Pakman's Parking Post

Parking in Philadelphia can be tough, but with the right information you'll know where to go right away!

All information in this post is courtesy of Pakman from the Clash of the Titans III thread.

The tourney is (one building in from) on the corner of 32nd and Chestnut.

All parking zones are checked by the Philadelphia Parking Authority on Saturday. Only a few meters farther on campus are checked on Sunday. The signs at these places will say "Except Sunday" at the bottom so make sure it does.

Looking for free parking...

This is the street order in this area of Philadelphia. You will likely know where Market street is, it's the biggest street in the area and almost any set of directions should lead you here.

Going North...
Market > Arch > Race > Powelton > Baring > Hamilton > Spring Garden
Additionally, Lancaster Ave cuts through (North West to South East) these streets diagonally.
(Chestnut is one block south of Market)

Most of these spaces will be occupied, but there is a better chance of finding one on Saturday.

• Powelton between 36th down to 31st is free on both sides.
• Race between 32nd and 34th is free.
• Arch between 33rd and 34th is free.
• Baring between 35th and 36th and 31st and 32nd is free.
• Hamilton between 31st and 33rd is free.
• 33rd from Arch to Baring is free.
• 34th street is free before Arch. (its a one way going towards market.)
• Half of Lancaster between 34th and 35th is free.
• 32nd is free between Powelton and Baring.
• 31st is free. (Powelton curves into 31st).

*Chibo Note* In the original Pakman's Parking Post, it doesn't mention anything about Baring between 32nd and 33rd streets. I'm almost certain this is free, and has open spots almost ALL THE TIME. Conveniently, it's also right where I live. I've had friends park there overnight with no problems before. I'll still look into it.
Update - Pakman says it's 2 hour parking.

Aside from this there is plenty of two hour parking. Two hour parking becomes free after 5, 6:30 or 8 depending on the parking zone.

*Pakman Note* Cactuar lives on 42nd and powelton where there is always parking. I can pick up 1 or 2 people from his place, but I will be unable to take them back so they may have to find a ride or walk.
I have been at Drexel for 5 years I know where to park. Call me 484-437-5333.
If you want to park in the two hour zones you should have Chibo open up Outlook and set a reminder for your car on outlook's calendar. Does Thunderbird have a good calendar thingy?


GOTM said he will soon get a map of the area and color code it with parking which I will post here when he makes it.

CoT4 Housing Post

There's no doubt that there will be people traveling to this tourney from OOS and with it being a 2 day tourney, many will need housing. Luckily, PA is home to tons of awesome smashers who probably wouldn't mind you staying with them!

This is a list of all potential housers (I have not contacted them yet, I'm just assuming they wouldn't mind). If I have you listed as a houser, please post saying that you don't mind, or would like to be removed from the list.

All information for UnConfirmed housers are estimates by myself.

ChiboSempai
Status: Confirmed
Distance From Venue: Walking Distance
Amount of people that can be housed: Either like 3 or 8
Notes: I have a roommate, so if he's there that weekend I can only house a few people. If he's not, I don't care how many people stay so I'll go with 8 lol.

Bnzaaa
Status: Confirmed
Distance From Venue: Short Subway Ride
Amount of people that can be housed: 3
Notes: A few other people can be housed with other people at his school.

TheUltimoDragon
Status: Confirmed

Amount of people that can be housed: ?
Notes: As long as you don't mind sleeping with a large black man. lol jk he's cool.

Ebo!
Status: Confirmed
Distance From Venue: Short drive or train ride
Amount of people that can be housed: 3-4?
Notes: If driving, a small toll is needed to cross the bridge or the train costs a little. It's not bad.

Sadaharu Inui
Status: Confirmed
Distance From Venue: 1 Hour Drive
Amount of people that can be housed: As much that can fit in 2 hotel rooms
Notes: Inui needs a list of people staying there before the tourney.

GOTM
Status: UnConfirmed

Amount of people that can be housed: 3-4?
Notes: Is a Melee smasher, will most likely not play Brawl with you for practice lol.

Scar
Status: Confirmed

shinobiknight0
Status: Confirmed
Distance From Venue: Short train ride
Amount of people that can be housed: 1-2
Notes: Train from Philly to Cherry Hill ~20 minutes, cost is minimal.


Those are the main people that live right around Philly. There are also a ton of smashers that are kind of close that live outside of Philly or in parts of NJ which is within an hour drive.

IF YOU NEED HOUSING
Please pre-register and check off that you need housing.

 

[JFox]

im an idiot. ignore my post. lol

 

[Cactuar]

Yeah no I'm not housing people for brawl.

