After some talking business and working a deal out, I've found a spot in Edison New Jersey that will allow us to play Melty Blood at their spot. It can hold roughly 20 people, maybe more. It's also open til roughly 1-11pm each day, and I've worked it out so that we don't even need to pay for a permit or commission anything of the sort to use it. The hosting spot, Fusion Ti, only wants us to by some drinks from their store. [That's all they really do, it's more of a hangout spot in the first place that makes money by selling drinks, many of which are Bubble Teas; allowing people to hangout, and having free wi-fi if you bring your laptop.] The Bubble Tea is actually quite good there, so make sure to buy some if you come. Of course they have some juice and coffees as well, but no alcohol. Let's not push it.
Anyways, like i said, after talking to the manager he said it'd be fine if we could host an event there this once to see how it goes, so let's try to make a good impression, guys! If we make this not only profitable for the manager but a good daily spot for Melty Games, not only will the NJ Melty community soar, we'll be able to play each other during the week if possible [assuming you don't live that far away from the spot] without having to just stick to weekend matches over people's homes.
That said, in summary, this is how it'll break down:
1: It'll be Saturday, that is Oct
10th 17th, from roughly 1pm to roughly 10 pm [possibly shorter, i have not arranged all the details with the manager as of yet].
2: Since this is just a 'we'll try and see how it goes' session, make sure to make a good impression, guys! Shower before you come, and make sure you buy at least one drink each. Try not to be too rowdy or obnoxious, though having some fun is of course allowed.
3: If we make a good impression, it's quite possible this can become a daily routine, BUT that's if we make a good impression.
4: We're going to want at least 4 people to come, so if you're free this saturday and want some melty, please come! The more people we bring, the more possible this will all become!

I've really tried hard to get this all together, so please make an effort yourselves, guys; try to come! I look forward to meeting you all for the first time.
P.S.: The details for this might change as i get in contact with the manager and completely get this event together, so make sure to check for edits later on during the week.
P.S.S.: If you're planning to come, either PM me or simply message me here, but don't just randomly show up; i need to give the manager an idea of how many people will be coming. I won't say no, anyone is welcome, just you gotta let me know at least 1 day ahead of time
