Hi Everyone:
Just a final courtesy reminder for any last-minute planners out
there -- Ludophilia 7 is THIS Thursday through Sunday. Here are the
critical details. If you have any questions, please ask.
When? - This Thursday, May 18, through Sunday, May 21
What Time? - Doors will be open 8:00am through 11:00pm Thursday through Saturday. 8:00am through about 2:00pm Sunday.
Where? - Country Inn & Suites, 600 Tracy Trail, Crystal Lake, IL 60014 http://tinyurl.com/ludo7hotel
How Much? - Admission is 10$ per person per day (or $30 for all 4 days). Come and go as you please.
Games? - I'm bringing 200+ games, and usually many people bring some of their own as well. If you have a favorite you want to share, bring it! Check the library list at http://tinyurl.com/ludo7lib
Beer? - Yes. Brewmaster Bill will be bringing a nice selection of his professional grade homebrew, but it's definitely considered good form to bring something to share if you'll be partaking.
T-Shirts? - If you gave me your order, pick up your shirts at the door for $15.
Food? - Everyone's on their own, as usual. There are several things within walking distance or a very short drive. (Culvers is basically right across the parking lot.) I don't think I'm planning on doing a group pizza order this year.

Fun? - Definitely. Don't come to compete, come to try new
games or play old favorites with friendly folks.
How Big is This Thing? - Don't expect a giant formal
convention. Expect 30-40 friends and friends-of-friends in a super
informal setting. Many people come only for a day or two, but probably at
least a dozen will be there the whole time. I expect to have 6-8 tables
set up for playing. Thursday will be the quiet day with probably only 2-3
tables running. Friday and Saturday night will probably be busy with all
tables full, if it's anything like recent years.
Hope to see you this weekend!
Brad.
