In other news, just found out foleyfrog is the same person as Sean Sullivan so I've removed one of them from the 40K tournament, which means we will still space for 1 player in the special 40K tournament being run by Chris.

With the spot open I would like to participate in the 40K event. But quick question that are not addressed, Do models have to be painted and is there any restrictions to vehicles and multi-wound models that are not currently listed?

Also sign me up for X-wing! I may have 2 other friends who plan on joining in as well.

I've added you to the 40K tournament.
Models don't have to be painted.
I don't know the answer to your other question. I'll see the tournament organizer around 9am so I'll ask him to post a reply.
I signed you up for X-Wing. There are multiple spots left for your friends. I didn't sign them up since I don't know their names.

I've had a change of plans. I won't be able to participate in the two sessions I signed up for(Star Wars & super dungeon explore). I will still be coming later in the afternoon but I will have my daughter with me now, so that changes what I can play. Sorry for any trouble this may cause in the schedule.

I just wanted to thank the organizers, and everyone who helped set up this event.  It was neat to see so many people come out and play a whole bunch of different games.  I wish I could have stayed longer than I did.

Also, I'd like to thank Brandon and Matt for teaching me Castles of Burgundy and Amerigo respectively.

I hope to come out for the next Expo in the spring/summer!
