Oni-Con 2011 Galveston, TX Oct 28-30

[Giby]

Oni-Con is returning for its eighth year, and as usual, the arcade room will be where all the magic happens.

Located right on the beach:

The Galveston Island Convention Center
5600 Seawall Boulevard
Galveston, TX 77551

This year will be the biggest year for us yet. We have several tournaments going on this year, and plenty of prizes, as always. Tournaments will be held for SF4AE, KOF XIII, MvC3, BBCS2 and more! If the tournaments aren't for you then we have a plethora of games provided by Big Bruno ranging form classic Neo Geo fighters, to random funky versions of Street Fighter Alpha 3 for Naomi. Classic games will be on display as well, including Pinball (my fav!)

Want a chance to make a little money? We are going to have a special station set up to challenge a player for $5 and if you can somehow win, you will make double, triple... well, lets just say you have a chance to make out like a fox. The game will be chosen by one of our special guests.

Sponsored by www.arcadeshock.com, www.snk-capcom.com, Hori, Qanba and SNKPlaymore. If you are in the area, be sure to make it to this event. Prizes from all parties mentioned will be given out to tournament winners, and will also be raffled out.

I'll be there if I can, but having enough gas money to make it might be a problem. Need to try to find someone to carpool with.
