Now in terms of what time to do this, my friend Andrew the Necromancer and I are driving in from Charlotte NC. We're leaving like 6am-7am in the morning and driving straight through. We'll arrive within 9-10 hours. Looking at the Tilted Kilt website I'm seeing some specials that start at 9pm. So the plan is going to be:
Lets all get together at 9pm at the Tilted Kilt on Thursday of the convention. That way people have a chance to get settled into their hotels, maybe walk around the convention center once or twice, and we can have time to catch a shower before meeting up to talk Mage Wars.
If no serious objections to said plan are voiced in the next couple of days or so I'm going to call them and reserve the space.
I'd also like the real actual name of someone else who's reliable to put on the reservation on the off chance that we get delayed or something stupid happens. You can private message me if you like.
