Often once the rounds are announced there's a small frenzy of people looking up banks and looking for people who have knowledge of the games.</div><div>5) Try out the weird stuff like the mini-TV Duck Hunt, Attack from the Back, etc. These are often one-of-a-kind things that are tons of fun.</div><div><br></div><div> --- Dave</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 10:46 AM, Lesley Ropp via FSPA <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fspa@fspazone.org" target="_blank">fspa@fspazone.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi!<div><br></div><div>This is my first time at Pinburgh and I'm pretty excited.
