I still feel Slam in the Dam is a bit Americano cheesy though.... :-?
Dang, Norse, how did the Americanos get slammed for a logo thought up by Brits and Sweds ... I admit we have a large corner on the cheese market, but being dragged through the yellow processed foodstuff when I don't think a single Yank is making it to your great event is a little bit of low one, EH? (the EH? to give credit to those Canadians included in the spill over of Americano cheese reference) ... :lol:

Unfortunately Piepgrass, the invitee list for this one closed a long time ago, but I'd be up for a trip to Copenhagen later in the year if you want to organise something similar to coincide with Christmas shopping.. :wink: (I need some way of making it appealing to my wife! :lol:)

As far as recognising each other goes, well, myself and Lucy will meet everyone at their hotels on the Saturday morning and take them to Legendz (after that, we hope you can navigate yourself on the Sunday :-? ). As most people are in Rembrandtplein Hotel, it won't be an issue. All I have to do is find out where Trambi and Longshot are staying.

Sadly, Geno and his lot can no longer make it :cry: , but there are still plenty others to go round... :D

On a cool note, GW sent me the prizes yesterday. I don't have them yet, but I'll let you know what they are as soon as I get my grubby mits on them... :smoking:

I'll 99% certain be flying in on Friday - I think the Wodell boys are too.
anyone else up for a couple of 566ml's at this Legendz place that night? or a couple of friendly games or something?

No reason why you shouldn't, the owner, Patrick, would welcome the extra trade, plus DW could try to pull one of those long haired types he like so much.. :P

I probably won't be able to make it as my wife keeps a very tight leash, but I'll be there on Saturday for some Dwarven mayhem! :evil:

A reminder

Post by Princelucianus »

Just a reminder that the idea for the t-shirt should not be given up....
Thadrin's attempt was very good, and I would suggest only one alteration.
I want to print it on a black t-shirt.....

Furthermore, the name could be something like TBB A'dam, with Invitational written over it.....

That should be kept a small logo. On the backside we need a picture with a catchphrase....
1- Old world smoke and choke...
2- A'dams sacrifice to Slaanesh
3- Varag does Amsterdam
4- INPUT. I need helpppppppppppp

We know you need help Lucy... ;)

OK, all competitors have now been informed of the prizes on offer. I must say that GW have been exceptionally generous with their prizes which they have donated, and I would like to thank them publicly for their continued support of the event. Andy Hall in particular has been very approachable and is keen to see the results and review the format of the tourney.. who know, we may be making history here guys... :roll:

Anyway, huge thanks to GW, Fanatic and Andy for all their generous assistance..

Now all I need him to do is bring back Snots... :lol:

Last I heard, the Wodell boys had a spare ticket, and there'd be a spare place in the room DW, LF and myself will be sharing. Lets get the bespectacled one down to show us of he can actually play the game!
C'mon Andy - you can go to AMsterdam and count it as WORK!

That's not a bad idea Thads..

I originally invited Andy over anyway, but he said GW budgets would not permit it...

Maybe now there's a spare ticket and room going, it might not be so costly!

C'mon Andy, come and try to win those prizes you donated... :lol:

Longfang, Ajfalco, Thads and myself are booked into a 4 berth room at the Rembrantplein.
Flights for us Wodell boys are also booked, we're due in 3.15 pm Fri and flying back Mon afternoon. (British Airways via Gatwick, £82 return).
'Ere we go...'ere we go....
Just booked my own flights over. By happy coincidence due in at 1515 on the friday (though seeing as Stockholm is a little further away than Gatwick I had to pay a bit more, and I'll be with KLM.). Flying back lunchtime on the monday.
