Hi All:

We welcome all NSU Card Talk members and guest to the Card Talk Member Gathering at the May 2013 Philly Non-Sports Card Show.

This show's NSU Card Talk Member Gathering will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn (1787-B Airport Rd, Allentown, PA 18109), our host Hotel, in the Lehigh Valley Room. During this show's Card Talk member gathering, we'll be hosting an Artists' Q&A Panel featuring some of the exhibiting artists from the show (exhibiting artists at the show include: Matt Glebe, Mick Glebe, Rhiannon Owens, Sean Pence, Elaine Perna, Tony Perna, and Jeff Zapata) as well as Laura Inglis and George Wright. During the session, we'll talk about the "In Your Dreams" feature in the current issue of Non-Sport Update as well as the projects the various artists are involved in.

As usual, we'll discuss what's new with NSU at the start and offer up a few prizes at the close of the meeting. All registered Card Talk members (registered as of March 15, 2013) will be eligible to win any prizes we have. To keep things fair, once we give away a prize to one family member, husband/wife, etc. that will take that group out of the running for any other prizes.

The gathering will start at 8:15 on Sunday, May 5 and will last approximately one hour. Light refreshments will be served including coffee, donuts, and bagels.

We invite all Card Talk members (and their guests) attending the show to come to the gathering. Space will be limited and there is no cost to sign up. I have sent invites through the Eventbrite system to many of your who have attended previously.

HOW TO SIGN-UP
Please only sign-up if you can make it, as we hate to turn anyone away and then have empty seats. We're using the EventBrite system once again to facilitate sign-up:

Hey, not to be a killjoy or a hard%$# but remember, it's only dealers in the room on Friday. We're pretty strict about it and have had to kick some people out previously.

Yeah, I know, I know...but there's no "nice" way to say that.

Sorry about the confusion.
Let me clarify my statement....." a few hours" which is approx 36 hours for me, is, but, a tear drop of the sands of time in the hourglass, compared to the time between now and the last time I saw everyone out here.
See everyone Saturday morning. Take care,
Paul
