DC is a four-hour drive...any information on the prizes?

I'm guessing with a $10-$15 buyin, there might be some sweet prizes in store...

Depends how many register for the tournaments... if we get a good pool we can do cash prizes, otherwise we can cut some of the buyins and play for the glory! (and the Guitar Hero paraphernalia =p) We're not taking any money yet but would like to see who's interested.

Most of the contestants will be from the immediate area but I'd really like to see some pros as well =)

I can tell you that 2 friends and I are driving from Virginia Beach, so you may have a bigger turn out than you think.

I'm going to bring my Modded Elmo guitar too

Haha, excellent... I've seen that thing around the interweb, can't wait =)

We've gotten a pretty good response so turnout should be up there. In addition to the RedOctane giveaways, we'll announce the cash prizes for each tournament after registration (2:00-3:00pm, in person, day of the tournament).

Also, not that it matters much here, but we're adding a hard bracket to both games.

I am so irritated that I am in Japan right now.
