Everything But Expert
2023-07-29 10:00 - 21:00 | Round 1 Millcreek Mall, 825 Millcreek Mall Blvd, Erie, PA 16509
A Teaser…The sun shines down upon the lake shore; and the residents by the bay, quiet and reserved, stride about on foot and on wheels to go away or to go home to their weekend destinations once more…
Late July encapsulates what a perfect summer vacation should be: warm weather, sweets by the water, a six-hour drive from traffic and crazies… it’s a break away from the grey or the green and out toward the blue, with the Great North close to your door, and pleasant waters always in view…
Erie is perhaps a venture not exactly exotic to the four-panel traveller, but more likely off the beaten path. However you get here, remember to bring everything along with you. Everything… but the Expert chart.
Event Info:
“Everything but Expert” is a one-day, intermediate-difficulty local DanceDanceRevolution (DDR) A20PLUS Single tournament at Round1 Bowling & Amusement in Millcreek Mall, Erie, PA.

RIGHTS is the spiritual successor to the D.O.W.N.S. and U.P.S. tournament series, both of which were a fun social weekend, loosely organized around a StepMania tournament. Competitors create new stepcharts specifically for the event. Some people take it seriously and make stepcharts that they’ll be good at. Others submit shitpost-tier stepcharts in the hope that someone will end up having to play it. Some people get very creative with Lua scripting. Overall, it’s a pretty fun time.
When is it?
RIGHTS occurs annually on a Saturday+Sunday in January or February.
Where?
