Just wanted to give some general updates.

There is plenty of parking in the area, but we wanted to give some options if you don't want to pay for parking in Baltimore.

Our hotel is next door to the convention center, so there are multiple ways to get here.

1. Light Rail. http://mta.maryland.gov/services/lightrail/
Route Map - http://mta.maryland.gov/services/bus/schedule/LRMAP209.pdf
There is a stop for the convention center, which is only a few blocks walk to the hotel.  The map shows all stops that have parking, many of them with free parking, so you can easily park outside of town and take that in almost right to the hotel.  The light rail runs until 11:00 pm.
Round trip fare is $3.20.

2.  Metro subway - http://mta.maryland.gov/services/subway/
Route Map - http://mta.maryland.gov/services/subway/schedule/MetroMap309.pdf
The closest subway stop I believe is Charles Center, but you would then have to take a bus from there to the convention center.  This might not be a great option unless you are already in the city, in which case you probably don't need this info.
Round trip is also $3.20.

3.  Bus - http://mta.maryland.gov/services/bus/
http://mta.maryland.gov/services/commuterbus/
I'm not too good with the bus routes, but here it is.  I know there are buses that take you to the convention center, but i'm not really sure from where.

4.  Driving - you can drive straight to the hotel, but the parking is a little high, so if you do want to drive there are other options close by.  It's right in the inner harbor, so the area is full of parking.  It is city parking though, so it's going to run in the $25 range for the full day.

If anyone knows the city well and has some other options for people please let us know.

Thanks!  And thanks to everyone who came to the Worldwake case tournament this past Sunday.  And please don't hesitate to email us with any questions at all.

Due to popular demand we are going to schedule an EDH tournament in the afternoon.

We will try to start it around 3:00, or after the current round of the main event ends, in case anyone playing wants to drop and join the EDH.

Entry Fee $10

Prizes:
All fees paid will be split up into store credit for the top 4 players
in the form of 40/30/20/10% for the top 4.

Players will be split into pods, depending on the number of players.  Winner from each will advance to the next pod.  So if there are 16 players the winner of each will play in the final pod.

If we have 3 pods the winner of each will advance and we will have a tie breaker to determine the 4th, either using a point method or some other way.

Standard EDH rules and banned list will apply.
