Hi everyone! I know this thread is old but I was about to post basically the same thing. I added everyone that I could. I've lived in Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, respectively lol. Graduated from NCCU and now living in Chapel Hill. Went to MLG Raleigh last year and will be going again this year. 23 years old and looking for a local group of similar individuals to hang out with and play SC2, but LAN places like RUaGamer and GameFrog aren't really my thing... I recently played SC2 with some friends at a sports bar off Glenwood Ave. called Blinco's and it was a lot of fun. Some of you may have been there before. The management are SC1 fans and are willing to host meetups once or twice a month if I organize them. It's not a LAN center so you'd need a laptop or super portable desktop to play but their wifi is fantastic, no lag or anything, and they'd reserve their party room for us to play in so we have a good space. I'm a graphic designer full time so I run SC2 from my MacBook and a wireless keyboard/mouse. I'm planning to hold the 1st event (which I'm calling SCTuesdays @Blincos) the last Tuesday in March, 3/27/12 from 7pm-11pm. It's a full sports bar so even if you don't have a laptop you could come and eat, drink, obs, play pool or watch other sports on their TVs and have a good time. So please PM/email me or reply here if you're interested. I'd really like to make this a regular, once-a-month thing. It'd be a great way to meet new ppl and enjoy playing SC2 in a more Barcraft-esque setting 8) Gold Level Terran jerryrigginz.174 (always up for customs) Twitter: @JerryRigginz | ||

AeroEffect I'm right with you man. For an area that hosts one of the bigger MLG events in the season, we've got a pretty disjointed community of players lol. That's part of the reason I'm trying to start this SCTuesdays event, to help connect players face-to-face in a physical space and build the community. Forums and online communities are great but I think they're at their best when they serve as a supplement to some kind of personal interaction. That's why we like LANs so much. I would love to get this thing rolling big enough so we could do it at least twice a month. Like I said, management is really thrilled about the idea both as business owners and as fans of the game, so we really don't have anything to lose 8/ | ||

This looks like a really awesome idea, I'd definitely try to make it out there when I'm free. Also, I hope you don't mind, but I posted it up on the TriangleStarcraft subreddit. Hopefully it'll help get the word out there. http://www.reddit.com/r/TriangleStarcraft/ | ||

Maybe somebody will have a charger for your laptop that you can borrow? I've got an IBM laptop charger if that works. Blinco's is providing power strips and I'm bringing 1 of mine.

You can definitely use mine after I get tired of winning 8) lol That's a joke. You can use mine after I get tired of wallowing in defeat haha. I have a USB apple keyboard and a USB mouse though, which you can use too, but bring your own keyboard/mouse if you prefer. | ||

Remember people that don't play SC2 but just want to watch/hang are welcome too! That includes girlfriends/boyfriends, siblings, roommates, whoever. Only thing is if they're under 21 then they absolutely have to be out by 11pm, management rules. We'll be wrapping up around then anyway though so it shouldn't be a huge deal. | ||
