Details for MAGFest 6 have been announced. It will once again be the first weekend of January, from the 3rd through the 6th, in a new location at the Hilton Mark Center in Alexandria, VA.

The discounted hotel rate from previous years continues, at $99/night this year, but reservations are not open yet. An announcement will be made once the room block is open. In addition to being accessible by any major highway on the east coast, the hotel offers a shuttle from DCA.

While too soon to confirm a guest list, many of previous year's attendees are likely to return, as well as retaining the familiar format of games, music, and fun.

Brendan's recently revamped the MAGFest site with a new color scheme, logo, and layout, as well as a spiffy radio player. We can only assume that this, along with the text in top area, means an announcement of the official date and location can't be too far off.

You can probably leave some comments about it here.

Hey guys, Brendan and comany are very close to signing a contract, but they need YOUR help to decide which weekend to take. Get your asses over to www.magfest.com right now and let them know what's up.

Seriously. It would suck balls if you couldn't go because you didn't say so before hand.

Brendan posted this recently on Facebook:

So, last year I had a revelation: "Let's go on a roadtrip and promote MAGFest!" But, I was a bum (I guess I still am) and we couldn't pull it off. But damnit, I can now! So, I did a handful of planning and mapping and phonecalls and talking and stuff.

Holy Crap, what a weekend. Wayyyyy too much stuff happened this year to put in ONE news post! Look for articles to appear as we sober up and can get our thoughts back in order. Read more for a few highlights, though!
