apparement la salle serait l'ancienne des 4 premières editions donc aucun probleme pour la trouver.

mais quand je vois l'annonce j'ai envie de dire: enfin un peu de sérieux monsieur stinfo, c'est ça qu'on veut voir.

[stinfo]

Yes The location is the same of 2 years ago, i know the problem of last year, so i chose to come back on old location, and there arent any problem to find it.

I'll try to do my best and to learn from my wrong choise of the past.

Everyone can have a second choiche  :D :D

I'll bring another big artist, i'll fix the prize months ago and now with modern the value of some cards it's really increased, i'll put a fly to amsterdam for the legacy winner, and the legacy it's GP trial, so some news this year.

Byes
