Grimgak Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 I'm not registered for the Madison tournament (and I don't have any equipment), but this isn't far from where I live so I might come watch! I've always wanted to see how a live Tecmo Tourney goes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoigaard Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It looks very likely that me (Ryan K, "Hoigaard2," Group GG on the TecmoMadison list) and my buddy Kevin M (Group Y) will be stopping by. Looking forward to it and meeting everyone. Any idea if it's going to be a string of "pick-up games" or will there be a mini tourney of some sort organized?

Knobbe Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 You guys should have some pickup games followed by mini tourney. It's the Madison way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob sacamano Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 You guys should have some pickup games followed by mini tourney. It's the Madison way.Yeah, pick up games are likely to kick it off, followed by a mini tourney I'm sure. Kevin and Ryan, we would love to have you! Hope you can make it out!Kweh, will you be in Chicago on Friday!? You MUST swing by man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Moon Rison Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I'll be in Chicago at the airport Friday night and wish I could change my flight to Chicago for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ones11fahzu Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Where is a good place to park? Or more precisely, what parking garage can I park in where I won't get my BMW emblem ripped off? That cost me $45 last Chicago tournament! Ones11fahzu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob sacamano Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yeah, that was definitely one thing that was absolutely overlooked last time around. The parking situation was terrible at best. This won't be much different either, but I will say this bar is a good number of blocks north, and hence in a better/safer neighborhood. Meter parking is the only thing I'm aware of just outside, and nearby - but I'm sure there is a parking structure nearby. DePaul University is about a half mile south of the bar (just south of W. Fullerton, so I imagine there are parking structures there. Also, between 4:00PM-5:00PM CST, we shouldn't have much trouble finding a meter spot just outside the bar.

Neerrm Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'll be in the area around the 11th, so I guess I can't count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImFlo Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 On the train. Can't wait to shake some cobwebs. Why am I so damn excited about a 20 year old game? I've been to at least 10 tournaments and I still get a chubber. [ Post made on a Tecmo Super Mobile Device!] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
