Police think they can see me lean

When you see me ride by they can see the glean
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
Ride with a new chick, she like hold up
Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola
Turn a jacker into a coma
Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone
Just tryin to bone ain't tryin to have no babies
Rock clean itself so I pull in ladies
Laws of patrolling you know they hate me
Music turned all the way up until the maximum
I can speak for some *****s tryin to jack for some
But we packin somethin that we have and um will have a ***** locked up in the maximum
Security cell, I'm grippin oak
Music loud and tippin slow
Twist and twistin like hit this dough
Pull up from behind and is in his throat
Windows down gotta stop pollution
CDs change *****s like who is that producing?
This the Play-N-Skillz when we out and cruisin
Got warrants in every city except Houston but I'm still ain't losin

Roll a ***** tree, green leaves and all
Comin pretty deep, me and my do-jo

Wanted by the six pound and I got heat glock glock shots to the block we creep creep
Pop Pop hope cops don't see me, on a low key
With no regards for the law we dodge em like **** em all
But I won't get caught up and brought up on charges for none of y'all
Keep a gun in car, and a blunt to spark, but well if you want, ***** you poppin dark
Ready or not we bust shots off in the air Krayzie Bone and Chamillionaire

You can't arrest me plus you can't sue
This a message to the laws tellin them WE HATE YOU
I can't be touched or tell 'em that they shoulda known
Tippin' down, sittin' crooked on my chrome

I like the Weird Al version of that song (White and Nerdy) hehe. You're sure you can't go to Phase 7, Kal?

Sure Austin, I'll take you as long as you promise to beat Darkrain. :) Where do you live?

So, is anybody besides Edgar, Matt, and Austin riding with me? There's one more open seat. Maybe Mitchell or Albert?

I plan to leave Austin early Saturday morning around 7am to arrive in Dallas around the time the doors open (it's almost a 4 hr drive). We'll leave that night, probly around 8pm like I did at Phase 6.

I have no money and I caught a pretty nasty cold on Wednesday which I haven't recovered from. I don't think I'll be well by tomorrow. :(

Sorry Clay.

It will be a long day so if you're not feeling well, it is wise not to go. It's like how I didn't go to the last Final Smash since I was recovering from wisdom teeth removal surgery. Showed I could still make wise decisions after losing my wisdom teeth, teehee.

Are we wearing red again?
YES. That way they'll know who the Austin ppl are, i.e. who to be afraid of, haha.

As far as gas money is concerned, I calculated that total cost for gas for the trip there and back will probably be a bit more than $55. So, I would ask that everybody pitch in $10.

So, I'm not picking up anybody besides Edgar, Matt, and Austin? The rough plan is Matt and I will load a setup or two around 6:45am, then come pick up Edgar around 7am, then pick up Austin around 7:40am. From there, it's a 3.5 hr drive so we should get there a little after 11am.

I wish I wasn't sick. This is my little brother's fault. He will literally just sneeze on you when he's sick and act like it's some sort of unavoidable accident. I have the same throat sickness he had a week ago. >_>

Good luck to everybody there.

I'm interested in checking this club out. Still planning to have the Brawl singles tournament on April 3? I would most likely show up to that. Haven't played Brawl competitively in a long while, and I was never that great in the first place, but meeting fellow smashers here at UT would be fun.

Hylian! It's been a while. I lived in Houston, but I'm in my first year at UT now, so I'm up here in Austin for 4 years. Do you troll the UT Smash Club with your G&W?

Yeah, now that I think about it, I remember you using ICs. I still remember those Grand Finals with your ICs vs. Sethlon's Falco at one of the first HOBOs.

Yes, Hylian came to one meeting with the old smash club, back when I still played Brawl, haha.
He ***** my TL with his Falco, and narrowly beat me in a Wolf ditto. If only he came to another meeting sooner, I'd be more enthused about facing him again (in Brawl). I also remember him doing random against a bunch of other players. There was this one fat dude who played a pretty decent Marth, Hylian randomed against him and got Mario, and just barely lost. The fat dude was hyperventilating, lulz.

Since there is demand for a Brawl singles tournament, we will hold one this Saturday, April 3rd at 5pm. The entry fee will be $5 and payouts will be 60/30/10% (possibly after a 10% house cut). We're starting to put out flyers now so hopefully the turnout will be good (above 15). We can hold some side events after the tourney and friendlies throughout the meeting. Also, note that there will be a $1 venue fee charged at the door.

Clay and I agreed that set-ups permitting, there should be one that's Brawl +/- only, now that the final version of B+ has been released, and a new version of B-.
And it'd be nice to have a side event of some sort involving those games, if enough sign up.

