Amazing news – GP Portland

I live in Portland. I love Portland and last night Wizards of the Coast web site went live with the news that Portland Oregon is going to get a GP. Thats right – Portland Oregon is getting a Grand Prix.

For years players have been asking me –  ”When will Portland get a GP”  and I have never had a good answer – well now I do. The Grand Prix Portland will be Sept 11 and 12th.

So Good. So flipping good.

I can’t wait to show off Portland – easily one of the best cities in the world to everyone at the GP.

I know everyone wants details as soon as possible and I have been working for months on getting this event together and will be ready to announce things like location, hotels, artists and side event schedules over the next weeks.

But for now – I’m just so happy to announce that Portland gets a GP.

PTQ Austin in Salt Lake City

I was just told that the PTQ I scheduled has a date conflict with the GP Trial (Seattle). I have contacted my site – The Salt Palace and they tell me that they have a room available on May 23rd – so I am likley switching to that date.

If I can get a date in June or July that doesn’t conflict with other PTQ’s I will do so.

Yes the PTQ in Salt Lake does conflict with the San Jose  PTQ that Conan is running. However its 11 hours drive away – so I don’t think this will affect anyone.
