It’s Your Move...

Of course I'll be there! Its my job to chase the nursing students ;D

Will you chase me too?!!!!! Yipi!

The directions link is broken. These should work.

* Directions from Mercer's web site

* Google Maps

BTW, count me as an attendee.

I hope and expect to be there.

Will be there. Will also be providing the collection of Halloween-themed games.

Steve, I wish I could make it down for this, but it is going to be difficult to get away. It was good meeting you at TBGT. Cool to meet more gamers that are into some of the old-school stuff. I chronicled all the games I played. Next year I want in on a game of Descent!

Drat everything has to happen that weekend. I would be there, I live around the corner, but have to be in Auburn Alabama for a function. Granted I was going to go to an auction that weekend aswell...maybe next time.

Though I must ask, is the Mercer Meeples group open for all or just students?

In truth, I think about 6 out of the 40 or so people are students. Come on by sometime and get your game on.

By the way, I forgot to mention Door Prizes.

Several companies have generously donated games for the tournaments and for door prizes. The list is growing but currently we have a score of games from:

NorthStar
Rio Grande
Sacred Chao
Jolly Roger
Mattel
Z-Man
Boulder Games

We are grateful for the assistance these companies are providing in making this a truly memorable event and are really looking forward to the fun and exiting gaming we've lined up for the weekend.

Don't miss out! Come on over the MGEx!!

Dude, I would love to be there, if only to chant:

RACER KNIGHTS OF FALCONUS!!!

but alas,

I wouldn't be caught dead there!

As requested,
Bert

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out some way for me to be there. It isn't looking good thus far but I'm not giving up hope just yet.

Thats good to know, based on some new information I may actually be in town. If I am I will have Dune with me, always a con favorite.

Heya Ken, If you make it down I'll be glad to put you up in the guest room. The only proviso is that I live waayyy ot in the burbs.

We'll be there too....

Of course--

Two things...
The thread (under schedule) says Friday the 18th (that should say 19th)
Second, I didn't see anything about the strippers on here... don't you want people to KNOW?

Oops! Fixed. The strippers are for the 'private party' in the back room...

;D

Woot! its today. See you there
