Oddly enough, "too much free time" is not the answer in this case.

Pretty much all of us here at Gentlemen and Hand Grenades will be there at least one of the days there. So if you see us, feel free to say "hi". I'll be Dan Hibiki on Friday, Keroro from Sgt. Frog on Saturday and The Hunter from Left 4 Dead on Sunday.<br /><br />In fact, stopping us will tie into a contest we're having. If you talk to us and want to be part in the contest, stop us and say "Marmalade" and mention the contest and you'll receive a random prize from us. Could be anything ranging from a copy of Norton Gaming Edition to a little vial with a Boxelder Bug in it to an old hard disk I have lying around to last year's program guide. And if you want (though I doubt we're to this point yet) we can sign it for you.*<br /><br />Along with the contest, there will be a plethora of videos and pictures taken by us at the con and maybe an interview or two with one of the guests.<br /><br />If you're interested in going, the entry fee is $20 for Friday and Sunday and $25 for Saturday. Thursday night is free though. See you there!<br /><br />*People I know are exempt, offer not valid in Hawaii, see back for details.Phillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05501325231598048444noreply@blogger.com0
