TCEP 17 Dinner Update

No comments

Hi everyone! Hope you’re doing well and staying cool! Once again this year, we’ll be doing our usual group outings to Outback Steakhouse (for those who like their food cooked) and Asahi Japanese for those who like sushi. Yeah, you can guess which camp I fall into. Anyway, one of the things we’ve always had [...]

So we always get down to the last page of the program book, and there’s this blank page staring at us, challenging us to name next year’s convention. Everyone throws out ideas (good, bad, ugly) and then we vote. Well, this year, we’re going to let you vote too. Look over the choices below, and [...]

Thought everyone would like to know about a few of the items we have on the schedule for this years convention! Classic Game tournament: To go along with our “Chess” theme, we will be hosting a tournament revolving around classic games such as chess, checkers, backgammon, reversi, mancala, dominos, and the like.

For those who “prefer meat”, I will be be leading the [...]

So, as the once and future Game Room Czar, I thought I’d take a moment to talk about the few planned events that we have during the weekend. I’ve mentioned before that we used to have a lineup of “social” events, most of which have fallen by the wayside. However, we have kept one of [...]

Yes, ladies and gents, we here at Barking Mad have just confirmed that we will be playing host to a Live Action Murder Mystery event at TCEP 16: Craig & Tad against the World Crime League! For as long as there’s been a New Orleans, there have been rumors about what lurks in it’s shadows. [...]

A little bit about TCEP

Hi There! I’m Grayhawk, the most recent conscript to the Barking Mad Board of Directors, and the once and future Game Room Czar. I’d like to take a few minutes to give you an overview of who we are and what we’re about. Tad & Craig’s Excellent Party (TCEP) began many moons ago when Tad [...]

Hi there! Where has the time gone?  Another year has passed and it is once again time for thoughts to turn to summer — fireworks, barbeques, baseball, beaches — and TCEP! We keep growing and changing, but our mission remains the same: put on the best Labor Day Weekend convention in the world!  The heck [...]
