Haha, you guys have the worst timing ever for me, as the last one I attended (Indy) was the week before Winter finals week @ OSU. This one is similar, the week before Spring finals again. That said, I'll probably still be there. Who needs to graduate, right?

Finals in June? Sucks man.
However, I feel your pain. I have my last final on Monday and the Legacy at the Philly open is Sunday. Usually I wouldn't care, but there's a study session on Sunday(!) that I have to go to. =(
I'm definitely going to Legacy for this, Standard if I can get a cheap place to stay overnight.
morbid you have to go! I'm going to talk to Aaron soon and see if he's wanting to make the trip. I should be free then!
Updated with hotel information!
Only three weeks to go!
Less than two weeks to go!
Ehh, screw finals. I will be heading to this event, anyone else?
Look for:

Yeah I'll be there.
White guy, green ski hat with a blue visor, small lion in tow, playmat with two dragons fighting, brown ponytail, playing at the top tables all day.
Pretty easy to pick out.
