I fixed the availability issue on the extras - I fundamentally misunderstood part of it. I can fix your ticket, @GHoosdum, just let me know what you were going for.

Fixed the catering question.

Today it hit me: this is the first spring in 6 years I haven't been desperately trying to fix something on the house every spare minute. I've been wondering why I was so organized this year. Man, this is like easy mode!

Final details from event organizers received with more than 12 hours to spare! So good at this game.

Rocket League should be able to happen. Could do 2s or 3s depending on interest. I enjoy Mount Your Friends and Art of Balance for ease/silliness factor and being conducive to console decathalon.

Because Expo communism is in full effect, doing everything (no alcohol) in Pauper mode is only $45. Or, at maximum Hero/Prince mode (with all alcohol), $599. Everything in between is up to you. Keep in mind we don't normally pay for everything up front so if it seems more than usual, that's probably why. It's a pretty average-cost year.

Spoilers: the placeholder sketch is nowhere near the real logo. (I used the direction we didn't go.)

Hmm? What are The Helium Wars, Year 1 you ask? Well, it's going to be an interesting 6 weeks. Plenty of time to fill in some... details.
