Then: Last year I was able to open my apartment up for an entire week (from the end of Christmas to 2010) for whoever in the melty community wanted to come visit and play some games where we basically play for days on end all the way through to the new year. Also when everyone was drunk enough, I would sneak on some anime. I have fond memories of beating Zar in a drunk mirror match with Archetype Earth mirror just by mashing 5B.
Now: Unfortunately, this year, that is not possible - I also have a couple roommates who would probably not appreciate an "open house" - style sort of event where people are getting mad drunk. I also will not even have access to my new apartment (I have moved since last year) during the holidays. So, in lieu of the event I would like to happen, I am opening my apartment this weekend (as it is the only possible before my apartments close and before finals week). For any regular who wants to come and stay a couple days.
Ground Rules: Again, because of the restrictions, this is a private event - meaning I will need to know in advance who you are and that you are coming and will confirm it. I have one setup (with a possible stream), but I'm expecting a friend to bring a second. A backup setup would be nice if someone could manage just in case. The limit set is at most 5 people (but I definitely want to hit this cap) and there is only one couch, so you probably want to bring a sleeping bag. I have extra pillows but no blankets (and no, they're not hug pillows). Drinking is allowed but getting loud/dumb/fucked up drunk is not. Hype needs to take a small break between 2am and 9am; but games are fine anytime.
Time/Location: The event officially starts at 7PM on Friday, 12/10/2010. I can keep one or two people until as late as Tuesday night, but I think it'd be better if most people left by Sunday Night/Monday morning. Staying over Friday Night/Saturday Night is no problem. The campus is extremely safe, so don't let the fact the location is near to Trenton worry you. Those coming from out of state will get priority to stay as long as they please.
Transportation: Transportation is very easy. You will either need to take a major train or bus line that stops at Trenton Transit Center than take the 601 Bus to The College of New Jersey. You must have photo ID on you so I can sign you into the campus. The senior housing is fairly large, so this isn't any normal small dorm, so again, no worries. There is also a parking garage if you want to drive, in which case the address is 2000 Pennington Road, Ewing, NJ. Again, you'll have to confirm you're coming and I will PM you my number.
Reservations: I'm hungry for games, but the schedule is tight so this is the best I can do this year, feel free to post/PM if you want to come. In January I will probably host a public event open to everybody with far less restrictions, or possibly even a tournament at a nearby location. I also realize there is very little notice for this. It's pretty much first-come, first-serve, but I have invited a couple people already so they will get priority if they are able to attend. I'd be ecstatic if some MD/DE/NY could come to play, even if it's a little bit out of your way. I'm expecting some of the regular Jersey/Philly crew to come by if other obligations (school T_T) doesn't murdalize them. There is of course, no venue, but you will need to bring your own food money and such because I'm dirt poor right now.
