I'll be there.

Maybe, you, me, and Capo can do a diplogaming breakout session.
Maybe CapTVK will show up again?

Could you please provide a link to the thread on CFC as well... it sounds interesting!

What am I going to tell them? We cancel the vacation because I'm going to a game convention in the USA?
I'm currently planning my vacation to Denmark in that same time frame, with friends.
