We have the cast of the 2012 West Coast Quake ZElvis figure. This model is rare an limited to a run of only 100 models. The Players that attend the 2012 West Coast Quake in Las Vegas March 17th & 18th will receive one as part of their registration. I am working with my cohorts to allow me to send those preregistered figures out so they may paint him up and use him in the game (at no extra cost to the roster) (I am workling on it nothing is cast in stone)
Your best bet is to go ahead and register now and get that part out of the way.

see you at The West Coast Quake

Bah sadly this is one month too late, will be visiting Vegas with the wife in February (first time ever!).

Whether or not she'd let me take time out of our 10th anniversary holiday to play BB is ENTIRELY besides the point, but still I'm viewing this as unlucky timing

You had so much fun you had to come back. And because she is such a loving supportive wife she will give you some each morning before you head out the door. (then in return she will give some to that 20something hunk at the pool ) You give her a nice dinner with dancing and her favorite show (whilst you gouge your eyes out)take a blue pill and make her remember the early years. then 5 minutes later put on espn.

The capacity has increased to 140 players join today and reserve your spot

The Kickoff table is in the process of minor changes (mostly fluff and design layout, big change 6&8 are now "re-rolls" 2d6 +F+C+AC)

Stats for ZElvis: (Who is free to use in this event)

Have you booked your room yet at Alexis Park for the 2012 Quake? If not, GREAT! If so, you might want to adjust that reservation...

http://www.groupon.com/deals/ga-m-alexi ... ite-resort

Going on NOW through midnight (Pacific) this Monday, the 13th, Alexis Park is running a Groupon deal where you can get TWO nights in a Loft Suite for just $99 combined -- that's at least half off, or more depending on what other room you might get. This deal has no black-outs dates (save Valentine's Day) and weekend stays are eligible, so it's good all through the Quake.

My wife and I have stayed in Loft Suite at Alexis Park before and it's a nice room -- split-level with open-loft bedroom area full large full bath upstairs, plus a couch with full-size fold-out bed in the living area downstairs, plus a jacuzzi, fridge, and more. She and I were already going to book a Loft Suite for three nights for the Quake before this deal come up; with the deal limit on this one being two, I bought two and we're now staying four nights instead, for cheaper than three nights would have been at the normal rate with AAA discount!

NOTE: Before you purchase the deal, I would just recommend calling Alexis Park's reservations 800# and confirming they still have loft suites available for the nights you want, to be safe. Note that, according to the deal's Q&A page, you can also get even bigger, better suites by using this deal as a base and paying an upgrade fee. Once you know you can use the deal, buy it off the Groupon site and you'll get your voucher codes -- once you have those, just call Alexis Park back and book the reservations. The Groupon voucher will say that you can't use the codes for 24 hours but go ahead and make your reservation immediately and it will be fine -- they'll just ask you for the code but it's OK since the code once actually be "used" until your stay in March!)

Dang, I *really* wish you had been able to send this message out to the registered players via their email. I definitely would have taken advantage of this.