 

[Tbagz]

can anyone house me and 3 other crew members?

ill pay 20$ for you to house us. (thats all my spare money most likely =()

just need a place to sleep, will supply own food and drinks, etc. lol

 

[CT Chia]

k i added u to the smashers who need housing.

atleast for me, my priority for housing ppl depends on how far ur traveling from. $ is always nice though haha

thx alpha (assuming it was u) for the sticky

lol at jfox linking to the post before his. i think an up arrow would have also worked lol

edit: just so ppl get an idea about final confirmation of the venue and what not. i have already spoke to drexel about this event however i can not guarantee the venue for the date until december 15th (which is why i said the date might change by a week or so). however, im currently looking into finding an even BIGGER venue on campus, and the ability to confirm the date sooner.

 

[12 Pack]

I am defintely going to this.

 

[Xzax Kasrani]

ill be there(hopefully)

 

[Pakman]

Baring between 32nd and 33rd is two hour parking.

 

[CT Chia]

Big Update!

TOURNEY DATE IS CHANGED EVERYONE!

This tourney will now take place on February 7th and 8th. The date is confirmed NOW! No more changing of the date.

We also got a new venue! It's just a couple blocks away from the last venue, and it's AMAZING! I'm going to go see if I can get pictures later today. It will be at Drexel's Behrakis Grand Hall. Anyone from Drexel knows this venue is where it's at!

This tourney just got a whole lot better!

 

[Mew2King]

This is 2 days after my birthday!!!

I expect gifts!!!

only cuz I had 500-1000 dollars worth of stuff stolen summer of 2007 last year -_-. Most of that was birthday money I had stached away in my room, other was tons of video games. It was just before the day of FCD.

thursday/friday? I am gonna have to skip many classes . is it cool if I come like the night before too (I don't care if I have to sleep in the bathtub) so I can get some offline practice

otherwise I won't even make it out of pools

 

[Rocann]

and m2k, every tournament you go to is basically like everybody giving you a gift of like 6 bucks

 

[CT Chia]

lol andy, thur fri is feb 7 8 of 2008 lol. this is 2009. its sat sun

lol at m2k

i couldnt get into the venue tonight to get pics cause it was locked. but u can see a small pic in the link on the address on the first post. lets put it this way, drexel's website says it can host events for up to 1200 ppl. its big. lol

i might have to increase the venue fee however from 5 to 10 because of the increase in venue. i should know by the end of the day. if i do, then a smaller percent will be taken out of the singles pot. (like 5% or something instead of 10%, or maybe nothing at all)

 

[Max Ketchum]

I'll be here.

 

[Palpi]

Palpi. Will. Be. There.

Omg doom. No offense, I wish 34 hit you with that falcon punch

 

[Max Ketchum]

XD That would have been amazing, no lie.

 

[noodles]

chibo think youd be able to house me and possibly 2-3 others?

 

[CT Chia]

im sure someone will, il add ya to the list. who would ya be bringin ya think?

 

[Bnzaaa]

Due to the change in date, I will not need housing anymore. This also means that I can technically house up to 3 people. I know of a few other people that can probably offer housing as well.

I can bring up to 5 people from my school to this. I have to discuss it with them first.

 

[WarmSoda]

I'm going.

I'll do what I can to convince SWR to tag along, nothing guaranteed. (If they haven't agreed to already. Didn't scan the whole thread)

 

[blakinola]

Ya, that.

Hmmm.

Just got off the phone with two tri-state area crews that would love to come along.

I'm pleased with the advanced date, by the way. Plenty of time to get things organized and scheduled. Much love from Jersey and New York.

 

[CT Chia]

Ok everyone, pre registration is open! Follow the link on the first post

It costs no money, but simply helps me gather information about everyone so it's easier to sign everyone up and keep track of whos coming

[The Phazon Assassin]

*Note 1: This venue is amazing. I will try to get pictures soon.
*Note 2: As soon as you enter through the main doors and see the info desk, hang a left

THE VENUE IS AMAZING It's in the Behrakis Grand Hall. Go in the main doors of the student center and it's to your right. You can't miss it.

Make up your mind, dude, is it to the left, or right?

 

[CT Chia]

I'm in. So is the rest of Canada

awesome, who is coming from canada with u?

Make up your mind, dude, is it to the left, or right?

haha whoops, its to ur left. but yea, its really hard to miss

 

[Hylian]

I will attend if the IC's rule is removed, or at least explained better. IC's have so many chaingrabs I really doubt people will be able to differentiate which ones are legal and which ones are not. Very confusing.
