Monday Night- Saints at San Fransisco find a Pub and a Party
Tuesday- Open
Wednesday - 12 noon Audubon Zoo
- 7 PM Mother's for their famous PoBoys
Thursday- 7PM Commander's Palace (dress code enforced). This is
considered to be one of the top 10 restaurants in the entire United
States by most culinary experts (Saver, Bon Appetite, etc)
Friday - Sunday Alligator Festival in Boutte, LA (about a 30 minute
drive).
Sunday- Champagne Brunch at the Court of Two Sisters. This is my
favorite brunch in all of New Orleans. It is outside in a courtyard.
There will of course be lots of open games, and there is lots to do in
the French Quarter (art galleries, antiquities, tours, gambling, and
the best collection of fine dining to be found anywhere)
What is a "Draught Tournament"? Something to do with Draught of the
Soul? Or maybe it's supposed to be alcohol/beer related?
Realistically, I think maybe they misspelled Draft. Is that right?
Also, any news on which sets will be available for the draft
tournament(s) - the Sunday event and the Thursday(?) one? Thanks!
Could we just swap Saturdays constructed and Sundays draft? I guess
not, but I just had to ask for this...
If enough people are interested in a constructed event - I'll run a
First Chance Qualifier for 2011 on Sunday along side the
Championship.

Is that before or after brunch?
And aren't you planning on being IN the championship on Sunday,
Robyn? :)

Robyn!
Though I will give my best to play the Day2 of the Championship I can
remember what happened last time. It would be great to know that in
case I don't make it to the Day2 event I still can play first chance
qualifier!!!
I feel the same way. I'm a constructed junkie.
Even knowing that CCP is stopping our line _ the VTES Atlanta
Playgroup is quite committed to running the First Chance Qualifier
(details to come). Likely to start with the draft, and hour after
the start of the Championship and likely 2 rounds and a final.
