Long-time friends and family of Game On! might recall having taken an evening in April of ’09 to go see singer, songwriter, and all-around phenomenal performer Jason Webley at The Mercury Cafe.

Well folks, he’s coming back to town, and we’d like to do the EXACT SAME THING.

Now there was a bit of discussion as to whether or not we were willing to close the store for a few hours, especially since the show will this time fall on a Saturday instead of a Tuesday. Our business is far more significant and regular now than it was back in those early months, and we’re more hesitant to close up during “peak” hours, so a determination had to be made.

We choose to go.

For some, this might mean several hours of inconvenience in the form of not being able to play some of dem vidja-games. For us, it means NOT having to split up our staff and community so that only SOME can go see this wonderful man perform, while others cannot. We’d much rather be together.

Above all, we like to consider ourselves purveyors of community, and gaming is but our medium of choice. More than the games themselves, it’s having all of you sitting and playing and shouting in the same room that really gets us off (eww). It’s seeing people befriend one another and develop bonds, whether in game or socially as well.

This is no different.

You see, we WANT you to come with us! We want you to join us for these precious few hours, and enjoy sing-a-longs, and wild dancing, and great music, and killer storytelling (and perhaps even some alcohol, yes)! We want to bring with us a group of twenty- NAY thirty, or even FORTY individuals to the show, to demonstrate our love and camaraderie both for one another and for Mr. Jason Webley.

In return, we believe you’ll find great value in the excursion. We believe you’ll have yourselves one hell of a time, one hell of a hangout, and one hell of a night to remember. And if that’s not enough for you, then we’ve also got one hell of a little incentive going..

Upon return to the store, anybody that came with us to the show gets any one drink, any one candy, and unlimited play for the remainder of the evening at a cost of only $10. Now that may not sound like much, but prepare yourself for the thunder:

We will not be ending the night at 4:00 a.m.

Say what?!

That’s right, for this super special occasion, we will be offering a special lock-in special because of how special all you handsome little specials are. That “unlimited” time will last for as long as you can keep your eyes open, even if it goes well into Sunday morning.

Speaking of Sunday, once we do eventually close from our Saturday show night sleepover, we’ll remain closed until Monday.

Sorry Sunday-goers! We recommend you come with us on Saturday!

So, to recap:

Saturday September 4th, 8:00 p.m. (opening bands) / ~9:30 (Jason Webley)

Now, I haven’t yet really given you any reason to love Jason Webley. For that, I’m going to have to ask you to visit our Facebook group, whereupon we’ll be regularly posting videos of the good sir over the next few days, just to whet your appetite.

Also, there’s a Facebook event page for the show.

Thank you for reading this needlessly long post, and we hope to see you there!

Love always,
Game On!
