I will be attending this event, and I am also offering to carpool any other interested members in the Illinois area to their hotel to participate if needed. I have also reached out the Halo Canon to see if he will want to participate, and want to plan to stream some of the gameplay content to our Twitch. I will be talking with TurboCharizard about it as soon as he becomes readily available.

Just a reminder this events is quickly approaching, and as one of the first events of the Midwest we would love to see more guests make it out for a casual weekend of games, photos, and friendships! Planning for a graphic to go out starting Friday with reminders following throughout the week now that E3 is slowing down!
