~~~~~~~~~~
December 10th 2:30 pm

Winter meet time! This time we will be heading to Sweet Hereafter Cheesecakery on Quinpool for some awesome cheesecake. They also serve cakes, cupcakes, organic team, laughing whale coffee and pop shoppe soda as well. After the desert is totally open, so if we feel like going for a walk, or a movie or some Christmas shopping we can decide afterword! Please remember to dress for the weather as frost bitten toes and fingers are very un-lolita. So get those long Johns out to wear under tights/socks/bloomers and keep yourself warm! As always guests are very welcome!
Buses that run in the area are as follows:

Run down the street:
6 Stonehaven
20 Herring cove/downtown

Drop off at Oxford:
1 Spring Garden to mumford/downtown
14 Leiblin park/downtown
58 Woodlawn.
From the Oxford the Cheesecakery is about a 5-10 minute walk toward the end of the street, past the fitness FX and Fast food restaurants.

Holiday Haymakers – A Tekken 6/3rd Strike Tournament & More…

Posted by Marsha on Saturday, November 26, 2011

Original post found here

Description

In the cold, cold winter it’s a Tekken 6 & 3rd Strike tournament!

The theme is simple: to shine some light on games that didn’t get as much attention over the past year as halifax’s big 3. During the day we’re going to have the store open for free play and have lots of games on hand for people to have fun with. On top of that we’ll be having small fun tournaments with some of the games that you secretly love. If you like casual gaming & fighting games in general this is for you!

Then in the evening the main events begin! 3rd strike and tekken were both big successes at FFI in September and now it’s Halifax’s turn to represent!
