Soooo, I talked to the assistant manager at a bowling alley I work at (Land Park Lanes on Freeport) and asked for his opinion on hosting a small tournament/session there every now and then. From my point of view, he's the manager that most of my coworkers aren't sociable with; the least... for lack of a better term, affable? manager.
He basically said that our general manager (GM) usually "rents" out the "fun land" room (which is where we hold birthday parties, meetings, etc.) but it's possible that she would give me a discount/let me do it for free since I work there. I gave him a general idea as to how many people I would expect (<20), and some reasons as to why it might support our company. Unfortunately our GM just went on vacation for a week, so I'll try asking one of our other managers in the meantime.
Anyways, on to the more concrete stuff. I have two laptops I can bring, both with the capability to run MBAACC, fully patched etc. I don't think we have a internet connection at our alley, so we wouldn't be able to stream; but I would be willing to record the matches either in-game or with some third party program (provided it didn't affect gameplay) so we could upload it later. I can bring my arcade stick as well as two PS3 controllers, but that's all I have; although I could probably bug Corimon to let me borrow hers, assuming she doesn't participate herself. I was also considering bringing my 360 with a monitor so we could have AE/UMvC/SC5/KoF13 on the side as well.
The only people I can assume would be interested are Zephyr, Corimon, Arvoyea, Hi I'm Nastyy(for marvel, not melty lol), and myself. If anyone else is interested, please let me know. I've already shot my GM an email, so I'll update as soon as I hear anything back from her or my other managers.
Of course, I'd be willing to drive out and pick up anyone who's not too far away. (That means you, Arvoyea!)
Sorry for the wall of text, kind of excited that my manager was open to the idea.
