Not for sure. I won't be leaving Eugene until at least Friday at noon, so I won't be in Portland before 3pm, most likely. The fact that I work swing shift will further insure that I'm not going to head north in the early hours. And registration really can't start without me, as I'll have all the lists with me by then.
However, if it's like last year, it will likely go for a couple hours Friday nite... a good guess would be 7-10pm, but don't hold me to that. Any of us manning the tables at that point will pass out badges likely 'til it seems we'll be mostly out people to pass them out to.
And again, if it's like last year, we'll probably amuse ourselves playing things like Chez Geek between registrations. And yes Nyco, we'll actually have DICE this time!
You know you're a sick sad gamer when you manage to find a legitimately random way to roll a D6 without dice, and without a digital watch.
