Well you (GreyElephant and Conachris) have both been here and it's kinda small for just the 10-12 people we had for the 'cue tournament last time, that's really my only concern. Plus M's pregnant and has the propensity to get cranky...but I'm OK to deal with all of that for a solid game!
So, I can do something (in addition to or instead of) the Tixcon '08 gala. I'm indifferent - I just want to play!

Heh - at this point, my Attacktix skills are so rusty that I'm not sure I'd give much of a game anymore. That and my attempts to eliminate all "power striking" from my game

I talked with Superfly, and instead of having a hotel room - we'll have a gathering at my place... I can accomodate probably as much as 20 people and will have plenty of space for boards for games (there's plenty of room in mi casa). We'll organize a tournament as well and have plenty of side games. We'll have this the Saturday of BotCon, April 26. Time will be TDB.
Let me know if you are interested in attending!
My house is about a 40 minute drive North from where BotCon will be in downtown Cincinnati.

Maybe a new thread should be started up for this tournament. With that said, I will be there. The only thing is that I still want to hear from Webhead if he was wanting to do Tixcon or not. The weekend you are proposing is the weekend that he was as well. Has anyone PM'd Webhead or talked to him privately to see if he still has any intentions? The last we heard from him was that it was still on, even if that was months ago. I don't want to feel like we are stamping on his toes. Modified* I sent Webhead a PM on this subject. Let's see what he's got to say.

I'll email him.
As for Chris's Shindig, let me know if it's a go and call me, Chris, to let me know the 'theme'. I can work on a TnTrophy.

I didn't know a date had been picked for TixCon - definitely don't want to disrupt TixCon. So, good idea Greyelephant - let's wait to here from Webhead before making this official. If it's on, I'll start another thread for it in the Tournament section.

Assuming that Webhead doesn't have TixCon scheduled for April 26, yes we will have a tournament/get-together at my house on April 26 which is the Saturday of BotCon. There aren't any Attacktix events at BotCon, so that's the reason we'll be having a "secondary" one at my house. Once it's official (after we hear from webhead) I'll start up a new thread with the details.

FYI - TIXCON 08 HAS BEEN MOVED TO A LATER DATE PER WEBHEAD. I emailed with him and he will be announcing the new date later, when he sets it. Weather was a major factor in the decision per Joe Manzo (who has been busier than a one-armed man in a wallpaper hanging contest).
Chris, the floor is yours.

If the TixCon happens, I'll try to get there and make a video, but it sounds like the most likely tournament is The Energon Invitational .

GUYS, FOR REAL....
I posted some time ago that this is going to happen. Don't doubt it. I talk with Brett fairly regularly and Joe quite often as they're both personal friends of mine (more Joe than Brett, really, but still often enough). I spoke with Brett not too long ago. He doesn't want to do a TixCon event when the weather is crappy, and he wants to make sure that all preconditions for a successful event are in place. Plus he's had his house flooded and is going through hell to get his life together.
So, that being said, TIXCON 08 WILL HAPPEN. Just not now.
Energon Invitational is the next 'JoeAttacktix' sanctioned event, if we can call it that, and I am making another SUPERB trophy for the grand champion.
See Chris's Thread until further notice - Brett will announce here and on his site when TixCon is going to happen.
