thanks to the Wild Things Games owners for letting us host this event this weekend!
And one last shoutout, to everyone who went and did their matches when they were called; we definitely couldn't have finished all (except 1; RIP Brawl Doubles) 8 brackets we ran this weekend without you guys doing that; thanks!
And finally, for the future:
I've had a lot of people asking when we'll be able to do something like this again; for right now, the answer is "I really don't know".
Wild Things Gaming, assuming they're interested in having us back (I'm not 100% sure as I haven't talked to them yet), is almost always busy on weekends - we actually got the only open weekend in the last couple of months due to dumb luck (but, as they say, We Take Those).
So the venue hunt will continue, but if nothing else know that it's something those of us here in Salem are definitely looking into - hopefully we'll have some info for you guys in the next month or so!
In the meantime, we'll be continuing our Salem Smashfests weeklies (which, if you haven't checked out, you definitely should)!
As for the Salem Smashfests shirts, we got a lot of people asking where they could buy those as well - right now they aren't for sale, but if we can get some sort of idea of how many people would be interested in buying them for say, $20(-$25 if needed) then we'll work on making that a reality!
It really needs to be said one more time: thanks to EVERYONE who made it out this weekend; it was a huge success, and we hope to see you again in the future!
