A side note here: the original article mentions an event on this evening requiring alcohol. When this event was originally scheduled, there were plans for the return of Aberdeen Anarchy to the US. This event will not be able to happen this year, as the Sexecutioner is not able to travel this year for Worlds. That being said, Malört shots are still de rigueur for the Basement of Doom.

If all these tournaments can’t tempt you to come to Chicago in early October (a lovely time of year here in the City of Big Shoulders), maybe the promos shown in this article will seal the deal. Thanks to Art for their usual amazing work on these! Who can spot the Easter egg?

And last, but certainly not least, I would highly recommend anyone planning to come to Chicago to get their COVID-19 vaccinations, especially for anyone planning to attend the Thursday events and/or stay in the Basement of Doom. I am cultivating two small humans who are not yet old enough to get vaxxed. We want this to be a safe, fun event for everyone.
