Saturday, November 14th promises to be a huge day for Save•Point.
Not only do we have the second round of our first ever Halo 3 Grand Tournament, and not only is it the last chance to qualify for the Grand Finals in December, and not only will we see upsets and down-to-the-wire finishes the likes of which Save•Point hasn’t seen before, but …
We’ll also see the return of an old friend. A friend we used to see on a regular basis, and who was there for us in our times of need. A friend who could be depended on when the chips were down and the stakes were at an all-time high. That friend’s name was …
Pizza.
The pizza will mark another huge comeback for the library as well. Author James Kennedy, who some of you may have met last year, will be with us again. I know LowBPhlat was at the last event, and he and Aggro were big fans of his talk. James even hooked LowB up with a copy of the book, and he was hooked on it right away. I was sad to hear what I missed out on last year, so I’m definitely not going to make that mistake again. Here’s a bit of info on the program he’s got going on directly after Save•Point:
“Meet James Kennedy, author of the young adult fantasy The Order of the Odd-Fish, a hilarious cross between Monty Python and Roald Dahl that was named as one of the Smithsonian’s Notable Books for Children of 2008. He will read from the book and lead a theatrical writing exercise/performance in which participants will duel as gods from the book. Tell your friends - this is a ‘can’t miss’ event!”
The rules for our tournament can be found here. The event starts at 10:00 a.m., and sign-ups end at 10:15 a.m. Don’t miss it!
the Grand Tournament series! Season 8 will feature teams of 4 battling it out across the various maps of Halo 3 in an attempt to see who will take home the first ever Halo GT Championship title.
This Saturday, Save•Point is hosting a double tournament once again, with Street Fighter IV and Guitar Hero III being the games.
