Catherine and I are definitely up for Thursday night. We can (and plan to) show up as early as 7:30. Hopefully Enishi will be able to make it.

Friday night sounds cool, too. Thanks for the info.

Wow! Last night was REALLY fun for me. Thank you all for coming out to AI early. I really liked the new start time.

Sorry to run away instead of going to the restaurant - I wanted to get to the store in Riverside before it closed at 11:00 (made it by 10:50).

Catherine and I plan to go to AI on Sunday, July 3rd. I'll be coming to play Guitar Freaks and VF on Thursday the 7th. Catherine and I plan to come the following Thursday at 7:30 to play VF.

Too bad that Enishi didn't show. Hope nothing bad happened.

See you all tonight as Wes' restaurant.



Watch this thread for a SoCal VF announcement. Small hint: keep your calendar open for the night of July 23rd /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

Word on the street says console play is still cool, so...


It's time to play at Plague's house!

It's been exactly one year since the last one of these was called. Dust off your mad VF4:Evolution skills and come to battle with the best SoCal has to offer.

<font color="red">Get ready for the double elimination tournament at midnight!</font>

Bring all your skills with you. Tournament seeding based on number of wins at the last tournament qualifiers and results. New entrants fill out the remaining spaces by random draw. Your wins will be recorded for the next event. Top seeds always get the bye.

Tournament will be held on the main TV. Other setups (as many as we can have) will be for open play. From the opening rounds to the finals, each match-up will be 3 out of 5 fights, best 2 out of 3 games - winner's and loser's brackets.

Players from outside of SoCal are welcome to attend. I think it's definitely worth the effort.


Date: Saturday, July the 23rd, 2005.

Time: 7:30 pm till...

<font color="red">Tournament Start:</font> <font color="purple">Midnight</font>
Get there by 11:30 for sign-ups.

Place: Plague's House - 8538 Wild Pony Drive, Riverside, CA 92509

Directions from Los Angeles:

60 East, past the 57 and 15 freeways
Exit Pedley
Right turn on Pedley
Left turn on Mission (first traffic light)
Right turn on Agate (first right, no stop sign)
Left turn on Wild Pony Drive (first left)

Directions from San Diego:

15 North past the 91 fwy, 60 East
Exit Pedley
Right turn on Pedley
Left turn on Mission (first traffic light)
Right turn on Agate (first right, no stop sign)
Left turn on Wild Pony Drive (first left)

Address numbers on house and mailbox post. Silver Honda Odyssey in driveway.

PM for phone numbers if you need them.

Will you hit traffic? Hard to say since it's on Saturday. Don't let that sway you! This trip is worth every minute of it.

What we provide: Three TVs, US PS2 with Evo, Japanese PS2 with Evo, two evo sticks, two ASCII sticks, air conditioning, fridge full of soda, couple or three bags of chips, places to sit, room for five or six (maybe seven?) VF setups.

What you all need to bring: Biggest TVs you can come up with and fit in your car (remember, it's better to have too many), POWER STRIPS, your PS2s, your sticks, and your evo discs.

What about food? Everyone usually chips in for food. Lots of fast food in the area. Good sit-down restaurants, too.

Who's gonna be there? Well, in the past we've had some of the best that Southern California, the West Coast, the East Coast, and the world has to offer - any one of them could make a return visit: <font color="blue">akiralove, andy, Myke, Joey (Betabow), Shou, mukatsuku_shun, bearcrusher, kurita, Kaminari_Oyaji, stompoutloud, Jerky, SiYkO, Dobi, IronJUNKIE, Shang, LPC73, Team Tokyo Mafia (PhoenixDth, Sean, GoatCheeseBlues), Ken_I, Catherine, SillyWilly, KTallguy, Type Tenchi, Banes, Mindscan, Whoa_its_Eric, Mike90210, vf4akira, Gribbly and Team Pandemic (Austin, Forrester, Jimmy), sgtsmurf, Joon, Weslyzm, Rikyu, Adam, Amir, Chris, Chris II, Adrian, Peter, Mike, Jake, Collette, Harlock,</font> and many more!

Sometimes 17 people at once with five set ups running!

Maybe this time we'll get six setups going! Maybe even seven!

What's gonna happen? Lots of VF4Evo. Big ass tournament.

Please post your intent to show up right here on this thread - makes it more exciting for all the fence sitters out there - and it's easier for us to plan the beverage purchase.

Whoa. That's some wild news. Looking forward to many games of VF with you.


Very cool, indeed.

 

Re: SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

Can I take a train to LA? Going there by car is a bit difficult for me....

 

Re: SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

Amtrak to the rescue!

San Francisco to Riverside and back,

and

San Francisco to L.A. and back.


These two trips leave early Saturday and return you late Sunday. It makes more sense time-wise to go directly to Riverside by train. The travel time is almost three hours shorter and you won't need a ride to Riverside.

It would be easy for me to pick you up Saturday at the station at 5:30 pm and bring you back to the station Sunday at 8:35 am.

Alternately, you could show Saturday night, play VF, sleep. Stay at my house on Sunday night (couch) and leave for SF Monday morning, at 8:35 am.

I used San Francisco Union Station as a departure point. There are other stations available but I didn't check them. The one I picked looks really good to me because of the 5:30 pm Saturday night arrival in Riverside. You can start from where you like in SF and get your tickets by going here. Use the round-trip button first.

What a whirlwind adventure! Home. Train ride. VF. Train ride. Home.

I did something like that a few years back for a Quake 3 clan LAN party in Colorado. Home. Airplane. Quake. Sleep. Quake and go-karts and Quake. No Sleep. Plane. Home. It was very cool, indeed.

I hope you can do this.

 

Re: SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

wow some akira fei action

im going to assume srider wants to play some FT, before he gets whipped back around to SF as well

 

Re: SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

you guys should share the FT goodness to Boston

cmon... just do it....

 

SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

Share the Boston goodness with SoCal at AI! Airplanes, tickets, etc. YOU CAN DO IT.

Bring Boston to my house on the 23rd!


+ wait... watch for the... KNEE!

 

Re: SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

UMMMM yeah about tomorrow...7/3

can't make it

seeing old friend

she can do things that are much better than the Giant Swing but very similiar to the Shiney Wiz.

maybe next time /versus/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

Re: SoCal Finally Tuned ver. B

Well, if anyone is planning on making it tomorrow, let me know by posting. Also, for some reason I can't post from my comp (I'm at a friend's house now), Next time we meet, I'll have to get some phone # so I can better coordinate with you guys...until I figure out what's wrong with my comp.
