"It's a time-honored maxim that when one door closes, another opens; for proof, look no
further than Michael Milken (who parlayed prison time into philanthropy) and Brigitte
Nielson (who parlayed Sylvester Stallone into Flavor Flav). As for us, we're not going to San
Francisco after all, but we are giving you free beer.

For personal and professional reasons (we have full time jobs, one of us lost his driver's
license), Wiimbledon's not going to make it to San Francisco this year. Yes, that's chock full
of fail. We'd like nothing more than to fly one of you yahoos out to SF and kick it west coast
style. But in recompense, we're blowing out Brooklyn Wiimbledon (still set for Saturday,
June 7th, at Barcade) in better-than-ever, high-stepping style. A few glorious details:
Open bar, sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery. Your friendly neighborhood BB is providing
three hours of free beer at Barcade, 12 noon until 3pm.

Prince tennis apparel, rackets, and sneakers for winners.Prince is sponsoring some of the
prizes for this year's tournament. Winners get mad swag.

Brunswick Wii Bowling Bags for winners. Some winners will also receive rad baggage.

More info on prizes and such to come. If you or someone you know would like to sponsor
prizes, drop us a line.

We're also proud to announce that Wiimbledon is an official event partner with NY's first-
ever Internet Week, alongside well-steezed folks like The Onion, Comedy Central, Yelp, and
Flavorpill, just to name a few.

Much love, Wiimbledon"

Ladies and gentlemen, Dtoid NY is going to Brooklyn, New York to participate in the
Wiimbledon tournament. Remember, folks this is event is 21+.

If you would like to go with some of your fellow D-toid members for some good times and
good drinks, please e-mail me at dtoid.newyork[at]gmail.com so we can coordinate our
plans.

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!
