Salty Cupcakes: SG Thursdays in LA

Mike_Z

Do you like Skullgirls? DO YOU LIKE CUPCAKES?
Well then...

Introducing Salty Cupcakes, an event that combines Skullgirls, cupcakes, boba, and not-being-held-at-my-apartment into one big desserty night.

When: Thursdays 7pm-??, beginning next week, September 13th.
Where: Frootsii, a 24-hr casual boba/snack/dessert hangout located at 14318 Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks. There's a big comfy couch, many types of delicious drinks and food to order, and parking underground. Also tables, chairs, a floor, lights, and lots and lots of breathable air.

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/eightysixed (when the event is going on, of course)

I will be bringing two PS3 setups (and possibly a 360), all patched. Bring sticks, and if you have a lagless monitor it would be much appreciated. If bloodlust dictates, I will run a tournament starting at 9:30 or so.

This is a weekly event, so get off your duff and show up.

Will there be a stream for non Cal citizens ?

Mike_Z

Not from me, although if anyone from around here is interested in streaming it I'd love to have them do so. There is internet...

render

Holy crap, everyone show up because it's going to be hella hype.

Also, I'll be there.

I will be starting to visit LA soon for work and shit, hopefully this coincides with my travels

This is making me want to hop on a plane.

And have disposable income to pay for said plane trip. Sadness. :(

Most SG action I'll get is Anime Weekend Atlanta at the end of the month.

gogogo! Let me live vicariously through you bastards lucky enough to have a local scene (seriously, fuck Jamaica).

So googlemaps is telling me this would be an hour long drive from Orange County. This is very innaccurate, isn't it? I'd be taking the 405 all the way there.

I haven't lived in Orange County for almost 2 bloody years now, and even I know it should only take you 45 minutes in good traffic and up to 2 hours in awful traffic.

But does that f*cking matter? GO THERE IRREGARDLESS!

not so saint

Well if no one's going to stream can someone at least film it? Or make some photos or something?

I would go if I didn't live in Edmonton AB Canada.

Good luck and much fun for any attendees!

That's all I was looking for. I've only driven to LA once and that was to LAX (I hate LA : \ ). It was not a pleasant drive. Just need to know what to expect. I get home from work around 6:30, eat, and take off. Worst case scenario I get there at like 9:30! Although I don't know if I'll be able to make it to this week's anyways ><. I'm always a bit cautious driving out this far since I have take someone else's car to do it.

KidPanda

DUUUUUUUDE! im so there. finally some SG action nearby... i keep missing the FFA biweekly stuff. but im definitely going to head out next week.
Ive been really getting back into SG lately, doing some early training on the office xbox before work.

edit: anyone that lives near the Venice/ Santa Monica/ Culver areas that would like to carpool hit me up on PM or something.

nekro_surge

Go there straight from work.

The desire to eat will make you want those salty cupcakes all the more.

alxreaper

wish I could go.

DaRabidDuckie

Given that I'm probably going to get kicked out of my house soon, yeah... I can probably move to LA for this. I'll sit on a street corner with an arcade stick and a sign that says "Will play Skullgirls for cupcakes"

BUYACUSHUN

Why it seems everything popping of in Cali? Hopefully someone films this and uploads. (So i can see exactly how much better i am. . .)

St. Minority

I wish there was action like this in the Midwest. I live in the air capital of the WORLD. You'd think that'd count for something! :( those of you who can go have fun! I'll just pout in a corner and be jealous.

nekro_surge

I will be going!!!!!!, drive aint that far. Its like an hour and a half or less, I think i just have to take the 210 towards Burbank and im there.

Termini

Life Goal:
Move to California.

Overlord_Haze

Too bad I am halfway across the US. Although if anybody wants to start up Salty Cupcakes in Texas, let me know.

Th3 Rofl Waffle

I wish I lived in LA. Im in SD, at least its in the same state. I would be to hold an SD version.

Th3 Rofl Waffle

Sanchez

I'll be there! Sorry if this dissuades people from going.

SpaceOutNightmare

Honor Basquiat

Very cool, I will probably go to this next week if not this week. Worth the 60 minutes drive from Riverside for sure. Glad this game is staying alive.

MegamanDS

lol, this place is delicious btw

render

Yeah, this place is MAD good. The people who run it are super nice and will listen to all sorts of requests to make your drink however you want it made. Tip them well!

Come to play the latest SG and hang out with me. :3

KidPanda

Hopefully theres another meetup next week, ill go for sure.

guitalex2007

If I had disposable income, I would literally grab a plane, get a hotel room AND rent a car so I could make one of these events.

Let us know how it went!

MWisk_2

Will there be a stream? I need something good for this day, turned out to be pretty shitty.

If not, I'll be happy with some form of update. Or a challonge bracket...

MIKEY PLS! BibleThump

render

Lots of people came! It was a good time. We didn't run a tourney since ppl were having such a good time playing casuals and hangin out, but we may run one next week. Thanks to everyone that came out! :D

guitalex2007
