That's right, time for a salty run-back! (For those not in the know, that refers to immediately demanding a rematch, usually with the same characters)

There will be board games. There will be video games. There will be a fun competition Saturday night!

What's new this year?
Tickets are now $40 a head. Attend all four days for $40. Attend one day? $40. We're trying to keep it simple, and cheap for people. (Last year 4-days were $85.)

This is despite the costs for the event going up considerably. We operated with a pretty good safety net estimation last year so this year we're applying the money we made from 2014 and then cutting the price even further. If we have the same number of people show up we'll be a few hundred dollars in the hole, even considering the 2014 money, but if that happens we'll figure out a way to make up the difference (passing hat, running some kind of paid competition, "charity" auction etc.).

Also new is that room rates got bumped up $10 a night. Shucks.

Info
Date: Thursday October 1st 6pm - Sunday October 4th 5pm
Location: Sheraton Detroit Metro Airport

Sadly no. That was the saddest typo I've ever made...

Seconded on this, both for the pizza, for the advance notice, and an additional boogle, so he can pay for it all again.

I'd love to disc golf again this year. Week earlier, so it should be even nicer...right?

I should be available. I'll need to check vacation days since we've got a Disney trip booked later that month.

In

I am certainly in for Buddy's again with a second round of credit card roulette. Although if boogle lost again I would probably die laughing.

My goal: More than one day this time.

Double post.

I dunno...the drive is pretty far for me. I might not be able to make it

Yeah, you better be there.

hotel booking link is live in the OP

I am a tentative yes. Roomies? I need some.

Hotel room block seems to only have the 1 bed option, not the 2 bed option that works much better for roommate situations.

I'll look into it

Maybe your roommate arrangements.

I told you it was gonna get sticky

PlusOne and I are probably tentative, along with The Great Baby if we make it.
