It was a good dinner. Glad I got to meet you and several others there. I was the one between Kirk and MasterED, across the table from you.

I remember! Great food and great fun. Hope to do it again next year!

You!!!
You were the bard with the Vuvuzela?

I hate you. I tried so hard to destroy that instrument, only to have half my melee-based attacks blocked, and you kept making the saves against Will and Dex and Fort checks. I'm gonna ask Eric for a flame-thrower attack next time, with extra bonuses against plastic instruments!

(Seriously tho - you guys were a great group! I'm glad you had fun, and that your party had some great synergy and strategies to get under the monsters' skins.)

I died and was hung in an Eldrich Siper's web for 400 years, but after hearing that horrible instrument dying was my second most horrible moment. The auto taunt ability should be an official rule

So what you're saying is that my Dwarf Fighter needs to pick up a vuvuzela? Of Course, since I'm not a Bard, it would be played even worse...

Another highlight was the bag of awesome supplements and energy supplies made for me and other lead volunteers by a couple forumites - very thoughtful!

This was a great year. Kelly and I got 3 runs in and had a blast with all the groups. Jack only got to do 1 run on Saturday with us but had a great time (and drew both a +3 baton of focus and a 2500g bar).

I really liked the Volunteer Break room. THe cake and goodies and a place to go to relax for a bit during the bubbles was very much appreciated.

I was also very impressed with the tear down crew. They just pushed on and worked really hard and collaboratively.

And despite several form complaints of new people getting shut out, I coached a TON of people who had never played before or had only gone on one prior run so it is great to see the new blood IS able to get tickets and have a great time.

That was certainly a highlight for me!

i must have missed something because i don't remember anything special about that box...

The volunteer break room was a welcome addition!

Would it be bad to tell you it had cake?

Lori mentioned in some thread somewhere.

If it makes you feel better, the cake is a lie.

(Not really...)

The cake wasn't a lie, but plates and drinks were

Question, My assistant's Daughter's Catering service made the Cake, was it Good?
