Remember folks, you can purchase a Weekend Pass from the Promenade for $40 to cover all your tournament fees for the weekend and get some bonus swag!

If you play in both the 1E and 2E Continentals, or one game's Continental and the matching side events opposite the other, it already pays for itself - and there's still a whole day of games on top of that!

Better deal for some than others, and you can always pay per event too. Like I said, you play all day both Friday and Saturday and that's your $40 worth right there. If you can only make one day or travel timing doesn't work, there's options.

It's definitely not the worst time of year to have to take an extra day (or two) to hang out before or after the events either - summers are awesome here. Coming right after 4th of July weekend some folks could even make a whole week out of this.

Need another reason to come to Minnesota this summer for Continentals?

Star Trek: The Exhibition Beaming to Mall of America

The exhibit opens next weekend (May 16th) and runs through the fall, including during Continentals weekend. I was kind of hoping that it would be the same time since they announced it was coming a couple months ago, but today was the first mention of the show dates.

If you haven't made your plans yet, now you've even got more to look forward to!

Well, there's also this big baseball game going on the Tuesday evening after NACC weekend.

Just sayin'. ;)
Sadly it's $Texas :( I had a friend offer me a strip of tickets (ASG + HR Derby + Old farts game)... at cost... for $650... for one seat. :(

My OTSD boxes were starting to show the years of wear and tear, so I bought 6 new ones. So now I have 7 sets of OTSD crap.

At GenCon, in the past, we've done multiplayer battle royal. It's the only 1E I've played in a decade (one year we did Ironman, wear you have to tear the dead people in half and toss them in the middle of the circle spaceline). Basically it's great, unless you hate fun.

If there's some interest in doing this on Friday or Saturday night let me know and I'll toss them in the suitcase.

Except maybe hungover 1e. Been there done that hope to not repeat it :)

Haha! True that. A 1E board already looks like what I feel when I'm hungover :P

Done.
