EPTSo I heard Huk was coming down to the Eaton Centre around 3 p.m. and I had a shift but I wanted to come meet one of my favourite Starcraft players, and jumped at the chance to take my break and hope to have my mouse pad signed.
I have been encouraging the owner of our store to play and enjoy Starcraft and I brought him along to come get stuff signed with me. I figured there would be 50-75 people tops and no issues at all, I'd just go back to work and I would have my mouse pad signed and life would be dandy. Apparently, that wasn't what the future had in store.
So apparently Toronto loves Starcraft. We ended up with a ton of people wanting pictures with Huk and autographs, and basically the world exploded at the Eaton Centre in front of EB games, we had security asking us to move because we were blocking washrooms and storefronts. EB games tried to accommodate Huk, but there wasn't really anything set in stone about what was going to 'occur'. So my boss takes it upon himself to help these guys out, and offers the use of our storefront so that Huk could sign everything and we ended up giving out free ice cream to anyone who had came to see Huk.
It was totally epic, Huk is such a cool dude in person and I was so thankful to meet him. I hope that everyone had a blast and I am so thankful that we could help out Huk with all his signing!
P.S. I originally had planned to buy Huk an ice cream, so that my girl friend could meet him! Little did she know, we brought the whole party to her! She works there too, and when the whole crowd walked in with Huk at the lead she freaked out!~
P.P.S. To Huk, if you read this, I really had a blast and hope that we made your day easier for you, I know that you volunteered your time to come out and see the fans and that the Toronto community really showed that it appreciated what you did for them. I hope what the owner, Ryan, and I did, didn't come off as appearing like we were taking advantage of you for business. We are both genuine fans of yours and of Starcraft 2, and don't want you to think that we did what we did to turn a profit.
P.P.P.S. To MLG, I think this helps you to commit to the possibility of a MLG in Canada, there is clear want and community that would love to get more Starcraft action sent our way!

The owner Ryan and Huk, both trolling each other hard! A personal shout out to Ryan who made this all happen, while still being too terrified to ladder!
