60$? Wow, and I thought I complained about some of the venue fees here :/.
Sucks about the pad problems too, but hey, there are some good converters for the 360.
Anyways, I'm not attending the event, but I want to wish you guys the best of luck, and hope you guys have no troubles running a good BB tourney. Much respect to anyone who shows their sole support for this game in spite of the price.
I look forward to checking out what the west has to offer. Love from the east coast.
Good luck fending off Tokido if Tokido's joining the tourney.
