Awesome! Now my plans begin in earnest to actually make the trek over from America!

3DB wants to be the first podcast to cover the NAF LIVE!!! (or at least from the actual event :P)

So, surprisingly, I seem to have gotten that week cleared with my boss. That was much easier than I had anticipated! So one hurdle cleared!

Now I need to know if I would be allowed to use my Apes of Wrath miniatures? I'd use them as a standard BB roster - Orcs or Humans most likely, though they can play as almost any team.

Also, I want to take a cue from Team Sweden at Chaos Cup and bring over some US goodies for the tourney to give away/raffle off/bribe my opponents with. :) I would love to hear suggestions as to what American snacks/food/candy/alcohol I should bring!

Yep, any miniatures are fine as long as they are identifiable.

And as long as you don't bring Hershey bars, you should be allowed in!

Got my school calendar changed! One more step closer! Now for the matter of paying for my flight! Should have a nice tax return coming that might just work!

<taking notes> Maybe vodka, no Hershey bars...I need specifics people! :P

I am seriously looking for ideas on gifts/raffle items to bring!

I hope to have 3DB dice for all my opponents, maybe more. Any thoughts?

Reeses peanut butter cups are the ultimate in peanutty goodness.

I would also accept anything hockey related, provided it didn't have a Red Wings logo on it.

How about some form of drink we can't get over here?

loki and nazgob, THANK YOU for the suggestions! Lots of Reese's Peanut Butter stuff, got it...

I am a big hockey fan - St. Louis Blues are my team so I hate the Red Wings. We'd get along just fine! So hockey stuff...

<taking notes>

My lovely wife suggested Templeton Rye Whiskey. It is made here locally in Iowa and it was famous gangster Al Capone's favorite. Would that work?

Just renewed my passport this week! One final step remains - the money. And wouldn't you know we should have a good tax return coming our way this spring... :)
