Hey folks!
WOW what an October I had. I rolled straight from
the Zendikar prerelease into my wedding into running WoW Worlds sides in Austin
to running the PT Austin sides into my honeymoon! I was home for a grand total
of 4 days in October, 2 of those being the last 2 days of the
month!
We're back online and ready to roll into the winter
events though and SO much going on!
We're continuing to support
Chaotic events and these events are growing as we go. Stay
tuned for Legionevents.com for up to date info on Chaotic!
We've also been hosting Pokémon
events in both Misty stores which are being run by non Legion events guys, Jeff
Prentiss from outpost runs the MN stuff and Troy Leske from LaCrosse is running
the stuff in Madison. Attendances are growing for these awesome events
well and thanks to the guys running the events! you can find all the details on
Pokémon events at: http://www.midwestpokemon.info/
we've got the new wave of
Yu-Gi-Oh! regionals starting up, first one ran in Minneapolis
recently and we've got Sioux Falls and Madison on deck. Sioux Falls will run on
Nov 21 at the brand new Dragon's Den Store soon to be located on 41st St in an
even bigger venue and Madison will run on Nov 7th, this weekend!
And just a mere 10 days away,
Magic Grand Prix Minneapolis!!!! We've got artists Franz
Wohwinkel and RK Post coming out as well as Ken Nagel from WotC R&D (he's
the lead designer on the next set, Worldwake, coming out in February!). RK
did the artwork on the free sleeves and deckboxes every single competitor will
get at the event, sure we have to say "while supplies last" but I have more
deckboxes and Sleeve packs made than any Grand Prix in the states has ever had
for attendance, so you'll get yours for sure! none of this "first 500"
stuff!
We've got 11 dealers coming to buy your stuff, sell
you stuff and just trade with you! Lots of choice lots of big names from
Star City to Strike zone and Gaming etc to pastimes and Mr Dan Bock (obviously).
Jason from dreamers/Monster Den/Lotus vault will be there as well as Damien
Miller from the Milwaukee area and Adem Hotza from Chicago. Doug from Type 2
magic is coming up, as is Empire games and Troll and Toad is going to have a
HUGE presence there... so many dealers!
The side event schedule is nuts and we're giving
away a full set of power PLUS so much more! http://www.legionevents.com/GPMNpublicevents.htm.
Last Chance Grinder trials start Friday at noon.. come try for your 3 round bye
for the next day OR just get a practice sealed pool or 2 in!
I've also got some pretty big news about a new
series of events I'm partnering with Pastimes and PES to bring to the
midwest. it's pretty exciting stuff with a pretty awesome end prize...
more news on that very soon!!!!! but check back cause you're not going to want
to miss it!
And have you signed up for the MC2 cruise
yet? we've still got room on the boat for our Magic playin
friends! It's already twice as big as last year! and we've moved from the
small banquet room to using the cafeteria area for the events to accommodate
everyone! check www.legionevents.com/cruise for
all the details on how you can be "Bustin 5 knots wind whippin at your
coat"!
Best Regards,
