Sorry guys just got off a plane, was in DC with clients all day so just checking back in. I'll check with them tomorrow if it's open for Sunday, since the office is closed now. The only time I've ever seen that room used however is for owners meetings once a quarter...otherwise it's always empty so I think we'll be golden.
Enough space for three 6x4s, plus board game room, and a beer fridge for Jeff. If we have 7 players, 8 with Joel if he can make it, we should be fine to have a couple players wait for a table to open to get their game in. Otherwise we'll be fine to have 6 players and 3 games going at a time.
It's $50 to rent - if it's open, should I just grab it? Our prize can be $10 and bragging rights lol, or practice can be its own reward. Whatever.

Thanks Nick. I think we'd all be pretty down with that. As for future tournaments with C&M, it looks like it'd really have to be a two day affair. She can give us 11 hours on a Saturday, which would probably be fine for a 6-player tournament, but anything beyond that is pushing it. Especially if we have to clear out by the end as well.
Maybe if we ever do one with them, it can be two days. What a butt.
We can all just start going to Dice Dojo's weird tournaments with their arbitrary restrictions that have nothing to do with greater competitive meta.

I say go for it Nick. My only concern is gonna be parking for everyone since it's pretty much non-existent where he's at.

And Jeff, I can make it so let me know if you need any help. I have access to printing if we need it.

Russell good call, parking is a huge pain in the ass. Carpooling is recommended, there is parking about a block away at Treasure Island, but last time the parking official wasn't there so that fucked things up. I haven't had that issue since last time, which was October, so we should be good - but the fewer cars we have to park the better.

Also I'm right by Clark, north, and LaSalle - so the 22, 36, 156, and Sedgewick brown line stop are all very close.

Cool, I'll have to drive because I have tables and terrain, so I can probably fit 2 other people, but it will be tight.
With that in mind, we need people to bring terrain please!

I hope this works out! Also I spoke with the folks at Geek Bar last night, they really want to run a small tourney sometime.

Gawd dammit.
Thanks for keeping at it Nick.
Guys, personally, I'm very sorry. I know that it's not really my fault that all this shit fell through so spectacularly, but I certainly don't see anyone else to blame.

Jeff thanks for putting in the time and planning on this man, we all appreciate it - it certainly isn't your fault. Sometimes shit just falls through, like when 3 days before an event you're told that it has to end much sooner than what was planned for, for example.
Anybody up to just play some games anyways on Sunday lol my day is still free, I didn't go back to Ohio for St Pattys so I could push toys around...would hate to let Doug and Karen down, denying them my presence and ALSO not pushing toys.
