The Arcadia Battle Academy is meeting again tomorrow night. We're meeting every other Tuesday now at the Comic Stop. If you're interested, it's 6pm to 8pm and it's all Pokemon all night. I just wanted to post a reminder to all those attending that the new Secret Wonders expansion is nowavaliable . I know some of you guys are working hard to beef up your starter decks. The most important thing you can do is get a good bunch of supporters in there. Secret Wonders actually introduces some great new supporters like Roseanne's Research and Team Galactic's Mars. It's also got two new Lvl. X Pokemon for the Psychic and Dark decks out there. I think we've got about twenty people right now, kids and adults. We'd love to have more though. If you're into the card game or you want to get into it you should definitely come by.
I'd also like to direct everyones attention towards a couple Child's Play auctions.
The first is a PAX 2007 signed Guitar Hero Guitar. I actually remember seeing this thing making the rounds at PAX this year and the list of autographs is pretty impressive. Here's a "mostly complete list":
* Tycho and Gabe
* Wil Wheaton
* Jonathan Coulton
* Caitlin Glass (Winry from FMA)
* Gus Sorola, Geoff Ramsey, and Burnie Burns (Simmons, Grif, and Church from RvB)
* Harmonix Employees (Makers of Guitar Hero): Alex Rigopulos (Co Founder), Sean Baptiste (Community Director), Dan Teasdale (Senior Programmer)
* Dave Grossman (Co-Creator of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and the new Sam and Max)
* Ron Gilbert (Co-Creator of Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion)
* Members of Optimus Rhyme
* Members of The MiniBosses
* Liz Enthusiasm from Freezepop
* MC Frontalot
The auction actually ends tomorrow so if you're interested best to get over there now.
The other auction is for all your WOW players out there. Shelbi of the Bronze Kettle is auctioning off her ridiculously cute Warcraft illustrations. You'll get a drawing of your character that you can use however you like as well as a little charm you can attach to the mobile device of your choice.
The auction ends on the 15th so follow this link for more details and to make a bid.
Also a reminder that you can now purchase tickets for the Child's Play dinner and Auction. Details and tickets here.
Thanks to everyone out there in the community supporting Child's Play this year. We should have our first update to the donation bar soon.
