Wolfgang Baur is this year's co-recipient of the Diana Jones Award for Excellence in Gaming, tied with Jason Morningstar for the game Grey Ranks. The Diana Jones Award is decided on merit, not popularity or commercial success, by a panel of people working in all areas and at all levels of the hobby-games business, who have all distinguished themselves in their field.

Like last year, ECG members are providing manpower to help organize Dragonflight XXIX in August 2008.  Also like last year, the convention will be held at the Bellevue Hilton. 

Our 4th of July sale was a great success. We earned enough money selling new and used games at the Metro Seattle Gamers clubhouse that we are able to secure the rest of the time needed for the Gamefest at Northgate Community Center on November 15th!

The previous two years we used the space up at Third Place Commons in Lake Forest Park. As nice as that was, we've outgrown that space and have decided to move into nicer digs. Thanks to the sale, and our other activities with ConQuestNW and Dragonflight, we've earned enough money to pay for a really nice space.
