For the badge thing....
So I'm going to have the UT smash club "sponsor" Smash Bros. Basically it's because getting my hands on a hefty amount of CRTs is a pain in the butt, as well as wii's.
So if you guys can bring a full setup, I'll let you in the game room, but that's as far as I will go. Or if it's say Mike with a TV and Polt with a Wii. I would like you to bring as much as possible, for the major duration of the day.
If you want to check out the rest of the con (panels, dealer rooms, concerts, etc) you will have to buy a badge. I'm not going to be able to give a badge out for every joe with a setup.
