Alright people, we're coming down the home stretch here and I, like many others, am getting excited. A couple of outstanding points:
I've got to call the restaurant to confirm our reservation in the next couple of days. As it stands, I've got 19 people signed up as planning to attend. You, more or less, know who you are. If any of the other people planning to attend the Game Day have somehow overlooked our dinner the night before, I'm extending you a formal invitation. Just off hand (and I may have missed a few people), some of the folks coming to the Game Day that are not signed up for dinner are Toras, FyreHowl, LGodamus, Lord Ravinous, Hopping Vampire, TogaMario, Pielorinho, Spider, Riggs and Raven.
You (and anybody I overlooked) are all welcome to come but feel free to decline if you have other obligations or would rather not. I can promise that the food is good (assuming you like Italian) and not terribly expensive (if you're careful, you can probably get out of this place for under $10). And please feel free to bring a gaming or non-gaming spouse, significant other, child or any other guests.
If we can get 6 more people, we are guaranteed the "private room" by ourselves. But if we don't, we'll still have the place mostly to ourselves and we can drive off any interlopers by yelling "THAC0! THAC0!" at them.
Also, there are still a few people who seem to be at loose ends during the afternoon slot. I regret that we haven't had any other games officially come together for that time. I encourage anybody who wants to to bring along a module or other adventure you might enjoy running for the pickup-games that often occur.
If anybody WANTS to donate some sort of breakfast food (donuts, bagels, etc.) for consumption by the group, please feel free. I'm not going to try and organize something here because the Trinocon crowd is going to have snacks for sale and the shop downstairs is open for business. I doubt anybody will starve. But remember that we only have an hour between morning and afternoon slots so you may be well served to bring a lunch with you.
That's about all I've got for now. If you haven't previously expressed interest in the dinner on Friday night, please do so now if you're interested. But if you still aren't sure, feel free to drop by anyway. I doubt very seriously that they'll have any problems pulling over an extra table or two if necessary.
