Would you mind adding JP Comics & Games to your list? I'll be running FNM there starting June 25th, and at least through July. The format will be Booster Draft, $15, and it looks like we'll have a nice turnout :) The store is great, sells some pretty awesome board games, great comics, and has a wonderful store owner. Plus, an adorable guard dog named Peanut. Event starts at 6:30pm on Friday, here's the address:
