Just to clarify, this thread is not part of the contest. The link above referred to the thread you'd be forwarded to (not "this thread"), it was poorly worded. Please, submit your entry again here: viewtopic.php?t=1382

Man...I had planned to be in attendance for this but I am not going to be able to due to some serious family illnesses. I really wish I could make it to Vegas for this one though, sounds like it's going to be one hell of an event. Good luck to you guys.
