All you F.DSers should go to the world boardgaming championship in August in Lancaster, PA. It will be fun.
I promise.
That's a very doable trip for me... got a link to more info/registration/etc?
On the note of being close enough for a few-day trip to Lancaster, I'm just outside Washington, DC, so I'm within fairly easy reach of Philly, NYC, Pittsburgh, and State College (someone mentioned knowing a bunch of PSU players, and I happen to be an alum, played my first game of Settlers in the HUB), and not-too-terrible reach of other eastern-US locations.
Anyone else in/near the DC area? Several of my local friends also play, so I could definitely see a Dominion meetup happening here.
