I will feel dirty.

Sadly this year is halflings. Next year should see me bring out the hockey themed Amazons.

Then I HAVE to bring you one. :) So you are going after the Stunty Cup?

I'm leaning towards Undead if I want to be cheesy or Orcs using my Apes team.:)

Superb. I think Glow is probably travelling up on the Saturday morning (though could be wrong). I will be going up from the same area on the Friday evening, so if you wanted to be up there for the Friday evening too I can provide a lift.

It's being sorted, don't worry, I've outlined my cunning plan already.

Ticket has been bought! That's it - it's official, I'm heading to the 2014 NAFC!

Terrified of the flight but have to put that behind me!

Now I need gifts for glowworn and nazgob, get the custom dice I ordered to give out, bring raffle items, make sure my recorder has plenty of batteries, buy lots of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups...

The list goes on! But I will be ready!

When I pick up a few cases of Reece's Peanut Butter Cups, I will go for the Big Cups. Seems more American - as in fat and terrible for us. :)

Got some tips on how best to acquire some British pounds without hitting the Exchange at the airport.

Have a great gift for nazgob, still searching for glowworm's...

Ordered custom dice to give to my opponents and got to use the amazing Union Jack design (that is so much cooler than our US flag).

Found out I can get a doctor's appointment, tell them I am nervous about flying, and they will give me drugs!

Seeing Stone Henge has been a lifelong dream of mine and I was THRILLED when glowworm suggested we could see it while I'm there!

Heard from some European friends that had come over to Chaos Cup, offering to hang out and provide some friendly faces since I will be pretty far from home. MUCH APPRECIATED! Everyone has been so welcoming and encouraging!

Realizing I am now sort of keeping a diary here, possibly only read by myself and glowworm, but it's okay - I am that excited to be making this trip!

Having just been in Atlanta for work, I got some very odd looks when I spent $25 or so on peanut butter cups and peanut butter M&Ms from a shop. Explaining that it was to take back to the UK seemed to help though ;)

I have had some Euro coaches write me about this so I thought I'd add it here - I am bringing some custom 3DB dice, made just for my trip to the NAFC and when you see them you will know what I mean, to give to my opponents! I also have other custom 3DB dice that I only give out at tourneys in trade for league/tourney dice from around the world! So if any other dice collectors are coming to the NAFC, come find me! I will trade for (or buy) league and tournament dice for my personal collection!

One more thing for the list... :P
