How about we aim for the Saturday then and plan on a long day? It would require an email to the organizer. I will see about setting this up. Saturday April 1 all day. Open gaming. 6 tables (which probably means 6 pairs of tables to make a 6'x4' battle fields so really 12 tables). Stay posted.

I'm definitely interested in showing up for something like this and playing. However...
I've already made vacation plans and will be gone that weekend (this year) but I'd love to show up to events like these and show people that we're still playing 8th!
I'm in Alaska so I have to deal with vacation, flights, luggage, etc...so I need plenty of proper warning.
Next year? later this year? (some other event)

If anyone would consider a yearly trip to western NY for Warhammer, I recommend coming in early November for DaBoyz GT.

That looks like a lot of fun! I'll have to convince my wife that the time off and airfare would be worth it. I'd be all for a mega-battle like that. I stopped working on these guys shortly after I started this painting log, but I'm thinking about either picking up where I left of with WoC or growing the painted models of some of my other armies (Beastmen are my priority right now). Here's my Chaos though: www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.php?380696-The-Road-to-10-000-a-Warriors-of-Chaos-Log

Danny any word from Simcon organizers? It isn't looking good for this event. I have e-mailed several times, the first being a week ago now with some follow ups in between and haven't heard a word. The last week has been crazy in Rochester however (for those that aren't local there were 81 mph winds that knocked out power to over 100,000 people for several days followed by plus or minus 2 feet of snow all in under a week). So I will send one more e-mail to see. Without hearing back from the organizers it is impossible to do this event at their venue. We have no idea if they have space, tables, chairs, etc. and it wouldn't work just to show up. So stay tuned for a bit more but if I don't hear anything in the next couple of days I would say it is not happening.

Oh well we tried. I do think another public play day might be fun - maybe Millennium if they have a weekend day they aren't too busy with other scheduled events. We wouldn't even need permission to just come in and play on open tables.

Ok so bad news and then some more bad news. First off even though it's not listed apparently it's supposed to be a busy Saturday. We can try to get here early and get the tables, but if we can't. We can rent their private tables in their private room for $20 a table. But the tables are only 3x3, and yes to use 2 tables pushed together costs $40 and still not enough.

What about Boldos? Boldo is never there on Saturdays and its not packed as far as I remember. Just a small group on 1st floor playing a board game, there is space upstairs for 4 game tables at least.

I talked with Boldo AKA Alex White, he talked with the president that is in charge of SIMCON. Apparently they never received word from anyone that you wanted to run an 8th edition warhammer event. The SIMCON president said he would be happy to have tables for us. Sooooooo........?
