Heya/ - It was very educational! We shared the space with a One-Piece TCG Tournament full of shop regulars so it was fuller than expected in the basement game-space. Only Mayorstance were able to make it from our group, but we met a couple of the other guys and a few stepped-away from the tournament long-enough to receive a brief explanation of how we like to play and let it rip a little/ - I think that a well-advertised, regular event could draw-in a decent bit of attention from among curious cafe-event regulars/ - The One-Piece TCG event wrapped-up around 7:30 and the space emptied quickly, so I think it's still reasonable to ask Eric the owner to let us use this space routinely for small casual bey-meets at 6:00 or 7:00 PM (Sage's Portal closes at 9:00 on Sat)
If the same number of regular players attend the OP-TCG Tournament Saturday nights, I don't know if it would be a good idea to use Sage's Portal that day for dedicated Tournaments/ (since it feels best to have 3-4 hours blocked-out to host a tournament) - I'll have to ask Eric and possibly some of the regulars what they think/
😂 Bone-Dawg, we're aiming for Saturday, the 8th of February at 6:00 PM for our next casual bey-meet, so wiggle-free from work if ya can/ - I'm hoping I can draw another player-in for that date too/
Please let us know if you guys pick a (likely Friday by the look of it) day for a casual bey-meet in one of the other shops you've scouted, i'm very interested in visiting more potential event venues and getting their vibe/
and- BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: I'm happy to introduce a discord server i've assembled to help us coordinate and chat a little easier beyond this thread -and welcome everyone to join and invite their friends!
A quick heads-up, I've outlined a list of rules and general good-behavior expectations for people to observe within the discord server and require new members to react to the "rules" mini-novel using the prompted "emoji" to gain access to the rest of the server's channels!
