Happy Valentine's Day to all:

(I wish they could actually make these as candy, but alas...)

Now for a few tournament reminders:

Echo: Echo: Boston: Boston
Kindred Most Wanted Prerelease
Sunday, February 20th
NOON until whenever. I want to try and start as close to ON TIME as possible,
due to the extra time it takes to start up.
Where: Your Move Games, Somerville MA
Entry Fee: The price of a Kindred Most Wanted starter and 4 Kindred Most
Wanted boosters. About 20 bucks, give or take.
Format:
Each participant receives one Kindred Most Wanted starter deck at random.
Starter decks are tradable *before* opening them.
Each participant also receives four (4) Kindred Most Wanted boosters.
Draft tables will be set up with as even a distribution as possible of the
4 starters.
There will be 3 standard rounds.
The final round will consist of the top player for each of the starters.
The fifth player in the finals is the second-best overall player (and will
be placed into the finals standings accordingly).
Much fun will be had!

Josh,

Do you have any info on how organized things are, or lists of people
registered or whatever? I bit the bullet and registered on the total
con web site, which worked ok, but it seems like I only paid for 1
event when I registered for 3, and when I send them e-mail asking to
check up on things, I get an occasional vague response, but mostly a
lot of being ignored.

As I have said elsewhere, Total Con is a great convention with a lot of
very well run events. But the con as a whole has a really bad history
of registration and people responding to e-mail, and I totally don't
trust this "you have to register online" thing they have going on these
days.

I don't have much more of a direct line to the con organizers than you
do at this stage, unfortunately.

If you have registered for the VTES pass, you should be all set.
If they overcharge you or if they tell you you're not allowed in to one
of our events, just come to me and I'll handle it.

Sadly, I didn't get the VTES pass (I'm playing 2 VTES events and then some
SFB), so I am guessing that while I signed up for the VTES, somethign went
wrong 'cause I signed up for VTES but didn't get the VTES pass. So the
computer was confused. And so my order was compromised. And no one will
respond to my requests for information. So if I show up miffed, don't be
surprised when I just hand you some cash and play some VTES 🙂
