Watching the archive, streaming issues were resolved. Looks like they decided to stream 5 hours of AE and couldn't spare 5 minutes to stream the VF5FS gf's? Or maybe there were other issues that stopped them from streaming the gf's?

Also, it wasn't L_A's PS3; Potatohead was saying that his Capture Card was overheating.

I never thought to ask about putting Grand Finals on stream yesterday. Maybe someone else did. But don't blame Level|Up without knowledge. Next time I will think to ask. Last night was nuts in Super Arcade.

Yes. That is exactly what I mean. A post in the forums/Events on the sidebar. Just anything to let the local community know that the players are around and want to play.

I just want to make myself perfectly clear.
My attention was not to bash someone's community or scene. I even stated "you know who you are",in other words if you give what you can to the VF scene then that statement was not meant for you.

It was meant for the people who complain about what we as a community(not just California or New York) are doing and they themselves are not doing anything at all.

Ok now to the event last night.
One word "AWESOME". I am not sure what got people to show up. If it was Twitter, Facebook, or VFDC. All I know is the place was packed.

It wasn't just for SSF4AE, people were there for Virtua Fighter. To put it into perspective. The big Socal Events average 30 people, EVO's in the past were about 30 people. Last night we had 31 and for VF that is huge.

It let's me know that what we are doing is working.
Here is what Socal has done and maybe this can help other scenes achieve the same results:

* VFDC Matching Making Thread: this should be mandatory as the
majority of our players go here first.
* Facebook Page: Started with a group but made it a Page so it
would be graphically pleasing
* Twitter Page: Constant and quick updates about the scene and
what others are saying about VF
* Google+ page: just to have, but will soon be updating.
Especially when it comes to the Hangouts
* Twitch page for local streaming
* Podcast: this is for the VF Community overall, but it's also a
nice way to plug where we are from and how they find us
* Talking to people at the events. Letting them know how to find
us and get updates on upcoming events

Looking at the past, for VF that is huge.

May it get bigger and better.

40+ next week. Let's DO IT.
