When setting up a tournament, there's a lot of things to consider: Thanking the sponsors that help you with the event, making sure the people coming to the event are happy,...and drinking beer. Ok, we think about drinking beer a lot!

For the St. Valentines Day Massacre we decided to be efficient and solve several of those tricky problems in fell swoop:





We'll be giving one of these out to all the players taking part in the tournament, the volunteers, and sending them out to our sponsors.
A souvenir of the event, and a helpful tool, for Friday and Saturday when we hit the local watering hole and hold the 2nd annual '3 drink minimum Speed Painting contest'.

Competition was so fierce last year that we forgot to stop drinking and painting and kept going until 1 am.) I'll bring a timer this year to remind me. We hold this event at the local Ruby Tuesday's. We supply paints, brushes, and primed models. Entry fee is 3 drinks of your choice. Drink them, or find someone to drink them.

Can you overcome the bad light, the fuzzy brushes, and the horror of painting old heroquest and talisman models?

For quality control, I'm testing out my glass tonite while doing a bit of work on my orks. Very important, that quality control. )

This is one of the best ideas I've ever read.

Indeed. I may have to steal the idea for a local event.

What a top idea!

There was a healthy group of BigGunz, Warmongers, and Inner Circle. Most of us had a hell of a lot of drinks in us before we started.)
