Since my flight leaves the next morning at 7 am, I dont really think I can house people after the tournament, but I might be able to house a few on the Friday night before the tournament.

dammit Mike, how are we supposed to get hella drunk after the tourney if you gotta fly out at 7 the next morning?

I'll seriously considering this, as flights aren't too bad right now

thats easy dude, I never said I was going to sleep and im getting dropped off at the airport. Infact, my very plan is to get fucked up with all of you so I can get on the plane wasted and pass out for the next 12 hours! Please help me have a nice wasted flight back to Japan.

Expeted turnout? Hard to say. I guess thats all up to you guys. Last weekend NEC had over 50 GG players. If the GG players want to make this big thats up to them. All I did was put the wheel in motion. At the very least, I can tell you that there are a lot of Chicago players who have actually been playing quite regularly again (both old and new blood)

Cue - You better come! We got lots of games to play and things to consume.

Wow airfare to Chicago is only 200 dollars? Thats dirt cheap. EVERYONE should be coming to this. If SuperFX and Hellmonkey can try to be on the same flight or on flights that arrive close together maybe I can pick you both up at the same time

I looked up some hotels Mike and there are quite a few in the area but obviously it's more fun if we all stay in the same one for casuals and shit. The sooner we can get this picked out the better, i don't wanna drive 35 minutes to get to the venue like last year, i couldnt get drunk with you guys!

Well everyone, I have good news! The venue is changed. The tournament will now be at Nickel City! GGA is probably a nice place and all, but the party room there is just too small. With nickel City we can use their whole party room and everyone gets access to the arcade area as well so there will be much more space. And as a result of this, I will be adding more official games. As of now on the polls, the highiest ranked game is acutally KOF. I didnt realize KOF was so big but if everyone wants it, we will be having a KOF tournament. I just hope people can bring the game cuz I dont even own it. 2 next highest games are BB and Melty. I will ad both of those too, so we will have 5 official games and as in previous years, if theres space and time, people can run side tournaments as well.

Is that incentive enough for you all to come now? :)

The first post has been updated with the new information. Please pre register for the new games as well by posting in the thread. Would anyone like to help run these newly added games?

As you all probably know, closest hotel is Red Roof Inn right accross the street. I added the info in the first post.
