One Hit KO

A big hello to all you OHKOers out there. 

Nationals last year was great, but it just was missing some rock and roll.  That will not be the case this year.

I am here to confirm to you that there will be a Pokemon Nationals After Party this year.  On Friday June 29th, the first official day of Nats, there will be a concert after the Swiss rounds are over.  It will be held just a couple miles away from the convention center at the local VFW.  Here is the exact address: 1850 South East Street, Indianapolis, IN 46225.  It is just a little jaunt from the convention center, and the concert will start soon after Swiss Rounds end (officially scheduled to start somewhere around 7:30 local time).

The concert will be headlined by some of the craziest and most attractive indy rock bands from the midwest.  Here are the bands that will play:

• Good Luck Varsity.  Here is their link, here is a link to my favorite GLV song.
• PK Fire.  Here is their link, and here is a link to an episode of the Noozles.  Sorry PK Fire, but I couldn’t find a good video out there, you guys have the best name, that should count for something.
• Rival Summers.  Here is their link, and here is the link to my favorite RS song.

There will be a $3 cover charge that will be used to cover the rental of the venue.  This is a really cheap cost to join what will be a very cool event. 

I shall be there, it is sure to be a good time for all involved.  It will be nice to get a chance to connect with all different people from the Pokemon world and blow off a little bit of steam.  I know these bands are really cool and it should be a great time.

So make sure you guys plan to have a ride to the VFW right after Swiss rounds are over.  Mark your calendar now, cause it should be a great time.

Contest

Sure the tickets are cheap, but why not party on the tab of Pikkdogs?  To help promote the concert and as a part of my ongoing 200th article celebration, I will give away a pair of tickets to each of the six winners of our 2012 Nationals After Party Contest.

Here are the rules.  The contest will be open until 11:59 PM on May 15th, 2012.  The contest is open to everyone except me and Ed.  Everybody can play and win, but obviously you will have to be in Indianapolis for Nationals to redeem your tickets. You can enter multiple times, but you may only win once.

So here is what you need to do to enter the contest.  The way to win this contest is to send an email to me (pikkdogs@onehitko.com) and answer only one of the questions below.  Entries that answer more than 1 question will not be entered into the contest.  There will only be one winner for each answer, and the first person to answer the question wins that prize.  If you answer a question and are the first one to do so, you cannot be wrong, just as long as you write something like “Answer #2: Chris Webber”, you will win.  The final requirement is that the subject title on the email be “OnehitKO Contest Answer”.  So all you have to do is be the first one to answer one of the questions below, and have “OnehitKO Contest Answer” in the subject line of an email to “pikkdogs@onehitko.com” and you will win.  Here are the questions:

1.  What do you like most about the Noozles?

2.  Why do you think Pedro and Tom Bosley are enemies?

3.  What is the thing you like least about the philosophies of Soren Kierkegaard.

4.  Who would you like to see Pikkdogs interview next?

5.  What is your favorite band of all the bands that will play at the Nationals After Party?

6.  What food is better to have while shopping for furniture than meatballs?

 

So all you guys gotta do is be the first to answer one of these questions, and I will buy you two tickets for the 2012 Pokemon Nationals Unofficial After Party with Good Luck Varsity, PK Fire, and Rival Summers.  So get those emails out as fast as possible, and if you win I will send you an email that will ask you for your name, and those will go on a list that will get you in free to the concert.

So Long and Thanks for all the fish.
