"I'm with you, too!"
I shall let the words of sweet Luke Skywalker speak for me with regards to the con. I had a blast last year particularly the Blood Bowl (boo!), the miniatures games, the peanuts, the drive, and HUGE beers, and the Dwarven Dig. I can leave the "Flea-Market" concept in the sewer with the rest of teh waste.
I'm working on getting Denis there, cause you know, Denis and WWII miniatures go together like Dubya in a room full of unholy same-sex married couples!
Also, my surprise will NOT be the 15mm Battle Cry project promised last year, but instead, the N scale Cross Fire game that is well on it's way to completion! Yay! Another game we will never play!
