I’m not going to be able to go, as I will have to work Sunday afternoon. ☹ However, since there are this many of us, and Rysdad can’t come, but seems to be popular, I have hopes that someone will organize another one of these soon. ::Turns and slowly walks away from the bright lights and sounds of revelry, kicking disconsolatly at the ground and bravely blinking back tears.:: ---

I’ll be there with bells on. Or, more accurately, my charts, spreadsheets, and various notes so I know whether I should be happy or heartbroken when I see the scores for the other games.
