Day[9] will be staying with me and Qyx so I should be able to follow the schedule and stay in touch with the pla<x>yers. I am hoping I get to meet some WCG people who would help me stay in touch with events. Right now, the response is very slow but I did finally get a response after calling one of the WCG guys up.
Unfortunately, response was very vague. I did get more contact info of other people though (whee). See below:
