Unfortunately due to work conflict, I won't be able to make it there. But I STILL will make Grinkfest '15. See yinz in Eagle.

Here are all the details.

======


With the blessing of Funspot, we are going to be putting on a tournament on May 29 and 30, 2015 at Funspot / ACAM in Laconia, NH.

John's Arcade Impossible Outsiders - BROFEST 2015!

This is going to be a John's Arcade, Arcade Impossible, Arcade Outsiders, and The Kill Screens tournament. That's right, come join me, Gregg Hansen, Shawn "Phetishboy" Williams, Matt McCarthy, and more for a weekend of stupidity and fun! This is going to be a VERY casual tournament. If you're not good at the games, don't worry about it! If you're good at the games you'll be among good company. There is going to be some good competition too!

This will be an AURCADE.com tournament and the scores will count!

Thanks to our Director of Operations, Kris Gack, we have many, many sponsors for this event. Check out some of them below! We have about $2,000 in raffle and tournament prizes! How awesome!

Anyways, we are expecting a huge turnout. It's gonna be a blast. And, the fun will not end at Funspot. Most of us are staying at the NASWA resort and we will be having late night beer tastings, song sessions on the beach, and old fashioned weenie roasts!

Here are the details. I hope you can make it!

Who can come? YOU! The event is all ages and open to anyone. Don't worry about it! Just show up. It's gonna be fun. You don't need to be good at these games. But if you are, there will be plenty of competition. Trust me. Just have fun. Smiley

How much does it cost? There is no entry fee for the tournament. It is free! However, we hope you purchase a t-shirt and raffle tickets as the funds generated by those sales will be used for the prize pool and donations to ACAM and Scott Gaulin's family.

How do I register? Please e-mail Andrew at 34k@johnsarcade.com and tell him your name, city, and state so he can have your badge ready for you when you arrive.

What games are in the tournament? This is a secret! Smiley We will announce them the day of the tournament. Don' worry, the are GOOD games. We plan on having 15 games in the main tournament and will also have a side"manufacturer's challenge" tournament with three games.

What are the dates and times for the event?

NASWA Beach Bar - May 29th, 2015 - 12pm EST - Meet and Greet

FUNSPOT - May 29th, 2015 - 2:30PM EST - CLOSE - TOURNAMENT

FUNSPOT - May 30th, 2015 - 10:30am EST - 10:00pm EST - TOURNAMENT

FUNSPOT - MAY 30th, 2015 - 10:30pm EST - Prize ceremony, live Arcade Outsider's podcast, and more.

NOTE: The end time for the tournament and prize ceremony / live Arcade Outsider's Podcast is subject to change. We are going to play it by ear!

Where is this all happening?

Funspot
579 Endicott St N
Laconia, NH 03246

Where do I stay?

There are many hotels in the area. I can recommend NASWA and MARGATE.

Most of us are staying at: The NASWA Resort

As much as i have listened to the outsiders and watched your vids it would be cool to meet ya,ll but i'm not gonna stand in line to kiss your asses!!! If it works out I am gonna get retarded drunk and make an ass of myself (i dont get out much)! Lookin forward to it. A bro you don't know......!!!!

I SO Want to go! But probably can't for these reasons

1. My Dad doesn't have the money to drive/fly down there. (15H BY CAR FROM ILLINOIS?!?!?! :O) Sad
2. We probably don't have any time to go.

I would SO LOVE to go, so would my Dad. We both love your vids John. Sucks we can't be there to meet you in person. Would of been a great experience! I would of also participated in the tournament too. Great idea to make a new tournament to replace Funspot's this year John. You thinking of doing these every year?
