Well we're planning out the final bits of our Vegas trip, and we'd like to know...what events (if any) will be occurring on Friday?
Like will there be a 40k teams game like last year?
Any details available on this?
Thanks man.

You're in vegas and you can't find anything better to do than play in a team tournament?

Vegas is boring.
I grew up in Philly, so I had Atlantic City to figure out Casinos' are a ripoff.
Vegas is just a shinier ripoff.
And I'm not taking family, so the family oriented side is pretty boring too.
If it makes you feel better, we'll hit the Star Trek experience and Quarks for sure. Besides that, got any good geek stuff to go do?

I can't imagine ever getting tired of a town where they have trucks that drive around with giant billboards on them with a pick of a super hot chick, a phone number, and nothing else.

Which vegas have you been too? Those chicks are always fugly. I mean, can't you hire someone without a gut and their brown roots showing?
For the record, I've been to Vegas on business over a dozen times in the last 2 years. Best place: Nine Fine Irishmen in New York, New York. Trust me, get their early, have dinner and stay until Ri Ra comes on!

If you're calling up and getting chicks with guts and brown roots, I suggest you:
1. Don't pay
2. Call a different number
It's vegas baby, if you can't find it there, you can't find it anywhere.

well, personally I think you pay twice.
there is the agreed upon amount and then there is what you take away with you.. but I think that's a bit too direct no?

Ed, I wasn't clear. I was referring to hiring the "models" that appear on the billboard trucks, not the actual hookers themselves (BTW, Dave Taylor is never going to post in this thread now).
Yeah great, a whole bunch of gamer nerds going to stip clubs. That's fantastic.

Hi Stelek
Yep, we'll be running Friday afternoon events at all the Grand Tournaments. The doubles events in Vegas last year were very popular, so I expect we'll run those specifically in Vegas and probably at the other two as well.
We hope to have GT registration rolling by 12 noon and the Doubles events running by 2pm.
Cheers
Dave

Do you know if you are going to change the force org charts like Adepticon, or are you still going with 2, 1000 point armies? The reason why is that if you have 6 falcons in one army it is a bit much.
