Welcome back to the Season Two Invitational countdown blog! Yesterday, I introduced you to all the fantastic special guests that will be joining us in Roanoke, Virginia this weekend. From Jason Felix and Matt Stewart to rk post and Vanessa Martin, the Season Two Invitational will be filled to the brim with some of Magic’s most magnetic personalities.
As much as I love playing the game of Magic, my favorite part about going to an event like the Season Two Invitational is the pre and post-tournament hangouts. There’s nothing I enjoy more than breaking bread with old friends, meeting new ones, and telling bad beat stories so ridiculous that no one in their right mind would believe them!
If those three things are right up your alley, the Season Two Invitational weekend is a great place for you to be because we’ve got loads of unique non-Magic events planned that we think you’ll really enjoy. Let’s check ’em out!
Thursday
On Thursday, November 30th from 6-10pm, StarCityGames.com and Rodeo Grande welcome all fans for a special pre-Invitational gathering featuring a Magic: The Gathering team trivia event starting at 7pm, Meet and Greets with some of the game’s most entertaining personalities (appearances and times listed below) and more! Make plans to join us for a relaxing evening of good food, good friends and good fun before the big weekend begins. Mention “Star City Games” to receive 10% off any Rodeo Grande dine-in food purchase (11/30-12/3 only).
