Get your list of games you are bringing in quick. The free pass offer goes away like Jack o Lanterns after Halloween (deadline is October 31).

Is there going to be a poster dropped at my shop again? I hang them on the wall in my gameroom...

Keith was supposed to have some at the warm up party a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have a chance to make it. But you can download and print some if you want.

Can't make it this year. I'll be having surgery on the 7th. Was hoping to meet a few locals. : (
 
I wish I had seen this thread a long time ago... I would've loved to have brought down some gear and set up a video repair station.
