What would it take to get in on this, and when would I have to commit?

I'll shoot you an invite to the FB chat that we're having at 10:30 tonight. You probably don't have to commit super early, but Darcs and I are driving out, so you could always ride with us. It'll be a giant hassle going out of our way to get you, but we can make it work :raspberry: :raspberry:

What games are we bringing?

I'm going to bring a game bag with a bunch of card games:
Cobras
Exploding Kittens
Sushi Go
Spot It!
Simon's Cat
Chez Geek
Them's Fighting Words
Guillotine
Oregon Trail
Munchkin
Fluxx
6Nimmt
Sabateur
Love Letter

Then I can also squeeze in Zombie Dice, Cthulhu Dice and Secret Hitler.

If people want to try them, I can find room for King of Tokyo and/or Battle Sheep. Plus anything else people are interested in.

I will also bring my proto-prototype of The Pope's Beer.

I've got a google doc of it and I've mentioned it to three other people so far.

EXCITED!

After watching and waiting for Concert Against Humanity tickets for this year, I finally found a twitter post from CAH co-creator Max Temkin saying that they decided not to do it this year.

Therefore, we are all free to go watch Daki at the Acrobatica Infiniti that night.

IF we want to do it, tickets are $22 through the GenCon event registration. They still have plenty of space left.

Something from GenCon came in the mail today, but I wasn't home to sign for it! Curses!

Picked mine up today. Unfortunately, Andrew has to get his at Will Call. Booooooo. Dave, your mission is to steal the hardest puzzle off its stand and bring it into line while we wait.

I picked mine up from the post office today! Hooray!

Oh! I also got someone's tickets for some of the events. I think I was getting Caz's, most of the time, is that correct? I can't remember now, ha ha!

We'll have to figure out who bought what once everybody gets together.

So much cash is going to get thrown around. Like we're going to the NUDIE BAR!
