Anyone want to save money by going in a group? We should organize carpools/plane tickets and setup groups by state.

I can't wait to go! I've been going to MAGFest for the past two years and I haven't regretted spending a single penny!

With so many bands playing and so many people to meet--last year there was Howard Drossin, Grant Kirkhope, and Tommy Tallarico--there's almost no reason not to be able to make it. It truly is one of the best places I've ever been to.

Yeah it would definitely be a great 22nd birthday if I end up going!

Brushfire's been trying to get me to go next year, but I doubt it'll happen.

I missed it last year, but I'll be there for sure this time around.
