Silent Auction of Music Memorabilia, Raffles, GH Tournament, and Concert by Steady Echo and Moxie!

Sponsored by Red Octane and Daisy Rock Girl Guitars, and brought to you by Operation: Save Second Base and the San Diego Sports Club.

Saturday August 11, 6 pm- 2 am (21 and up only!) at the San Diego Sports Club at 1271 University Avenue.  (Yeah, the same one as seen in Maxim Magazine as one of the Top Ten Bars in the Country.  We’re that cool.)

No charge to enter the tournament!  You heard right, the price is NADA!  Yeah, it’s free, but hey man, it’s a charity event.  Leave some moolah at the door!  (We’re suggesting $10, but give what you can.)

Anyone can enter the tournament – All skill levels welcome!  Prizes for each skill level.  Even if you have never played before, you can still win a prize for Best Style!  Come in character and get a special gift.  Only 8 slots per Skill Level.  Refer an Expert Level player or a chick (who actually competes) and get a special prize! 

Pre-register and guarantee yourself a spot.  Call Robert at 858.349.2793, email at robert@esmiinc.com, or send a message through http://www.myspace.com/operationsavesecondbase.

All times are approximate.  We’ll get to everything when we do, man.

Rules -

a)  Single elimination on a PS2; no Hyperspeed unless agreed-upon by both players.  Or unless we forget to change it back.  Or if we just want to watch you panic for our entertainment.

b)  NO Free Bird, Fall of Pangea, War Pigs or any other ridiculously long song (until Finals).  We have things to do, man.

c)  No Red Lottery, or Yes We Can.  Dude, I’d rather stab my ear with a pencil than have to listen to those songs ever again.  Feel free to nominate other songs for elimination!

d)  Early Rounds - Easy from the first two sets, Medium from the second two sets, Hard and Expert by draw from remaining sets and bonus songs.

e)  Finals - Best of three.  Each player picks a song; ties are broken by songs chosen by event organizer.

f)  Contestants may use their own controller.  All controllers must be functionally unmodified.  That is, no cheating…c’mon, it’s just a game.

g)  Prizes are awarded to the winner of EACH level.  Special prize for Best Girl Rocker and best “style” (as determined by event organizer)!  And, WE decide what’s “special”.

h)  Event organizer, at his discretion, may bump a player up or down a level, based upon their playing ability.  Yeah, that’s right, no sandbagging.

i)  If you pre-registered and don’t show up by the time we’re ready to start, we reserve the right to kick your lazy butt to the curb and give your spot to someone else.

j)  Event organizer, at his discretion, may make up any other rules, if not just to keep himself entertained.

k)  Oh yeah…simply being at the event gives us the permission to take pictures and stuff.  So, if you’re planning to run for President, don’t do anything stupid.  But, if you’re not…feel free to be an idiot!
