I’m heading up there on Wednesday, and expect to have a good time as usual. Anyone else going? Someone will have to start the comic book thread for me on Thursday… ---

I am going to be there. I am planning on heading down Thursday morning (2 hour drive for me) and spend most of my time in the dealer’s room or at the Puffing Billy tournament. I will probably do a few other things too, just won’t know what they are until I get there. 😃 ---

It’s about four hours for me. I usually end up going up on Thrusday morning, but thanks to the holiday this year, I can go up the day before and actually run in a Thursday-morning event! ---

[QUOTE=CandidGamera] Mutants and Masterminds? [/QUOTE] I played an M&M event last year that I really liked.. Batman and Allies versus the Bat-Rogues in Mayor Hill’s house. I don’t recall if I signed up for any this year - I do a lot of Champions events though.
