Or you could buy a bouquet of roses pack sandwiches in a basket and grab a floor blanket. And have a wonderful time. I'll let you fill in the skipped steps.

That's genius. You get her to think that the trip to Independence is some sort of romantic picnic, start setting everything up and let tell her that you forgot something, run back to the car and go play in the tournament, you come back with some wine and brie and she's none the wiser.

Wasn't this the plot of a Flintstones episode once?

Best alpha strike ever!

So my wife said it wasn't a problem, but I ended up vetoing my own gaming time after considering how crowded and exhausting it was going to make my weekend when combined with some unavoidable errands on on Sunday. A weekend with six hours of driving is too much.

I still have =hopes of getting to at least one other SC, as long as I can get the folks in McPherson, KS to answer their e-mail or a phone call, and I'm still interested in meeting the KC people at some point...

From what you've said you're somewhere in southeastern KS. You might check out Meta Games in Springfield MO. They've got one March 21st, and it might not be too long a drive for you. Graduate work and kids definitely shoulder out gaming time. Good luck.

I'm in Manhattan, KS--about two hours west of Kansas City on I-70. Looks like Springfield is about 4.5 hours, which is doable but would probably require an overnight stay. It's on my list, and thanks!

Did you check out the one in Olathe? I've never been to that shop, but it's closer to you than Independence is, as it's on the KS side of the KC metro area. I've been looking at store championships in that area because I've got family in the area, and if I just happen to be visiting on of those weekends...

Yeah, but the website it links to is this refugee from the late 90s, and it doesn't have anything to say about the upcoming Store Championships--or, in fact, anything at all on their X-wing events page.

I e-mailed the organizer (at his AOL account...!) to see if he could shed any additional light, so I'll let you know if I hear anything.

As far as I know Cache still has not scheduled theirs.

Vorpal are you a part of any of the KC area Facebook groups? Might be a good way to keep updated as well.

As of Friday, and courtesy of Kelvan, yes.
