Hiya!
Cowboy and I are going to be in Richmond, VA on July 26-27 and would love to have our Funcom Spades friends meet for a "family reunion" with live spades games and tournaments at our hotel, the Marriott Richmond West. We have over 40 players already signed up and we plan on playing spades all weekend. You can get a room at the hotel for a group discount rate of $69, but you don't have to stay at the hotel to play in the tourneys.
We'll bring the cards and scoresheets, and if you don't have a regular partner to play with in Richmond, we will help you find one there. Social games are free and we give cash prizes to tourney winners.
I made a homepage with more info: http://spadesparty.homestead.com/Richmond0702Info.html
If you have any questions you can send me an email: spades_party@yahoo.com
If Richmond doesn't work for you, check out the other places, like Chicago, Atlanta, New York, Nashville, and St. Louis. Info on all the parties is on our website, along with pictures of past parties. Hope you can come play with us!
