if you guys want the community to grow and for lots of people to respect and learn and have fun with the game some more you're going to share venue with sf4 instead of having MB-exclusive events. imo this should be the community's #1 concern right now.
having shit outside on a nice day is great and all but it seems like you guys are overvaluing it a bit, what happened to enjoying all the mbaa hype and support from the rest of the fg scene? maybe if you all did more shit outside on a regular basis you wouldn't be like "omg outside is AWESOME" just saying.
of course there's nothing stopping anyone from having both onblast and bbgs occuring regularly, but realize that most of the people supporting and running and organizing the tourneys are going to be doing so for onblast. if you want bbg to happen so bad you're in for a lot more work than you think, you aren't gonna have half the scene saying they will help you out with stuff if they can wait a few weeks for the next onblast.
also, kinda off topic but are we really naming this series of tournaments "on blast" from now on? blehhh
