Friday July 27th
GSL Grand Finals
7.40PM until ~10.00PM

The Metropolitan Hotel: 46 Grote Street, Adelaide CBD

Hello Adelaide Barcrafters!

We are showing the GSL Final this Friday night, but please note the time has been changed! GOM have moved the start time to 7.40pm Adelaide time (normally it starts at 5.30).

As a result, our booking now clashes with other bookings in the pub. However, the bar staff are always keen to see Barcraft work, so they have worked some diary magic to enable us to move from our usual spot to the dining/bar area about 830-9pm to avoid any problems. Please note this means there will be a changeover period, but we will do it between games so there should be minimal disturbance.

The important thing is that the GSL finals will be shown live once again from 7.40pm at Adelaide Barcraft at the Hotel Metropolitan!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ [Introduction] +

What began as a casual drink for gamers in a quiet bistro in Seattle in the northern spring of 2011
has grown exponentially into a craze that has united communities of gamers throughout the world.

… And now the global phenomenon known Barcraft is in Adelaide!

Adelaide , get ready to kick back in style - cold beer in hand - and watch the GSL semi’s and grand
finals on the big projector screen complete with surround sound. The room spills out onto the beer
garden for chilling out between games, and smokers are welcome here too. Being opposite the
famous Central Markets, the Metro’s food is great and there are snacks, full meals and desserts
available from midday until 8.30pm. Our generous hosts Damien and Brett are
enthusiastic about Barcraft and are always keen to help.

So spread the word - Barcraft is here in Adelaide, and it’s here to stay!

+ [The Venue] +

We have managed to source the back venue room at the Metro. The projector screen will project onto a white wall and a sound system will provide audio both for the inside room and the outside area. The toilets and bar are located ~10m from the room so nice and close.

+ [Under 18's] +

Under 18's will be allowed entry.
Legally you need to be accompanied by a guardian but he is happy for us to be the responsible adults to look after you. As a result you don't need to bring your parent's with you however any bullshit and you're out.

+ [Drinks] +

The Metro has a bar we will be able to utilise to purchase drinks. We are currently in negotiations with the venue as to some sort of "Happy Hour" or "Drink Specials". We will release details when finalized.

+ [Smoking] +

Usually the outside area does not allow smoking. We have negotiated to make smoking available outside should you wish to watch while smoking. However due to the lack of space available when possible we request you spoke between games preferably outside the venue.

+ [Parking and Transport] +

There are plenty of parking lots around the CBD but do note some of them close early in the night like 8pm and also will likely cost you a pretty penny. There are multiple bus stops just outside the Metropolitan and you can also catch the Tram to Victoria Square and walk ~500m)

+ [Other] +

We will have name stickers which you can use to show your name if you wish but will not be required.

If anybody is interested in sponsoring please contact Baldie on skype (bradley_baldwin). If we get some cash flow we can make the space look really nice or perhaps door prizes etc could be organised. Again we can cover costs ourselves but everybody loves sponsors

I won't be there tonight guys unfortunately! Simon/TheSneak will be holding the fort and is more than capable of flying solo. So be sure to give him plenty of love and support tonight!

Enjoy the night and I will see all of your beautiful faces at WCS/next Barcraft.

[Baldie]

Thanks all who made it out to barcraft on Friday! I hear there was a great turnout! Was most unfortunate I couldn't share the experience but definitely will be there in future. It's really exciting to hear the bar area with TV's worked at least to some degree (haven't had debrief with Simon yet) but this opens up so many options to us moving forward so look forward to bigger and better things!

Props to Simon/TheSneak for holding the fort so well!

[ToRSpookToR]

Marc wasnt there how rude

[TACeeSerps]

Awesome night, great work on getting it set up and running in the bar area!
Devastated that I had to leave straight after finals. Made other plans before Barcraft was announced for the Friday night. I will have to plan my social life around GSL in future.
Nice meeting everyone, see you all at WCS or at the next barcraft!
