@ Andrew- Yes, these will be at drinking establishments and you need to be of drinking age (see above). However, for each of these dates we will be attending non-drinking events in the area as well (please e-mail me for details) and would be happy to meet with you.

Hmmmm....what to ware? I am a Ninja by training, but a Pirate at heart...this decision will require some meditation...and some rum.

Unreal... I haven't seen anything like this since the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Jon told me Ninjas vs. Pirates was a big deal but I didn't believe him. How wrong I was!

WTH....I wasn't invited? If you come to AZ, I will be there...funny thing is this is right around the tentative release date for NvP.

Mmmm... wenches. Nice pics, Davey. When are you going drinking next here in hippie town? It's awful nice outside right now...

No, this is not a typo...the TGB Boot Camps are designed to be as easy as possible for anyone interested to attend. Commonly, we find that travel costs wind up being much more of a challenge for indies than the cost of the TGB boot camps themselves.
