Any chance this ever ends up not being in the two weekends around Thanksgiving?  I've got family birthdays, and 20+ people for TG every year.

Probably not man it's Robert's thing and he's been doing it the same time frame since before king of kong which is when classic gaming actually started.

But yeah it can be tough if you got a lot going on for the holiday unfortunately

It's me.  I need to get my priorities straight.  I do think I'll do an overnight to Morristown sometime George Strain is available.

If I come I'll probably just be there for a day or two. I'm guessing the most people will be there November 23-24?

Unfortunately, we won't be able to make it this year.  Life's just hitting us with too many things at once.
Sorry all.  We'll try to make it next year
