Sorry to post a new thread instead of replying to 
the old one, but I thought this was something a 
large number of forum goers would have an 
interest in seeing and I didn't want it getting 
pushed off the page before everyone who wanted to 
know had a chance to see it.

I inquired, and the Midorikawa panel is at 2 pm 
on Saturday.  Therefore it certainly looks like 
Friday is our best time to get together.  I am 
hesitant to suggest a time for it myself, because 
my Staff duties will most likely prevent me from 
doing much more than dropping by for a few 
minutes.  
Really early (convention center opens for 
registration at 10 am)  or after 7 would work 
best for me personally, but when the most people 
can make it is the important thing.  Around 5 or 
so and I probably won't be able to make it all.. 
(I HAVE to be there for the initial LARP meeting, 
but unfortunately at this time I don't know 
exactly when that is).. but if thats what works 
best for everyone else, well thats the way the 
cookie crumbles.
HOWEVER, if everyone can agree on a fairly early 
meeting time, (Say 2 pm or before.. I cant 
imagine LARP start being that early) I can 
probably talk the other GMs into letting us use 
the LARP room to meet in, since we won't be 
officially using it yet.
As a last note in selecting a time, I only want 
to remind everyone (as those of you who attended 
last year remember) how long the line for 
dealer's room gets and how soon the line starts, 
how long it takes to get through the line and the 
room itself, ect. So keep in mind the dealer's 
room opens at 4 pm.  I'd hate for anyone to miss 
out on cels because they were at the meeting, or 
the meeting because they hadn't gotten out of 
line yet.

-look forward to seeing you there!
