Again, in the spirit of "I can't find the thread in a wall of threads because I'm blind!" If I missed anything just point it out in the thread, and if someone more official wants to put a different one up that's cool too.
Oh sorry, I should have clarified, I'm not trying to step on toes for the official calendar and things, the purpose of the post was just to have a quick reference of all the forum threads for community events so that as things get busier it's easier to find the one you're looking for to grab updates. I just thought that I might not be the only person who stares at the wall of text listing the threads and forgets what I was looking for and can't find things
Hey folks, I am one of the people putting together the Gamers Gone Wild Event that benswimming referred to in the link above. I have forwarded all the info to Zero Hour for inclusion in the other thread. You can also check here for more details. Hope to see you all there, should be fun and heck, it's taking place right across the street from PAXEast.
