A Note from the Chair, GameStorm 17
Some questions have been coming up, so I thought I would post a note:
Why are you out of rooms Thursday night?
Two reasons.
1) We are sharing the space on Thursday with another group.
2) We have more people coming to GameStorm! Even without sharing the space, we’d be getting pretty tight on rooms.
Why is Boardgaming going to be in the Garage?
Again, two reasons.
1) We are sharing the space at the hotel with another group on Thursday and needed to rearrange. Rather than give our members a substandard and cramped event on Thursday, we decided to shift things around.
2) This will solve many of the issues of overcrowding on Friday and Saturday! The garage will easily hold all of Boardgaming, Children’s Events, Miniatures, even the Game Lab!
