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. |

Oh you'll get it back alright. If it means slapping some bitches in the face you'll get it back. July 22 is a Sunday. I'll be there. Party of 2 |

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. |

I've been told that the best hangover cure is beer. |

Come on, are anyone of really going to be awake before 11am on a Sunday? That's like, one of the ten commandments isn't it? On the seventh day everybody rested? |

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.
