I would like to meet up and put a face behind some of the names on this board. I will only be playing the team tournament and doing coverage of the event with my trusty camera.

Comparing tournament records is another form of e-peen measuring.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

Several of us will be at the Team Tournament(really? Wouldn't have thought what with two teams named Dakka Detachment!), so you may even face us across the table.
I'll be getting there Friday afternoon(along with WhiteDragon), so I vote for a Friday meetup. Then again, I also vote for all of us Dakkites finding a few unused tables and playing an all Dakka Apoc game, but I'm a little crazy...

I'm bringing my Fallen Angels to the Gladiator (and Championship, if I get lucky with the waiting list), and will be running around in a black Cold Steel Mercs t-shirt, along with around seven other guys. We've got two teams again this year, "Enlisted Men" ( IG) and "Crusaders" ( SW & SM crusade army). I'm one of the Space Wolf players this year. I'm six feet tall and slender, with a widow's peak and a straight brown ponytail down past my waist. I'll put Mannahnin on my badge.

You can still come, if you’re local. There are a metric ton of seminars and other events, and if you haven’t been before, the Team Tourney at least is well worth seeing just for the spectacle of the displays and everything.

That's a very Imperium-centric sign you've got there, Augustus. I'm not sure my bugs will feel comfortable in the hands of a creature with so few limbs....
As usual, I'll be wandering around on Saturday w/a big yellow dakka burst on my back, when I'm at my most obvious. Otherwise, I'll show up Thursday to help setup, and I'm staying through Sunday night.

Sunday I'll be in the 40k championship. I think I had them add my nick to my badge this year but if not I'll write it in.

Getting my broom incase there is shenanigans.
|
Thursday
I fly into Midway at 3:45pm and hitch a ride with my teammates Yackface and Jathkin to Lombard, IL.
I have a seminar that night where we will be discussing tactics, and after that I will be playing a demo game against Spacecurves who is the captain of the American ETC team.
Friday
I start my day with the Gladiator Tournament. Not my favorite event by any means, but there is nothing else going on during the day, and I have to play in it if I want to be a part of the ETC.
Then after that wraps up at 10:00pm I am going to Golden Demon winner Chris Borer's seminar on how to paint better. I want to get some tips on painting red and gold for my upcoming pre-heresy Thousand Sons. That seminar should get out around midnight.
Saturday
This is where the pain begins. I am use to going to bed at 1 or 2am Pacific Time, so when I go to Chicago I just lay in bed until my body knows it's time for sleep which is 3:00am Central Time.
Then I get up to play in the Team Tournament at 6:30am (4:30am PST). They want us down there and set up at 7:00am. Then what we do before the first game at 9:00am is go to breakfast together. Since team Dakka Dakka Detachment #1 is one of the rare teams that do not live near each other, this is our one time to go over the army, and have a brief talk about strategy. For the first time we are going to be joined by team Dakka Dakka Detachment #2 at the breakfast, and we will try to help them out as much as possible.
Then 4 more games and we get out at 10:00pm. This is the one time I have to go out to dinner with all of the tournament regulars I see around at all of major tournaments. Since GW canceled their GTs we don't have a chance to really hang out anymore and this is the one time we are together.
Sunday
So after a late dinner, we are up again at 6:30am (4:30 pst) and get ready for the 40K championships that start at 7:00am.
I am glad that I took Monday off and I do not have to run to the Airport like I always have to do on Sunday night, and I can relax a bit.
Then later that night they are having an after con mixer/poker tournament that I signed up for.
Monday
I get to sleep in and take my time heading to the airport.
I will say the same thing that I always do like "I am never going to play in all of the 40k games again".

In which case I shall be at the back with some friendly heckling, and then I'll be taking furious notes during your demo game to see how good Spacecurves is and whether we need to be worried in Germany

Thursday
At nine PM myself and three of my team mates board a car to drive from Orlando, Florida to Lombard.
Friday
After driving all night and into the day, we get to Adepticon mid afternoon. We grab our hotel room, and generally try and hang out/recover as best we can.
Saturday
7:00 AM We are up for the Team Tournament under the name "Frosty Treats".
Sunday
My team gets a rest while I get up at 7:00 AM again to participate in the 40k Championships with my Salamanders. Once the tournament ends and we are finished, it's time to hop in the car again and drive through the night.
Monday
I took the day off, but hopefully we get back at a reasonable time and I can rest before work the next day.
If you are looking for me, I resemble a slightly over weight Clark Kent with a Green Lantern Shirt on.
