eric Posted August 30, 2012 Author Posted August 30, 2012 Here is some more info about the surrounding area near the venue: For those who want to see the venue: https://www.facebook.com/events/512870628726577/ https://www.facebook.com/BigEGaming http://www.holidayinn.com/hotels/us/en/philadelphia/phlps/hoteldetail I really like where the venue is located. Parking is free. Chickies & Petes is down the street and going to be packed on Sunday for football. I'm getting some crab fries fasho. http://chickiesandpetes.com/location/south-philadelphia/ They just built a dining & entertainment complex a couple of blocks away which will definitely be poppin on Sunday night for the Eagles/Cowboys game. http://xfinitylive.com/ 5 minutes away you can get beer, doughnuts, liquor, Popeyes, smokes, cheesesteaks, Burger King, McDonalds, pretzels, KFC, strippers, etc. 8 minutes away you can get barbeque, WaWa, Wendys, Chick Fil-A, iHop, pizza, chinese, etc. I would suggest coming early and going out and see the actual city. $2 gets you on the subway and downtown in a couple of minutes where there's plenty of places to eat, shop, drink, go clubbing, and see shit. Don't just sit in the hotel all weekend playing games. Start planning.
Eshi Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Is the venue for NEC going to be bigger than the one for Summer Jam? Like, significantly? Packing all of 119 P4A players into the tiny "anime" room was not the best of times, lol. Even the main room was decently cramped.
DC Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 By the time NEC rolls around I'm gonna look like Big E.

Packing all of 119 P4A players into the tiny "anime" room was not the best of times, lol. Even the main room was decently cramped. Yes, the venue is bigger and we'll be getting more room. Also, you guys might want to plan on getting into Philly sometime Friday afternoon. There might be a small anime event the night before NEC...
Casshern Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Yo we in there! Summer Jam Part 2?! I know who I'm rooming with <3 I'll be bringing my setup again so count me in for that, Alan. I'll have P4, GG, BB and possible Gundam for a Sunday exhibition if I can get my phone's hotspot working for 4 setups.
Brice Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Yes, the venue is bigger and we'll be getting more room. Also, you guys might want to plan on getting into Philly sometime Friday afternoon.

eric Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 Players when I put the hotel link up please hurry up and get your hotel rooms, this place only has 230 rooms. We sold 487 rooms at nec12 last year. I will post the room link next tues. I'm trying to get a group discount rate a the Sheraton suites to its only 7mins alway.
Amadeus46Art Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 Question about reserving, is it pay at reservation or pay when you get there? I can't handle another hotel cost right after SJ lol
eric Posted September 4, 2012 Author Posted September 4, 2012 Don't miss out are I will come get you!
St1ckBuG Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I won't be helping anyone out with a room this time around. You have been warned. As soon as that link drops you better have your plans sorted out. Also, if you can bring equipment, such as Monitors/PS3s/Games let me know. It was a huge help at Summer Jam, and I only see more people coming to NEC. We'll also have more space this time around too!
OchiChernye Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 Definitely going to be coming to NEC! St1ckBuG, I'll be able to bring a PS3 and P4U just like at Summer Jam.
Amadeus46Art Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I'm just going to hope we don't have to bring CRTs this time?
Fluck Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I've been planning for this all year, hope I can make it and see everyone I've talked to on IRC there!
St1ckBuG Posted September 5, 2012 Posted September 5, 2012 I'm just going to hope we don't have to bring CRTs this time? That's the plan.
DC Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 Stickbro can you pick us up at the airport again? Who are you rooming with? <3
Reioumu Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 If you go to any East Coast tournament, it needs to be THIS one. I'm going as I do every year. Gonna miss the Sheraton (layout and rooms are too godlike), but we definitely need a bigger game room.
