Thanks everyone! We had so much fun in this one. And a great time seeing and hanging out with everyone all weekend.

Nemo & Nemo's mascot presentation was just brilliant.

And thanks to BTD and Pru for all the fun smack talking - for once I can actually back it up

Well that would have been a good idea - ooops. I'm sure some photos will appear on MP at some point.

Thank you everyone! We had such a blast hanging out with everyone this weekend and playing the game.

I told a few of you last night, we had a funny moment during the announcing of the winners. As Andrew started with the third place winner, Katiesue turned to me and said "What did we screw up so badly? We must have screwed something up." Second place finisher announced and she starts "Man, we must have really screwed something up. What quest did we screw up?" I finally turned to her and said, "Well, maybe we won" to which I got a Oh yeah right...you're off your f$%@$%g rocker look. Who knew?

But honestly, after the game I told Katiesue and Mr. Swanie that regardless of how we did, we really got our money's worth. It is just icing on top that we actually won. Kuddos go out to the MA Staff for putting on a really fun, tight, well thought out game.

We'll see you all in April!

Photos I did get after -

And finally ........ Pru's Alice ride.

I am quite jealous of all who got to play. It's been a year now for me. Hopefully I can assemble a crack team by next spring.

Many congrats to Katie Sue et all...

This was one of the best MA's I've ever played. We didn't win anything and I have no idea how we did overall, but it was so much fun! Trivia and eye spys! My favorite elements. Pru was brilliant in the Tomorrowland quest (and overall). She had the "question" figured out after finding only 2 of the eye spys. We wasted some time on an element that had been removed - and I think that effected us overall. That was my stupid fault.

It was a really good game!

The interesting thing was that I hardly knew any of the participants. But we DID know the advanced winners! CONGRATULATONS TO KATIESUE, SWANIE AND MR. SWANIE!

Congratulations to Katie Sue, Swanie and Mr. Swanie!

This was one of the most fun events. We finished quite a few quests this time. The Tomorrowland was awesome. We finished that with the Star Tours and Autopia pieces.

OK, here's a recap of our mascot presentation.

Pru was going to make a felted octopus as our mascot, but she only finished the head and one leg. We wernt going to do anything with but I figured we should at least bring it. So we quickly stuffed it and sewed it's one leg on.

As we were sitting in the ballroom in the morning, I came up with the idea to do an infomercial for our firm a la "Larry H Parker". Our octopus, Octavius Octo was our client "spokesperson" who had was injured in a maritime accident and was now a Septapallegic.

So, Pru did the whole "have you been injured in a maritime accident? Nemo and Nemo can help you" (it was brilliant) and the whole room was laughing. After the initial spiel, I spoke for Octo and said "Nemo and Nemo got me 3 million clams", then Pru closed the spiel.

We came pretty close to winning, but the "Year of a Million Churos" got a bit more audience support. I would imagine they might know a few more people then we did.

After they won, we yelled "APPEAL".
