Calgary Bronies Announcement

so the manager came to me this meetup and told me that in the future there MIGHT be a "pay per use" of the back room.
 this is good and bad.  the good thing is that it GUARANTEES us the room if we paid for it that night so we wont be booted out if there are conflicting events.
 the bad thing is i may need to crack down on donations or even set up a "entrance fee" of some sort. personally id rather make this as free as possible.
 i like the idea that i can be as open and friendly to everyone, and paying fee's makes it more exclusive.
 i find sometimes that the monthly fee ($25 or so) of keeping the online store up to be expensive. especially when no one is actually buying things from said store. (please buy our stuff from the store!)

so you might ask " where does my donations go into right now?"
well right now all donations go to the online store, events, (like the annual BBQ), emergency's(like last week, where i offered to take people to the movies instead, using the meetup's donations box to cover entrance,"" thanks Don for helping with the bill""), and contests ( like the BPC. believe me i have this huge bag of swag for the winners).

so an entrance fee will solve my monthly expenses of keeping the meet up operating much more smoothly if this comes to pass.

this is all still up in the air and speculation still. and i have not been told anything else about this possible "pay per use thing" for the back room because nothing has been placed in stone just yet. dont dont let it scare you too much.

thanks for reading.

Next set of fights!

ok so first up, feenie Vs Drew. seems Phoenix won 3-0. must have been a rough battle . either way, drew gets tossed to the second tier in hopes to wins till while feenie  goes to the second round!

as for myself. i just had my match,  we had one of our "out of 3 matches" and i won the first one. way to go mike! nice set up! kinda startled me at first with your strategy!

(UPDATE) well i got my arse handed to me in the second and 3rd match. oh well. guess thats what i get for not  practiceing before the tourni. Mike goes up!

check out the listings to see who you are up aginst next!

BPC news update!

so we had our first match! it was Dane V.S. Dragran! turns out that Dane was completely swallowed whole by Dragrans assault's! he will be moving to the next round!

Dane will be moving to the second tier. to hopefully regain some footing along with everyone else who will be knocked out early! who knows, he may make it to the end and win first place still!

remember guys to get your matches in A.S.A.P. the sooner we can get them going, the better for everyone!

Sentry Box dun goofed up.

Hi guys,

We were uninformed that the Sentry Box was planning a Magic The Gathering tournament on the weekend we were supposed to be there.
As such, we have been kicked from our space today, and instead we will be meeting at Chinook mall; Scotiabank Movie Theatre, to watch Lego Movie.

Those that want to come, the movie starts at 7:35pm. We will try our best to accommodate those that show up.

Sorry again about our arrangements. We hope that it did not inconvenience anyone too badly.
