Awesome to hear, and I hope it's not going to turn into the Amazing Race trying to get to the store in time for the start. It's about 20-30 minutes from the airport by freeway, no pressure. ;)

Let's light this thread up. Ok. Continentals are about a month away. Who's coming in from outta town? Who in town is planning to play? Hopefully, we can get some responses from all corners of the greater MN play group. I'm looking at you, Illinois, Iowa, and Ohio. Kev, what's the presumed attendance from the SD crew? Ditto Hayes regarding the Fargo contingent.

Lastly, where are the assembled Champions at in terms of pre-registration? This seems really light at present, but I gotta believe we are going to throw at least a dozen or even two dozen of our local guys / gals in the mix. Who is that gonna be?

I don't know if anyone else is bringing the Illinoise. I can't due to my husband and son being in a wedding that day. I'm kinda obliged to go. *sigh*

Yeah, not much one can do there, especially when they're IN the wedding. That's got to be one of the most popular weekends for weddings, personally know of 3 couples married on 7/11, though I know that's also a "lucky" date.

Put Mike O'Shogay in your trunk. He'll fit. :wink:

EDIT: Amber, are you not playing 1E? I see Michael and Ken are pre-reg'd, so I assume you will all be here Friday morning. :cross:

Thanks, Maggie. If you wouldn't mind, plant a bug in the ear of Al, Corbin, Casey, Ed, Brian, etc. to see if they can't caravan up for this gig. Jer is promising HUGE prizes, and I have a few artifacts from my personal stash to add to the pool.

This is it, boys and girls, the biggest gig in MN this year! You gotta be there!

It wouldn't be cool if our regional was bigger than continentals. :wink:

Luckily (?) my flight got moved up to 6:50, so I get in at 8:00 now. Is anyone going to be in that area, around that time where I can hitch a ride?

Also, is anyone heading down I-35 after the event? And I could hitch a ride? Looking at you van Breemans :) I might only need a ride down to Faribault or Clear Lake.

You Wastelanders need a better promoter. Nobody gives a crap about ratings. Sell the sizzle boys!

You are going to bill this as some sort of "Minnesota Night of Champions". Then the joke is on you clowns when a fly-in wins your Continentals.

At midnight look up at that Friday the 13th full moon and tell your pagan god to ready for blood. In four weeks the Minnesota Massacre begins.
