Okay, here's my deal, in numbered points, and make of it what you will:
(1) My April is a right mess. I am free none of the days Jaeger is free.* Basically the only days I am free are April 2nd, April 16th, and 29th/30th.
*This is not an attempt to avoid losing to him; I always learn something when I (inevitably) lose to him.
(2) Matt Hayes @karonofborg13 and Ben Johnson are coming down the weekend of the 15th to play Magic. They are free Sunday the 16th and want to play 1E. I also want to play 1E, and won't get another chance this month.
(3) I am inviting Matt and Ben to my house to play Trek that day. I'm tentatively putting down noon to 4 PM but I have to talk to Matt about what time works for him with the long drive home. My expectation is that I'm playing a three-round tourney with just me, Matt, and Ben, because the rest of y'all are (I assume) playing on April 23rd, at some time and location Joe and Kevin are about to figure out.
(4) However, you are all invited to come on the 16th as well and I'd love to have yinz. (I'd be happy to change start time to accommodate long-distance drivers as needed.) If there's an event happening on the 23rd, I don't want to steal its thunder or undermine its attendance. I want the 23rd to be a great success. And if you happen to want to play Trek two weeks in a row, there's no reason you couldn't come to both.
(5) My basement only really has room for two simultaneous games. So if there are more than 5 participants pre-registered for my event on the 16th, I will move it to the R.H. Stafford Library (aka The Jungle) in Woodbury. Again, I'm only expecting me, Matt, and, Ben, but, if you do come, please pre-register so we don't end up over-stuffing my basement!
(6) Event link is here:

Totally different topic: Hobie's concern/suggestion about occasionally playing somewhere that's a little more reachable for
him is well taken. Everyone deserves to occasionally not have to drive a light-year, and maybe we could lure @Iron Prime / Dan Van Kampen out of hiding in Chaska if we held an event closer to him. However, I don't know the West Metro and can't work out a location for a casual event on short notice. If Hobie could make a suggestion (ideally in the St. Louis Park / Edina area?) I think we should hold our next event, maybe our regional, there.
