Oh man, I didn't notice that my poster said the 7th and the 8th.

The event is supposed to be scheduled for the 6th and the 7th; starting tomorrow. EEK!

Here's the plan: If enough people show up tomorrow, the event will continue as planned. If not, the event will be postponed until next weekend. Extremely sorry for the confusion.
