I should be there, pending a day pass from Mrs Kyoto.

Me and a couple of others should be there. Oni, xdefton3sx, and some other friends from my alternate game "Real Life (tm)".

I didn't even know about it, but I'll probably be up there sometime.

I'm almost tempted to go, but the only thing I could kinda-sorta use is some paints, and even then I'm mostly using Vallejo. And I'd probably be tempted to be That Guy and wear a Dream Pod 9 shirt...

I'm planning on stopping by to check it out, I need to pick a couple things up, and I'd like to meet the manager/staff and see if it's going to be a good place to game.

I wonder what their policy is on unpainted armies...I wouldnt mind bringing my new GK force to test out, but it sure as heck aint painted yet!

maybe........

Given that it's been years since GW has had the 3 color minimum rule, they're not going to care at all.

I'm definitely going to be showing up. I'm just a little miffed that the BB couldn't have been in Bowie back when I lived in Annapolis. That would've been nice.

I wish I could, but that pesky "Real Life" game has me in its clutches as well. Wish we could have one of those in Virginia...

You're going.

If you're not aware, Saturday is the Grand Opening.

Bowie, Maryland 20715

My girlfriend and I will be going hopefully

I'm going to miss the opening weekend but I/ll be up there the weekend after. Are they doing anything special for the opening? Where in Bowie is it?

no way am in aus

Uh yeah, thanks for sharing.

Not that you guys know me, but I might. But' it's soooo far away....

I'm in Seattle currently and Bowie is pretty far out of my normal radius of travel. I may wander down there one day to see it. Pretty happy with my local GW store farther out in the wilds of maryland.

Good that that part of town got a bunker tho. Hope the staff is good.

I might stop by, not sure. I don't need any models but I might pop in for a while just to check it out. Dunno.

Bad timing...I have a final Tuesday I need to study for. Would love to meet Kyoto.

It's all but set in stone that I'll be there.

If anyone cares to chat with me. Look for the guy in the brightest green polo shirt you can imagine.

I used to game at the Portal in Bethlehem, I'll be there as well, do we know each other?

Tonights plan is many many foot rubs for Mrs Kyoto and then sneaking out the door before she wakes up tomorrow.

Look for the I 'heart' NY tee shirt and it'll be me.

Oh FUDGE! The Andrews Air Force Base airshow is that weekend... Gotta see if I can do both.

I'll be the guy in the red shirt with the colorful tattoo sleeve smiling like a kid in a candy store, black rings around his eyes because oni and jordan made him wake up at 730 in the morning.

I'm going to try and make it since I only live about a half an hour away. I'm supposed to be off this weekend but, knowing my boss, he'll call me up to tomorrow saying he desperately needs me to work...

If I do show up I'll be the guy looking at models and then not buying any because I'm poor due to buying too many models. It'd be nice to finally meet some of the people I so frequently interract with on Dakka. Especially since so many seem to live so close.

It figures that today is the day the AC would break. Still the place is neat, and I'm the guy in the green shirt and finefine brown hat, if anyone is looking.

Hey Kyoto, I missed you in Japan in 2008-9, maybe I'll see you here.

Had a good time, won one, lost one, learned that the Collasus is worthless and the Hydra is my one true love.

It's good to know i"m not the only one who had a blast at the bunker opening. Although, the AC could not have picked a worse day to break. Also, the run-off from the broken AC could not have picked a funnier place to start dripping (right on Oni's models)!

And mine!

It was funny though, first game I ever had rained out.

battle bunker pics! Thanks to everyone there! kyoto i wanna play you next we meet!

I love the nukes!

Thanks for the pics, my IG doesn't look half bad in them.

Hopefully I'll see you at dakkacon.

Photos of the event even though it happened like a week ago!

If I took a picture of you and you don't want it up, just ask me to remove it or have a mod do it. Whichever is faster/you prefer.

Scott (a friend of ours) and Oni. The guy in the middle is some guy who jumped into the photo

Some photos of the amazing-looking Imperial Fists display at the back of the building.




Oni, seen here examining the Battle Bunker's fine stock, purchases only the choicest brushes.


Kid_Kyoto and Oni throw down on one of the many tables.




Scott and Andy, another friend, get in a game of their own!
