Just realized my Aunt is in Florida for the winter, so no stopping there. I might just get a motel halfway or closer. Not sure yet.

Anyway... I've got 10 confirmed shirt orders. We need at least one more to lock in the quoted price of $38.88.

I'll leave orders open until tomorrow night and I'll place the order Friday morning.

Side question. Does anyone know who the artist is for the Manwoody graphic we're using on the front of the shirt?

I'll take a second one to complete the order.

OK, order has been placed.

Dan, I didn't hear back about your sister's shirt name so I left it blank, but the rep I spoke to said it takes 7 days for the proofs to be done so if we want to change anything in the next few days we still can. It's just an extra $3.50.

So we ended up with 13 shirts so the price was actually a little cheaper. Total was $461.37 which worked out to $35.49 per shirt.

Anyone who can pay through PayPal, that is easier for me. Please send $35.49 (or $70.98 if you ordered two shirts) through PayPal to claudiusthefool@gmail.com

***Please be sure to mark your payment as a GIFT and not for Goods and Services, otherwise I will be hit with fees.***

Thanks!

Here are the proofs from Customink for the shirts.

Since we've got the sleeve print they have to use a different printing style (screen print?) so the logo on the back looks slightly different. Looks like they simplified it and used less shading/colors on the back podcast logo.

Also they said the ink will be a little "thicker" than on last years shirts.

It's not a big deal, just posting it so you all can see it. I still think it looks cool.

I'll hold off on approval until tomorrow.

I am not certain how many copies of the board game we'll need and how many will sign up, so if any of you have the board game and/or AFFC/ADWD, and don't mind if they are used in the tournament, please pack to bring along in case we need it.

Another signed copy of the board game map up for grabs this year. Along with a lot of other stuff that will be in the silent auction or as other prizes: FFG really helped us out this year! :)

My board game will be wracking up the travel miles without having actually been needed yet. I'll bring it just in case.

I just got the shipment notification for the shirts. I should have them in a few days.

My sister just sent me picture of a completed sigil of the most noble, ancient and brave house in all the riverlands to put on my surcoat....

Anyone have an apple iphone or tablet they can install hearthstone on before going to the convention? (so you don't have to download there) I might have to buy Khadgar during the trip, I'm quite busy till my flight out on Wednesday morn.

I just checked the directions apparently Mountain Lake Lodge is only 10 hours instead of 14 like last year so maybe I won't leave at 4AM. I'll plan to get in around 2-3. I'm taking I-81 South the whole way, so as long as there is no traffic/construction it will hopefully be uneventful. We shall see...

Seconded! Inquiring minds want to know.

I admit nothing! Certainly not to taking a picture in my Frey getup standing next to the Tully banner and smirking.

I have to sort through my photos after I get caught up from everything. May be able to release some on the weekend.

For now, look how much people enjoyed the trivia game 8-)

Personally think the FFG Trivia Game needs some calibration on the questions but I enjoyed it overall.

Werewolf was a blast though.
Missed out on Cards Against Westeros.


Feel that House Manwoody needs to step it up in 2017 and rally the troops and take Ice & Fire Con in the rear.

How random the difficulty of the questions was must have been done on purpose to add some more randomness to the game.

Yup. What if we could get three out of four hosts?

For Kyle I think it is mainly the distance. If he can get to Columbus, then we can carpool to and from the convention (assuming it will be at the same place next year).

Mimi was quite close to attending in past years, just didn't work out sadly.

Everything I heard suggested the organizers were very happy with Mountain Lake Lodge, so I'd be almost certain it'll be there again. Definitely harder to get people in from out of driving range in, though.

ETA:
We definitely need to muster an archery tag team, if that's on the menu next year.

Hello! I'm new to the forums, however I'm a voracious listener of VoK podcasts. I will be going to the Ice and Fire convention, and I would also love to get involved in the linear reread. Could some one tell me how to find the Call to Arms for that?
