I'm not going to be able to at this event, but I just wanted to say that the one time I attended a similar event some months ago, it was a lot of fun. Saw some familiar faces, met some unfamiliar ones, everyone was friendly, and I even managed to stay (mostly) in-character the whole time.
You should all go.
Hell, look at it as part of the EM-led LS games, since it'll be on the games' off-night.
