We will also set up a donation pot for partygoers to throw dollah bills into, if you are willing and able. Let's mobilize the esports community to do some good. =)
I am in the process of pulling together some kind of tourney or showmatch with a pot that businesses/people can donate to; the winner of the tourney/showmatch/thing will get to decide which charity the pot goes to. Keep an eye on this thread for details.
Thank you for your support, all. Let's have a great time on Friday, and do whatever little bit each of us can for the people halfway across the world from us. Yeah!

WTF IS EUDEMONIA?!
Also know affectionately as "Eudo", Eudemonia is a retail store very close to the UC Berkeley campus. We're a LAN center, and we also sell board games and Magic singles/do tournaments. We have ~30 computer stations and 5 xbox360s.
Right now, we're not set up for BYOC, unfortunately. But if enough people request it, we will be forced to listen, so if that's something you'd be interested, definitely leave us feedback.

Show-matches vs. Toronto ... and hopefully other cities (all unconfirmed as of 3/10, but I'll keep this post updated as I hear back from organizers):
- We did dOpa (us) vs SlayerS_bekho (canada) and HDStarcraft (us) vs CombatEX (canada) last time. chromate is the Toronto organizer. Lets' get some showmatches up and running again =)
- Maybe we can contact diggity and see if he's doing another meetup in LA
- Australian LAN parties... I've heard back from some of them
- Who will represent us in our showmatches? The winners of our mini-tourney/local pro-gamers/popular demand.
If there's a lot of interest in city-vs-city stuff, we should set up some kind of League-style tournament, with the finals played live for everyone to watch on the night of the GSL Code S finals!
