Golf as usually at 10 AM tomorrow (Thursday) at Brandywine in Peninsula. Then it's on to the hotel to setup and frag away! Email me (Fatty@) if you need something.

Thursday 7/15 Golf starting at 10 AM at Brandywine Golf Club in Peninsula Setup following golf. I'll need the veterans to help me make some decisions about the room we're using. Thursday night generally turns into open gaming for anyone that's already there. Friday we'll open the doors at about 9 AM to invite everyone else in to set up!

We have just over a month until FragFestOhio 2009! Currently 29 of the 40 seats are reserved. Information on reserving your seat can be found here: http://www.fragfestohio.com/details.shtml (note: no seat choices, as it's a whole new arrangement this year). We're gathering all the names of those who are to be involved with the golf outing on Thursday, July 16th. Please see this thread: http://www.gamrs.co/forums/in...showtopic=38619 Please get signed up now if you plan on coming! Looking forward to seeing the fam again! Fatty

Recently the question was posed among the aging, cranky founders: Is it time to hang it up or what? The answer? No, but we need to change some things to preserve what is really important to us. The bottom line is the fact that it's not the swag....it's not the games....is not the bigger numbers or more prizes or making a statement in the gaming word...it's about getting back with friends that we've come to know for year....and also meeting new faces of people who have found their place in our community. We don't want to give that up, and we won't. But, we're making some serious adjustments, including a seat limit that is being imposed immediately because the contracted meeting room space has been reduced once again. Why? We gotta hit a budget. When we tossed ourselves into the ballroom a few years back we were still growing. People were still jumping head first into trash cans, etc. However, we've now got to scale back. We're keeping the social events intact, like golf, poker, gaming, etc...and worrying less about swag and prizes etc. If you were planning on coming to win a mousepad and take home a pen, you're gonna have to find another event. There's a lot of names on the past lists that I look forward to seeing! Please don't delay in reserving your seat! Fast Facts: -There are only 40 seats available due to the space we're renting. -You already missed the $50 / seat window. All seats are now $60. We have to make the budget. -If you are a staff member and haven't paid yet....uh....well, the most important staff member will now be Duke...he's gonna organize the food runs...beyond that, all staff, including me, is fired. Duke already paid, so the food is secure. --T-Shirts will be an option and sold separately and not included in the entry fee. Estimates are around 15.00 each and once again this is due to the budget. Registeration Information: Reservations must be made by using paypal. Send $60 to reservations @ fragfestohio.com. Please include your home city, shirt size if you want one (exclusion of size means you do not want a shirt), and how many years you've attended prior to 2009. You can see the current registration list here: http://www.fragfestohio.com/attendees.shtml Hotel Information Update since I sent email out: Fatty
