Quick Vegas event update:
The registration is filling up a bit quicker than expected actually and I just wanted to reiterate that the Wynn discount is still good (even though the Wynn isn’t cheap particularly). But Vegas is getting busy that weekend so if you’re coming (and I hope you can!) now is the time to sort out room details.

Our Las Vegas event is finally officially announcing tomorrow. But for you here, I wanted to get the information out just slightly early. It's at the Wynn in Las Vegas from August 20-22, and most of us will arrive sometimes the 19th.
The event is officially called "Futbolfest 2021." There's a reason for that name specifically but I won't bore you with it for now. Suffice it to say that calling anything "football" in America is always at risk of confusing people.
