Sounds like an awesome idea but nobody has a clue where your house is or when it will be if you are serious.
Hotel bar would probably be the best to meet up if you want a maximum turn out for the less fortunate without rides.
Or the denny's on Sunday after the finals, we can always just make the waiters and chefs cry working them to death.

My house is a stone throw from downtown Dallas, about 10 mins from venue. My only concern is the capacity of my house. I don't mind people meeting up at my place, but at the same time I'd like everyone to be able to move.

well when you say things like "kegger/pool at my house" sounds like a very open invitation for a lot of people showing up and your place almost guarantee end up being in bad shape at the end. ;o

We'll go all out. It's the grand finals.

Not cheap + Show Spoiler +Other than that I think the little cafe/bar area (pic above) just behind the doors in the tower area (coming from convention center) might work as well, it was a popular gathering spot at Quakecon and it's really close to the towers entrance where food is delivered (because as previously mentioned, there's no restaurants around really, but many pizza/sandwich places will deliver to the tower entrance)
Here as mentioned would be the best for everyone coming, simple, at the venue, food can be delivered if you want to order out, and no car pooling involved.
As of when.. Sunday after the finals? Sounds good? Yes no?
Feel free to speak up lurkers!

I'm staying there at the Holiday Inn Market Center if anyone else is, be glad to meet up as well. Since one of my friends was coming, but had to back out (its hard times D; ) I'm hoping to not be a Solo Op. (lol)
**edit to add**
D: The account is new to the TL community but I've been coming here for years for readings/watching pro leagues. ((Just felt I couldnt be up to par with contributing =w= (if that makes since))) **

All I know is i want to game and party. Please if you're having a kegger party get this mess confirmed because I'm in. Drinks and meetup need to happen. The little bar thing sounds cool but I'm sure thats going to get mad expensive. Kegger sounds like the way to do it.

I wonder what their policy is about kegs at the hotel... i.e. can we buy a keg and just have it out in the courtyard somewhere with a TL sticker (probably piece of paper with TL written) on it

hahaha definitely am diggin your idea chas. drunken in public isnt fun. I say people just open their hotel rooms and we go to town

I'm a Dallas local and new SC2 player/TL member. I think meeting up earlier in the weekend might be best. Meeting up earlier let's people get to know each other sooner and plan things for the next day.
*EDIT* Oh, I've also realized that I've been looking for feedback on my attempt at what should be a Texas Favorite: Macaroni and Cheese sticks. Think mozzarella stick but with macaroni and cheese inside. I'm reading the pre-game show for SC2 is 5pm CST Friday. I'm willing to make a bunch of horribly healthy cheese sticks and bring them before the pre-game show.
Would 4PM Friday somewhere be too early for people? I'm unsure of exactly where a good meetup place would be. Friday it is supposed to be in the Mid 60s.

if there are mac and cheese sticks I will totally be there... 4pm is fine with me - since that is during the tourney we should probably meet somewhere at the hotel. I have a feeling a lot of ppl won't be there until Saturday though, so if we have an "official" meetup it should be Sat or Sun imo

The hilton may not care if you bring in food (but they may, I'm not sure).. but I am fairly sure that MLG won't allow outside food or drinks. I remember hearing players/casters commenting that they had to smuggle in water bottles even.

When I was at the venue for Quakecon, they wouldn't let me bring in my dominos pizza. You can EAT there, but you can't bring outside food into the MLG or the event area.

The weather right now is gorgeous and is expected to be the same all weekend. I planned on heading down to the hotel in the next few hours and picking a spot outside. The place has big grounds and I figured you guys should be outside in the Texas sun at some point this weekend.

I ate papa johns in the byoc multiple times during Quakecon. So unless MLG has there own set of rules prohibiting it then the Hilton will let you bring food in.

I'm pretty surethey have their own rules against it, they want the only food /drink on the premise to be Dr Pepper and Hot Pockets I think. But someone who's been to one can tell us for sure.
That's not a huge deal, I assume we'd just want the outside stuff for our meetup, which would be in the previously mentioned courtyard or cafe anyway

I just got back from the hotel. The place okuraku posted photos of in this post ... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=165218¤tpage=3#49 ... looks great.
My guess is that lot's of people will be busy lots of time on over the weekend. However, I'd like to meet some people before the event starts. So tomorrow, Friday, 4PM Central Time where okuraku photo'd. It's next to the Peacock Room. I'll be outside at a park bench.
It has lots of outdoor seating, the weather is quite nice. There's indoor seating too. We can be loud and obnoxious outside next to the park benches and not disrupt too many people.
|
Smurphy, okuraku posted 3 photos, which one do you mean? Regardless I'll see you guys there. A kegger sounds awesome, I hope whoever suggested that isn't yanking my chain.
And as for food, the MLG staff was very strict in Washington, so I don't think its likely we'll be able to do anything side the event.

The 3 photos are mostly the same place... I think. Essentially, next to the peacock room is a bar. Take the doors next to the bar to the outside and you are there. I think all three pictures are of the area right around it...
Next to the peacock room is a small restaurant bar. I believe that is the one photographed in the third picture. If I'm picturing the correct hotel bar, in the third picture on the far right, behind the plants are doors to the outside. If you open those doors you are at the location of picture #1. So picture #1 is, in theory, directly outside picture #3. Picture #2 is simply a photo taken of the same place as picture #1 but also encompassing the surrounding area. In picture #2, straight in the middle against the building are the chairs located in picture #1.
