my dad will do booster. so a for sure 2 from our group, Wanderer can probably make it tonight, so a 1 is probable there, and I'm really quite sure Sauce and Sauron will do it.

If I counted right, that makes 5, plus me equals 6.

hmm...so that means normal gaming from 8-12am...sounds like a plan..if I draft poorly I can find something else to do  . I don't have an extra 100 sleeves of a specific color though....

As much as I like a good nights sleep and I'm getting too old to stay up all night... well, how often do I get a chance to play T2 booster with this crowd?!?!?  I'll pay for it later but I'm down.  Don't reschedule the whole thing on my behalf but if all the other late comers don't mind staying up all night then cool.

 

I would LOVE to play midnight T2BD. If this happens, I'll be there.

Since it appears we will be gaining at least three players (one whom I been looking forward to meeting and two who are among my favorite people to lose to ) and not losing anyone if we push things back, we will plan on starting the T2 Booster at midnight give or take.

A note on costs: The plan is to give everyone player 2 identical RoA tins and two packs of Angel Wars for $15. Once everyone gets in if players want we can add TexP x1 or Kings x2 for $3, So the final cost might rocket up to $21 if everyone agrees to play with everything,

A note on Lost Souls: Please, please, please bring non-SA lost souls.

Gabe and Tracer, if you are too tired to drive back on Saturday evening, there is room available for both of you to spend the night. You guys might want to bring sleeping bags for that eventuality.

On a side note: So what are all the different events.  There has been some discussion about what we could do, just would like to know what we are going to do. I need to budget.

OK, here are the events and costs that I know of at this point...

*I'm joking about this.  The actual cost is free.

**I'm joking about this also. The actual cost is free even though Justin pushed hard for a tax on A New Beginning.

 What's this about snipes?  I thought they were extinct?

I think they are extinct in Iowa, but Minnesota still has a small population. To make sure you don't miss the hunt, look for the good Count and I wrassling Gabe and Tim into the van. That will tell you it is time to go.

OMGosh.....Emjay.. you are hilarious!!  I was laughing out loud in the college diner reading this.  I really appreciate the kind words, and the breakdown of what we are doing.  Gosh, I feel like I'm going to Nationals!  

Snipe hunting, I look forward to the combat of others against Gabe and Tim into a van....that is blog worthy.  

I'd like to say that I am bringing a Wii and games, but I'm not sure if there are going to be any TV's there. Can I get any confirmation on this? If there aren't any TV's at the church (I'll bet we could find one somewhere), would anyone be willing to bring one? It doesn't have to be big, just as long as it has audio/video plugins.

Do you have Wii Resort?  Because if the snipes go into hiding then I have a chance to show that I rule the day at 100 pin bowling. (****)   

**** indicates comment placement of others to indicate how lame I actually am at this game. 

Hey now, the Banana peels are insulted. They're a classic prank, and thus useful for something.

Rubbish. Refuse. Garbage. Waste. Styrofoam plates and cups. Banana peels. MJB's best deck.

Which one of the above doesn't belong?

Styrofoam plates and cups, since they're actually useful for something.

Oh yeah, how about this one...

Justin Alstad, Justin Timberlake, Justin Martyr, Just-in time Manufacturing, Jordan Alstad.

What do these have in common?

They're all named Justin.

Zing.

Indeed.

What's the difference between a Physicist playing TEAMS and an Engineer playing TEAMS?

The Physicist has a wonderful, vivacious, gorgeous wife waiting for him at home. The Engineer...


Aw crud, I need to find a new joke before June.

Curiousity question to all.....if anyone has  "words of discouragement" can you bring them this weekend?  I'll buy or trade for two of them..

If you're playing Speed Camp I will never play redemption with you again Kidding!
