So, I received a confirmation from PAYPAL that Total Con had been sent my payment on the 19th.

However, I have not yet received a confirmation from Total Con that my Pre-Registration was received and processed. Also, their entire email array on their "Contact" tab has not worked/ possibly has never worked.

Ideas Mark?

They've been having this issue with everyone, but they said, in general, if you got the paypal statement you should be fine. However, I will contact Angelia and make sure you're good.

Angelia said she sent you an email confirmation. You all set?

David is all set up. He's got a cool class on making stop-motion movies during the week, so he won't be there Thur or Fri. Instead he's shotgunning HoA on Saturday.

Kelly and I couldn't find a single thing we could do together this year :( so she's going to bow out (next year I am definitely going to have to write something for her to play).

And in other news Personal Agendas sold out just before I registered David (not that it really matters, he knows the GM).

Two sold out events (Ep. 10 on Friday and PA on Sat), so there's still plenty of room for everyone!

Made some fun posters pointing folks to HoA over on FB. Take a look.

Well yes, he does make a terrific Cardinal (right up until he left for that abomination of a show which shall never be named)

All I'm saying is if people want to donate to Lady Grace's "Shank Moffat" fund, TV will be a better place... :twisted:

This question is for the Bostonians: How is the snowfall, the snow on the ground already?

I should be ok at the Red Roof Inn nearby for Friday and Saturday nights. But some of my time is in Westborough on the cheap, which I believe got more snow.

Should I reconsider and stay more downtown? Thanks.

Where they haven't plowed/shoveled/snowblown its still pretty high, some drifts are taller than me. But the roads are (with the exception of back roads) completely clear. I saw sidewalk snowblowers running just today so by the time you get here it should all be completely clear.

We didn't end up with that much but it's deep. Take the top pic for example. That's the view out my front door. There is a road there, you probably just can't see it. The part I circled is the big snow pile where the trucks have moved the snow off the road. There is a fence there. It's about 5' high. And it's completely covered. As a comparison, below that is a pic of the house (from the road) showing the fence.

All the headshots for 9 and 10 are printed, covered with plastic, cut apart and in their respective folders. Both adventures have been edited and printed up along with the handouts for each. And finally, I made a bunch of new xp sheets to make sure there were enough to handle all the games this year.

I didn't mention doing the cards because my local group took a day and grouped them all together so I just had to grab a stack of ten or so and they were ready to go.

So it looks like I am all set for YEAR 5!

So, what's the word on the "T" and the commuter railroads? Will I be taking a taxi from Boston?

Here is the link to the MBTA, best to check it daily yourself, as it changes daily, depending on the weather.

Yeah, and I'm wondering if I'll even get there. Just tried to go to work, and car was sliding on the road, because of the lousy plowing that Natick does, and then I was making a left turn and almost had another car hit me, because she was in a hurry, and didn't see the city worker in the yellow jacket standing by his truck, that waved me to go make the turn. She just pops out from behind the other truck on the other side of the street and yells at me through her window after she stops about a foot away from my car. So right now, I'm back home having a panic attack, trying to figure out if I am going to work today, and if I can even make it to your house tomorrow evening Mark.
