Well, I know that I'll be in Richmond for this one. I'm working on bringing some other players down for the weekend too. I'm hoping to see some more Flame Vault Stax there since the Threshold bandwagon keeps getting bigger and there should be more Time Vaults here in the states.

What other TMDers think they might be around? What attendance size can be expected from this since it's a side event?
