What about starting a little earlier here in America so the Europeans don't have to play into the night? Penger is the only active Aussie, right? He'd be the only one affected by the earlier American start time, no?

I am interested in playing... but am unsure of my availability in the next couple of weeks. I'll keep my eye on this though.

Live 1 on the books, time to think about Live 2! Any suggestions for dates? A few are suggested here:

This time we want to have 7 or more that are definite confirms... maybe's wont count. To encourage that, we can make the date flexible.

I was thinking a 12 noon (california) start time, 2 hours earlier than last time to give the folks in Europe a start around 7-9pm.
