EXCELLENT, aku! Hopefully we don't scare you too much. After all, it's your first Do.

Should be a lot of fun.

Alliance has just informed me that we have a reservation for Encounters on Friday at 8PM for 18 people!^ I don't think we could have a better location for a bunch of FT'ers.

That is SOOOO cool, especially if they have the scaffolding down (I cant remember the timeline for the full restoration to be wrapped up).

I wonder if this will be the first FT event held there since the long-awaited reopening?

I just looked at the DO schedule again and it looks like it's going to be a really fun weekend. I'm sure some of us will have some great trip reports to write after it's all said and done.
