This week raiding was a bit slow, as has happened on and off lately.  We did go over to Ony and VoA on Thursday and cleared both in a fairly quick run.  Gratz to all who came out for those, and for the nice loot.  On Friday we did a 10 man ToC run with some folks who had not been in before, and managed to take down the first two bosses.  We did not get past Faction Champs, however; a nearly all ranged, clothie group was not so bueno for us that night.  We had hoped to go back in on Sat. / Sunday and work some more on them, but some RL commitments prevented us from getting a solid group to be able to go in and do it.

We will have some new raids posted via the in-game calendar, and at the website, so please take a look at your calendar and check the website if you are interested in coming.  And keep on running those daily heroics for your Triumph emblems to get your gear upgrades! :-)

Peace,

Hawk

So…. Blizzcon 2009 has come and gone.  It was a great time again this year for most of us, except for those folks who had to work the 12-16 hr. days making the show happen… (and we love you for doing it!).  All of the great things coming up, not only for the new expansion – Cataclysm- , but also for the next patch ( back to Ony!), indicate that we have some exciting times ahead of us!  It was great to meet up with folks at the ‘Con, and share the excitement, and be a part of the great community we have here in BSRM and RC.  If you go into the general forums you will find some pics that Alak took from Blizzcon; thanks Mitch for posting those!  It was a great weekend, and I want to throw out special thanks to Dan (Embera), Mitch (Alakthon), Dana (Cameo) for coming to the show and making it a blast, and also to Tracy (Druni) and Vicky (Kaippe) for driving all the way up to have dinner with us on Sat.  The show was great; the company was even greater.  It is all of you fantastic folks who make playing this game worthwhile, and all of us are grateful to count you as friends.

Finally, I want to give a big thanks to a special someone, but circumstances won’t allow me to mention her name specifically.  But I believe many of you know who I am talking about.  Her dedication, passion, and love for the game, and the community that she created 5 years ago when she started a little guild called Brave Sir Robins Men, makes me proud beyond words.  It has gone beyond just running the guild, and now encompasses her RL, and her part in making this past weekend the fantastic event that it was is immeasurable.  If there is an example of the kind of wonderful people that we have in this guild, she personifies it to the fullest.  Thank you for everything that you did to make Blizzcon 2009 a fantastic experience!

Peace,

Hawk