Ugh, Clay, don't charge a $1 venue fee. >_> Let's just make this Brawl tourney small and do a larger one in May that we can advertise, at which we can charge a venue fee. It seems silly to charge a venue fee at one week's notice for a tournament that while likely not see a large turnout.

Exactly, this is why I think the tournament should be small, and we should avoid a venue fee. If we host a large Brawl tournament it should be in March.

Why would I "make people up" Kal? There were three people that were interested in Brawl: Cats&Dogs, aXeWray, and Kirin. I also thought we should have Brawl this meeting since we'll have Endless Challenge (which is all melee) next time. I was just trying to be fair and responsive to what the spectrum of current and potential members desire.

And it's too late to cancel the admission fee, I already put out flyers advertising it. Anyways, I think you're making it a bigger deal than it is. It's just one dollar and will cover the cost of this meeting alone, maybe a little more. Besides, we need funds and there aren't many other options to get them. It's also a matter of holding events legally. We do not want to collect tournament entry fees with the ticketing procedure due to how annoying/convoluted this process is. However, student org policy dictates that we use the ticketing procedure whenever we charge admission to an event. Only using the ticketing procedure to collect a venue fee seems to be a legal solution.

I would also add that it's not obvious that turnout will be low. It is Easter weekend, but it's only a two-day weekend. This is kind of too short for many people to bother going home. And not all of the Austin Brawl community is going to WHOBO, right? Further, I put out flyers today, which is unusually early and could help turnout.

But maybe it will be a small tournament. If so, that does not mean it is all of a sudden unreasonable to ask for a $1 admission fee. The meeting still costs $20 and has to be paid for no matter what the turnout.

I mentioned the fact that we may have a $1 admission fee at this meeting last Monday (see pg. 82 of this thread) so I think people were given fair warning.

I understand the concern that an admission fee may discourage some from coming to the meeting but understand that we need teh funds (our club account currently has effectively -$15 assuming we reimburse Juan in full for all the meetings for which he has provided snacks) and this seems like a simple, fair way to acquire them. What can be more fair than having everybody that uses the room and the snacks to pitch in 1/20th of the cost? Besides, we've stopped collecting the membership fee and removed that from our flyers/email--maybe that was discouraging people from coming to meetings before. I don't mean to sound defensive, I'm just trying to explain why I think it is reasonable and necessary to have a very small venue fee.

The comment was mostly in jest, but since we have a long notice in advance for the April 17th tournament, as well as a thread made for it, shouldn't we do the same for a Brawl tournament in order to be fair?

And it's too late to cancel the admission fee, I already put out flyers advertising it. Anyways, I think you're making it a bigger deal than it is.

I'm not making a big deal of it. All I said was that I don't think it's necessary. Some people will view it as unfair. And even if you have already put out flyers, replacing those flyers isn't exactly taxing our limited resources.

With regards to the ticketing procedure, that's never really been an issue. Why are you bringing this up? It's going to be much more troublesome enforcing a $1 venue fee and looking like a **** asking people to leave who don't have $1 or who don't want to pay. With an advance notice, this wouldn't be an issue (if we advertised a tourney in May, people would have more than enough time to get their **** together, and the event could be much better organized).

I would also add that it's not obvious that turnout will be low. It is Easter weekend, but it's only a two-day weekend. This is kind of too short for many people to bother going home. And not all of the Austin Brawl community is going to WHOBO, right? Further, I put out flyers today, which is unusually early and could help turnout.

The turnout will most likely be low. At least, in comparison to an event we hosted in May, where we advertised more than a week in advance. And the cost of the meeting does not need to be paid for at this meeting. We'll have other meetings. A real, legitimate Brawl tournament, that the Austin scene will show up to, would be better for them and for us.

I mentioned the fact that we may have a $1 admission fee at this meeting last Monday (see pg. 82 of this thread) so I think people were given fair warning.
First of all, as an aside: set the number of posts displayed per page to the maximum (I believe it's 40) in your user CP. Page 82, lawl.

And I doubt most of the people showing up to this keep up with the thread. Even if they do, we didn't have a thread made or have any real advertisement for this event.


I understand the concern that an admission fee may discourage some from coming to the meeting but understand that we need teh funds (our club account currently has effectively -$15 assuming we reimburse Juan in full for all the meetings for which he has provided snacks) and this seems like a simple, fair way to acquire them.

The main concern isn't even that some people will be discouraged from coming. That is an issue, but the main issue is that we could simply have the event in May, with good advertisement, with several more (hopefully 30+) people showing up. This weekend, being easter weekend, with there being a separate Brawl tournament that most of Austin will be attending, there isn't much point in having a tournament where we charge everyone a venue fee. A tournament in May simply makes more sense.
