Well, I really wish I had a lot more time to hype this Magic the Gathering event up – I don’t.  Here is the run down.  I am Leaving early Friday (Augus26th 2011) morning, after sending the children off to school, to judge at the Grand Prix in Pittsburgh (standard).  Between now and then I have to maintain my Dad’s Kitchen image for the kids, study more, shop for food (I always take some healthy foods just in case), and pack.  They are a very fun, and educating experience.  If you are a judge, Grand Prix’s are an awesome avenue for learning.  There are so many players and judges there that you will something new at every event, and most likely each day.   Since you are broken down into teams it is an excellent time to set a goal for yourself, like learning layering.  OOPS!  I’m rambling.  This event is going to be extremely busy.   There will be about 50 judges to handle about 1500 players.  That is going to be a lot of work.  I am looking forward to it though.

 

The artists attending are RK Post and Christopher Moeller.  I always look forward to getting some cards signed and buying at least one print.

 

Well enough about the Grand Prix for now.  I will Try and have a GP report up by Tuesday August 30th.

The US Post Office will never cease to amaze me.  We had a package returned to us today because the buyer had moved or couldn’t be found.  It was postmarked October 14th.  I wonder what in the world they were doing with it all that time?
