And this is factoring in the blizzard predicted for that day!

Local Warming, NES Style!

[MachineHead]

Sounds good. This is going to be so badass!

[thewiseone91]

Nope if the four don't sell we will have them available to purchase before 3pm that day

 

[atilla]

Well, ya never know....ror

If you were undecided you were defaulted to M9-7. You will have to find the table selling the t-shirts, that is where you will sign your waiver and sign in. You will be given a wristband and then the staff will direct you from there. For anyone else, that is where you can go to buy a spot. We have a limited amount of spots available on site.

Well, ya never know....ror

[gunner30]

If you're attending, and you're hungry... and you feel like helping out a friend of mine.. stop by this pancake breakfast in Athol for a friend with ALS. Thank you guys

Definitely wanna try to make this. ALS is a terrible disease and I wouldn't wish it upon anyone.

Pancakes, on the other hand, are always welcomed.

I'm lazy and shit. Did the actual address/gps coordinates get posted? The FB event only says athol.

I'm sick with the hepherpaids but am still trying to get down there but don't know where to go, haha...

I got home not too long ago from the sneak preview event before tomorrow. The site looks great. Had an awesome time with the M9 flamethrower. My hands still smell like "victory".

Met Lip and June4th out there and hope to meet more NESers tomorrow.

(Address Deleted)
There is a big red sign and long driveway to get down. Park in the paved area and then you will have to walk to the a clearing. Map apps and GPS may direct you further down the street.







Tell the people at the gate that you are NES and then check in and donate at the field.

Update!
Here is the schedule for the day guys. The address will be distributed shortly. Rain or shine we are a go!
