Houston Airhockey has a new home! (0 comments)
For four and a half years, Houston Airhockey thrived at SRO. With 4 Airhockey tables, plenty of space, great food, alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages and lots of players, we hosted more than 220 weekly tournaments, the 4 greatest World Championships the world has even knows, and a handful of other major events. But as the move The Matrix said so truthfully, "Everything that has a beginning, must have an end." In February of last year, with only 1 day of notice, SRO closed its doors and went out of business. The community was devastated. Our perfect environment - gone - just like that and not a thing we could do about it!
Andrew Flanagan immediately got the ball rolling and got us into Speedys. Speedys had been around for years and had hosted events back in the late 80s and early 90s. But it just wasn't the same. Sure they have Airhockey tables. But there's hardly any seating. No alcohol. Kids everywhere. Poor lighting. $1 per game. It worked, but it has been anything less than ideal.
Well, I am pleased to announce that a new home has been found. And I kid you not, it is BETTER than SRO. It is newer, cleaner, just as spacious, and we have 4 tables that are owned and managed by UNAP. The owner has been super supportive and very accommodating. They have awesome food (including crawfish), the cleanest and most luxurious bathrooms I have ever seen in a bar, and the airhockey environment - well you have to see it for yourself.
Tonight we have our Grand Opening event. We are capping the participation at 40, and I suspect we'll hit that cap. Everybody in Houston is coming - some to play - some to watch - some to say they will watch but you and I both know that when the tables calls, none can resist!
Also tonight UNAP will launch a new Airhockey brand that we think will lead to greater world recognition and growth of our community. Come out to the event to see the new brand!
See you tonight Houstonians and any of you foreigners from Austin or Dallas if you have the inclination to make the drive.
