Are we still doing this? Did we nail down the Haven for the location? If we're gonna see the movie, I'd recommend a late-morning start time for dice rolling. I'm up for whatever.

I'm still game, just need a confirm Dale of time and place (Haven or Collectormania).  Movie is good after as well.

I'm still planning for the 7th, but I have to verify tables available that day. Start time at 10 am.

We may only have a few tables, but we'll pile in for multiplayer if needed. :-)

Looks like I won't make it, though I'm going to try and get a couple games in between now and the con.

Sorry to hear you won't make it down. Multiple tables are confirmed!

Poor Stephan, well whatever took you away, I hope you still have a good day.

As for the rest of us, I look forward to get a game or 2 of FA and maybe a game of Planetfall.

I'll be there with my Terrans!
I'm open for a movie also.

Movie times are looking ...odd:

Either 4Pm or 7PM in the giant 4DD screen at the mall
or
Either 4:30PM (in 3D) or 7:30PM (in Digital) at the Cinemark on Powers Blvd.

We're starting early so we have options :-) I still have to ask my SO if she wants to go as well, which may define which showtime for me.

Meantime, ther's a useful review here:

At the Chapel hills Mall Carmike, the big screen has a 3D show at 4, but the 7PM show is normal 2D. The film was digitally filmed, but not in 3D native, so conversion results may vary.
Powers Cinemark has regular digital shows, 2 types of 3D, and IMAX. :-)

Not sure which show Machelle and I will do yet, so we might just plan our own thing.

I'm planning 1000pts or 1200pts depending. If I can get assembly done, I'll bring Ba'Kash :-0

I'm really not a fan of 3D movies, to be honest, so I'll just play it by ear on Saturday. Will bring an 800- and a 1200-point list for my RSN.

Agreed on the 3D. I stay away from them.
I'll be bringing my Terrans with everything I can muster. Lists for 800 or 1200.

So assuming John is still coming, that's 2x RSNs and a Terran. I'll prep Aquans in case we got multiplayer, or Ba'Kash if we don't care about in-faction fighting :-)

My RSN don't mind killing Ba'Kash. Death to the heretic, alien, and mutant. Oh, wait a minute...wrong IP, sorry... :D
