Pre-Release Sunday...?

I mean, I'm kind of disappointed to have skipped the last 3 local events on the last 3 weekends, but I have got a prerelease to run, so I'm really not sure I ought to be going.  Oh well, I just simply can't do the weekend afterwards, so we'll have to see.

Then again:

The tournament begins at 12:00pm sharp  Please, PLEASE be on time

doesn't really sound my kind of place...

I'll put word out round here in case anyone else might want to go.

If anyone coming tomorrow owns 1 copy of Phyrexian Negator and or some number of Nyxathid I'd be greatful if you'd bring em so I could perhaps swipe them from you for the day.
