Hey, all,

Any chance we get to meet the players is especially fun, and Friday offers just such a chance, when we have a signing event up in Redmond.

Here's the info:

27 October (Friday) from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.
EB Games Redmond Town Center
16475 NE 74th Street Suite E-225,
Redmond, Washington 98052

The rumour is we might have a few goodies to hand out, but I don't know details on that quite yet. Anyway, we really hope that you'll drop on by. Post here if you think we'll be seeing you at the store!

(Thanks, Chief, for putting this on the news page, too!

)

Think there will ever be a chance some of these events will be held on the East Coast? I don't think that NY has hosted any of the gaming conferences or events that I read about, or see on TV..

Gaile,

shame it would be impractical to meet the Devs in game so that people from other countries could get a chance to talk to them. Not as good as meeting them in person of course but still....

Well I for one would have loved to meet you at GenCon, but I suppose you were too busy with your "PR stuff" to head over to Indy with Izzy and the gang... It was by far the biggest disappointment of the weekend.

I'm very tempted to make it, but I'm staying home from work that day (staying home and playing, yes, and therefore probably avoiding Redmond!), and have my 10 year high school reunion at 7 and who knows what else that day.

Besides, I've harassed plenty of ANet people already last week. :: giggle ::

But I'll spread the word with other locals who don't know already!

I know. I probably shoulda been at GenCon. I wasn't off doing "PR stuff," though, because I'm not PR! In fact, the way it worked was, PR was there, but I'm CR and I wasn't there. We'll see what we can do next year.

Also, I edited the initial post: It's the EB Games Store, not the GameStop.

Hope at least a few Guru-ites are in attendance.

I would love to join, crossing one ocean and climbing the mountains

, but I have an appointment with friends to play Nightfall at its release. Please, allow me to invite you to a lovely city in the Netherlands called "Amsterdam" next time you visit Europe!

Hmm, I live a couple hours north in Bellingham. I would love to get my Nightfall CE signed and my original and Factions CEs too.

Any artists going to be there, would love to get them to sign the art books.

How bad is traffic there? What time should I leave to get there on time? Hmmm....

And would the CE I preordered from the Gamestop up here arrive in time, hopefully I can pick it up before the 27th.

Just make a turn and head up north and come visit your friendly dog-sledding, tree chopping neighbours...heh

I might even be able to promise snow by the end of the week...

(just in time for Halloween for all the kiddos of course!) But then again I'd need to get my pre-order in for some autographs!

he didn't alter his quote. Chicks or a mod edited the post after it was quoted. The original post was exactly as quoted.

On a Friday, traffic might be bad; I want to say about 2.5 hours to be safe, because Everett can be a pain most days anyway. If you get into Redmond by 3, you'll probably be fine, but traffic starts to get nasty around that time, so don't plan on getting OUT of Redmond until 7-ish. But there's lots to do in Remond Town Center to keep you busy. Some restaurants (either right there or within easy walking distance), movie theater, bookstore (I think it's a Borders), ect ect.

Call Gamestop; It seems to differ from store to store, so I suggest giving them a ring and finding out. I called my local EB today to confirm that yes, I can pick mine up tomorrow.

(in my case, I walk into my local EB and they look at me like, "Oh, great, it's the crazy Guild Wars chick again... wonder what SHE wants?")

-kel!
