[Bret Hildebran]

The ASLOK Flyer is up and available as of now at ASLOK Pre-Reg Link. We're back at the Bertram Inn in Aurora, OH for another year. Rooms remain $125/night - that group rate is good through September 3rd so do not wait forever to book.

If you have any questions or see any issues please let me know.

Look forward to seeing everyone in Greater Cleveland in October...

I am arriving at 3pm (Airport) on Friday 2nd. If anyone is at similar time could share a ride. Or maybe other options available?

I am probably picking up Phillipe and Andrea at Hopkins around 4 PM on Friday to take them out to the hotel. If you are coming in at 3 PM and could hook up with them when they arrive at 4 PM, I would gladly take you with us. Let me know what time your flight gets in and on what airline. I will let you know which airline they will be arriving on also. It is a forty-five-minute drive to the hotel. PM me your details on gamesquad. Dave

Do you have a confirmed location?

Haven't seen anything on attendance yet. Hope that's due to Bret being busy rather than issues with RSVPs.

On Discord, Bret mentioned that he is processing the registrations. Perhaps visit the ASLOK site; there is a “who’s registered” link.

Been checking the Pre-Reg list link, but nothing's been posted yet.

I've booked through to the Monday, as I have only a 3 hr drive home. Are the gaming tables/room open into the mid afternoon on Monday, or do we get kicked out?

Good gunnin to you and a safe drive.

I've been there once on the last Sunday. A lot of people clear out by supper time. I think that I've heard of some Monday playing of people with odd flights home. I will post the question on Discord for Bret, although he checks in here once in a while as well.

Give him my best regards. I don’t do Discord.

At this hotel we've never had need for any space on Monday. We do have the room all day Sunday at least. If needed I can likely find space somewhere on Monday for you would be my guess. The biggest issue will likely be finding an opponent as recently most folks have used Sunday as a travel day so there are typically only a few games going on Sunday and while a few folks do stay over until Monday most are leaving in the morning. Anyway - if you find an opponent for Monday and need space, let me know and I'll talk to the hotel - my guess is we can hook you up if needed.

I've been negligent. We were at 42 through July - by comparison that's 1 less than last year which had our best attendance post-pandemic (138). August pre-regs have been strong - hoping I can catch up shortly, but...That may be optimistic.

The ASLOK Pre-Reg list is finally updated. The 404 error is gone. We're at 74 thru today which compares favorably to our post-Covid best attendance from last year when we were at 71 thru 8/23.

Also thanks to Paul who pointed out the PayPal "Thank You" page was 3 years old - it should now be updated with proper links to the 2026 flyer etc.

Thanks for all the work you three do to keep ASLOk running. It seemed to be much simpler wbitd. Venues were always the biggest problem.

Make sure you bring yourself out just to hang out for a few. You would be a welcome sight.

Thanks for the kind words. Since hurting my back in 2020 my hands start to get numb after twenty minutes or so of driving. Apparently my brain also as I got lost the last time I tried to make it there a couple years back. Lol I used to drive through Aurora quite often too bitd.
