I never played the Softball game or anything, but it's great to see all this buzz. You are doing a great job of getting me pumped for SPX.

It doesn't sound like you did, but I figured I should mention that we meant no ill will towards any fans or organizers of billiards. It's just not our thing, is all, and we figured there might be others who would rather do something out-of-doors. Let's just hope it doesn't rain... *fingers crossed* Oh and Karon – I hope you didn’t take offense at our organizing an alternate Sunday thing.

For any interested parties, we don't actually know if there is a parking lot, so if there is not a parking lot, just meet in the lobby or somesuch place at 12:30 on Sunday. Keep in mind that we are just a bunch of dorks with a soccer ball so if you are heavy on competition you may want to steer clear because we suck at sports and we are just in it for the camaraderie and fun. I'm sure some people will enjoy billiards, but if soccer is more your thing, feel free to meet up with us on Sunday and we'll figure out a plan. Hey thanks for posting this!

With the change in location and the later dates an appropriate park could not be located and the weather could be an issue. However, we wanted to continue the tradition of a final Sunday social event for exhibitors. This year instead of outdoor softball we will have indoor billiards. I have had a good response to the request that exhibitors RSVP for the social. I understand billiards isn't for everyone. Personally I always used the Sunday picnic to visit rather than watch the game as I find softball boring. But a chance for exhibitors to get together and visit has always been the goal as they usually spend conventions trapped behind their tables. Whether that is with pool tables or soccer field, that goal is met. One of the information emails sent to the exhibitors included this info:
