 Georgia V:TES weekend

Steely Tenacity: Atlanta

Power of All: Atlanta
March 29, 2009

2R + F
Constructed: $5 fee

Come join us for a weekend of V:TES in Stone Mountain, Georgia, just
north of Atlanta.  Saturday there will be a draft event that will
probably never be able to be repeated (as Anarchs is long sold out and
the current inventory was purchased for 125% of original retail).
Sunday will have a constructed tournament.

Both events will take place at the White-Wolf | CCP headquarters
building:
2075 Park Place Blvd.
Stone Mountain, GA 30087

It is located in a brick two-story building to the left of the Target
shopping center. Park in front and someone will meet you at the door
to let you in.

There will be free soda and coffee.

Please let us know that you are attending. For those traveling from
out of town, drop me an email before you leave on Saturday morning so
we know you are still coming and we can wait if you are running late.

For out of town travelers, we can put up a few at private homes if you
want to spend a night or two and there is a hotel next to the CCP|WW
headquarters.
