SWEET.... The event seems to be shaping up very nicely and I am really looking forward to attending. My wife and son plan to tag along so for all those coming, prepare to meet little Konjou Akira 2.0 hahaha. He can't hold a controller yet, but that day will eventually come and when it does I'm going to tech him to kick all of your pathetic asses.

All jokes asides, I know this event might be a financial burden to many of you, so all I will say is this, sometimes you just gotta treat yourself to something nice. We all waste money on tons of things each day, week or month that after the money is spent, often leaves us feeling empty like it was completely wasted. Well, here is a chance to spend some of your hard earned cash on something you care about 1000% and in the process create a beautiful memory that will last you a life time.

This event is not about whether you are a good player or bad player. It's about giving yourself the chance to finally meet and put faces to your fellow VF brethren. And who knows, perhaps even create some REAL life long friendships. I know I have created many in the many years I have been playing this game. So, don't be lazy, stop making excuses, tell your GF or wife to STFU and you'll give her the next check after you get back, pack your bags, get on a plane or jump in your car and get the fuck in. Come chill and have a good time with the community of people who share one of your deep passions. Take advantage of this rare chance to meet one of the original VF OGs and the opportunity to get your ass kicked from every angle possible by him, all the while laughing and having a good time because you know deep down in your soul you made the right choice. I guarantee you will leave happy knowing the money you spent was all worth it and as you travel back home you will be taking nothing but unforgettable joy with you.

See y'all there!!!

I'm in!!
please bear with a rusty guy~

Yeah!!! The only bad player is Tim if he decides/grow a big enough pair to come! Lol

Hello all! Montage from Dropkick here.

I've been a bit out of commission on this project for a little while due to a very busy season at work, but I'm back with two pieces of good news!

1. I've created a Facebook page for the event here! Use it to invite friends who may not have seen the event here or on twitter!

2. You can now pre-pay for the event's registration and tournament fees through PayPal on the smash.gg page here! As stated in the original post, this is a non-profit event, and all funds generated will go straight into the prize pool or covering costs of the event itself.

I'm so excited for this event, and will do all I can to ensure it runs smoothly. Please feel free to hit me up on twitter at @MonatgeFGC if you have any questions or want to talk anything event-related!

Thanks so much for your help Alex! Really couldn't have done this without your assistance.

@MadeManG74 - thank you for always pushing this at every opportunity.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if the tournament was on PS3 because I want to use my Qanba Dragon stick.

PS3 will be the the tournament system. We are encouraging people to bring any system they want for casuals. @Montage might be able to provide a CRT or two if people want to play older games on non-HDMI monitors!

Guys - in about a week, the rooms held under VFDC group with the negotiated rate will be released. The rate goes up from $139 to $159 per night!

Book ASAP!

I talked with @Jason Elbow earlier today. Just waiting for him so we can split the cost. Hopefully, it won't be too late.

Which day is deadline before room rate increase?

Kruza

Is there anyone still looking for a hotel roommate? Let me know in this thread or by private messaging, and we can work things out.

Question for @adamYUKI So the current group hotel room group rate consists of three nights (17th-19th), and then everyone must check out early afternoon of the 20th? Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.

Kruza

Hi Kruza! Yes, the group rate is for those three nights. If you'd like to stay a day or two later, I can get that discounted rate for you. Just let me know.

Anyone have any ideas for some non-VF activities during the evenings, primarily? I am making reservations at a couple of cool restaurants overlooking the beach, and thinking about hookah lounge & bar for Friday and/or Saturday nights.

If you want to do something specific, please let me know so that I can help arrange it.

kruza you may wanna get in touch with Kadaj.

@adamYUKI - I do plan on staying an extra day (leave on 21st), but this factor may depend on whether I can find a roommate.

As for non-VF stuff, I'm still into billiards/pool, though I haven't played in a very long time. Hopefully these beach restaurants serve some good beer!


@Jason Elbow - I sent a message to KADAJ757, so I hope he responds as soon as possible. Anyway, good matches the other day!

Kruza

I sent him a pm about rooming with him. I just need to know if someone is looking for a roommate to make it easier for me when the time comes to get there. Are you still looking for a roommate kruza. I am up for that

@shadowmaster - Okay, let's do it! Details are in the PM I sent you.

Kruza

I plan on bringing a small sony trinitron CRT with PS2 and DC setups for VF4EVO and VF3TB

THE KONJOU FAMILY IS CONFIRMED!!! See y'all soon.

Looks like LAG is shaping up to be one hell of an event! It could be a better turn out than NMTC! Hey @adamYUKI where dem trailers at? Who's streaming this event?
