Have you ever been sitting in front of your bigscreen TV at home watching the Alliance Tournament and thought "My god, I'm just like the people who watch the Super Bowl or the World Cup or the World Starcraft Championships, except that they get to watch their sports in bars"?
Well, a few of us Coloradans are talking with the Blake Street Tavern in Downtown (Park Avenue and Blake Street) to see if they can host us an Alliance Tournament X viewing party on July 22nd from 9am-6pm, complete with big screen TVs in our own out-of-the-way viewing room.
Now, before we drop the $500 deposit, I want to find out if there are enough people interested to make this worth it. Post below, shoot me an evemail, or mail the EveColoradoMail mailing list if you're interested. |

They do indeed have cold beer. When I was there to watch the Starcraft World Championships, the availability of stuff on tap was quite thin, though. Reasonable food, and the staff was friendly to the nerdy masses. |

It looks very likely that we'll be doing this. I'll confirm by this weekend at the latest. |

I don't think we'll need to slap any bitches. The wait staff were very nice (if not a little perplexed by our nerdiness, but that's to be expected) at the Starcraft event. |

Glad to have you guys. I think limited fisticuffs will be fine, as we're segregated from the rest of the bar in a room that will hold 100 people 
Looks like we'll also have prize support from CCP in the form of things from the Eve store, as long as I can get a semi-accurate headcount. I'll update the OP when I find out more. |

Nothing like bright lasers on the backdrop of velvety black space to cure a hangover, amirite?
Edited the first post with a link to RSVP (also included below), if you all wouldn't mind (better prizes from CCP the more people who confirm they're coming.

Confirming that we're having them open early at 9 so we can watch ALL THE MATCHES.
Of course, I don't really expect most people to arrive until Noon or so. I wouldn't be arriving before then either, except I'm hosting. |

Shameless copy-pasta from my email:
Hey everybody,
I just wanted to send out a reminder that the viewing party is *this coming weekend* Sunday, July 22nd. We'll be at the Blake Street Tavern from 9AM (two hours earlier than they normally open) until 6PM.
CCP is providing prizes, so we'll be having various contests throughout the day:
Eve trivia and ship identification Predict-the-winner Most hilarious commentary contest (we'll have a limited number of slots open for this) Random drawings Ingame ISK betting
We'll have prizes from the Eve store that both Eve players and non-playing Eve enthusiasts can enjoy.
If you have any questions prior to the event, feel free to email me, and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.
