I can also give you a little insider tip on Hobby Seminars - if you have didn't get into that class you wanted and still have the time slot free, go to the class and ask the instructor if there are any no-shows leaving a seat open. It doesn't always happen, but it does happen enough to mention. <br /><br />If there IS a seat, expect to hand the instructor cash for the ticket price (in fairness to the instructor and everyone who paid up front).<br /><br />I've done this both as a student and an instructor several times over the years.fullborerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241467981047978611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-62441936153038913722012-11-15T08:48:08.759-06:002012-11-15T08:48:08.759-06:00Yep, a group of us from Ogre Games are going to pl...Yep, a group of us from Ogre Games are going to play in the 40k event.

I'm more excited about So many of the Seminars this year, not to mention the sheer number of them, the instructors, everything, that I almost regret committing to the Team Tournament! I see so many I want to take part in! It's actually the only gripe I have abotu the team tourney moving to two days, it cuts out my Sunday for seminars :P My friend Jason literally signed up for 9 seminars! The only one he missed was yours cause it filled up so quickly :P<br /><br />I'll echo Chris here though, just because some sold out fast doesn't mean everything is gone. Go to the cart, participate!!! The more we take part in what is provided, the more Adepticon can do in the future!Miniature Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873606899838665652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-42786016843131807362012-11-14T15:30:53.219-06:002012-11-14T15:30:53.219-06:00You know, making a second Adepticon was a topic of...You know, making a second Adepticon was a topic of conversation between me and some friends on this past monday night actually. THe best part is that while there isn't a secondary Adepticon, there are a ton of great indy-run events across the nation. War Games Con, NOVA Open, The Bay Open just to name a few off the top of me head :)<br /><br />And you tell your wife that mine let me go while she kept home a 3 month old! ;) We take turns.

When something blows up it's initially great because the support gets better, but it also loses that intimate feel that bonds you together and eventually becomes a bit clique-like which can take some of the fun out of it. Overall, a good thing as long as it doesn't crumble under its own weight.Zabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07000817078818838705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-16421786932200965682012-11-13T10:24:20.163-06:002012-11-13T10:24:20.163-06:00Sidenote: Where is the love Tim, why did you not ...Sidenote: Where is the love Tim, why did you not invite me to be on your team?Josh Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993055267482572764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1404909755379335733.post-66986114496885670732012-11-13T09:34:06.648-06:002012-11-13T09:34:06.648-06:00I was able to get my VIG ticket, 40k friendly (her...I was able to get my VIG ticket, 40k friendly (here comes the Ravenwing!), and my teammate registered me for the Team event!
