[SUMO]

This is an Email i recieved from Ron this morning. I'm sure most of you got it as well but I wanted to post it here incase ya didnt.

Hello,

Short Answer: Mid August

 After almost a year of working and waiting I am pleased to announce that I am just about ready to reopen.  I want to apologize for the false hope I may have given some of you about reopening in Spring.  The reasons for this involve a shortage of funds on my part in conjunction with my dad not allowing me to touch anything :/ 

 The bathroom is getting fixed this week, followed by a drop ceiling and the floors in the next couple weeks.  Siding should be going on soon after that.  Nothing you guys should have to worry about, main point is: I'm gettin' there.

 Magic players should note I'm am starting to hold unsanctioned drafts at this venue starting Saturday, July 24th.  Fee is $12; anyone interested should contact me.

 Here are a few answers to questions I've been getting from people that have texted, called, emailed, or have stopped me in Tops to yell at me because they're bored or have to drive to Jamestown.

 1. Our new store address is 257 Lake Shore Drive East, Lower-Front Area; Dunkirk, New York 14048-1320.  Our email address is the same, though our phone number will be changing.
 2. The business will not officially open until I go through the proper channels with the city and have a working business telephone number.  I am hoping to have this done by mid-August, in time for college when it resumes.  I want to make sure that the store is presentable to the building inspector which is one of the reasons why things have been taking longer than I would have liked.
 3. Until the business is officially open I am not allowed to sanction events through DCI or POP, which handle Magic: the Gathering and Pokemon respectively.  As such, looking online for our events will not show much of anything, though occasionally checking should be a good indicator of when we're open.  If you see an event at the above address, that's us.
 4. Because I can't sanction events, I am not qualified to run Prereleases or Launch Parties.  Anyone interested in M11 Prereleases and Launch Parties should inquire at Jester's Cap Games in Lancaster & Chautauqua Comics in Jamestown, as they are the closest places to me and should offer both a professionally staffed & organized tournament.
 5.  My new location is LARGER than my previous one.  There is off-street parking, as well as a nearby convenience store and restaurant with take out. 
 6.  I am no longer operating with Gamerz Haven.  They are now located at the D&F Plaza.
 7.  I will likely only be working at the shop part time.  This is based on the following: I received very little business during the week and I now have a full-time job that's I'd like to keep.
 8.  Though nothing is set in stone, I will likely be open on Thursdays & Fridays from 2pm-10pm and on Saturdays & Sundays from Noon-10pm.  If all goes well, I will still be holding Pokemon League on Thursdays from 4pm-8pm; Friday Night Magic from 6pm-10pm; Weekly Magic Drafts on Saturdays at 5pm; Monthly Pokemon Tournaments on Saturdays at 2pm and Dungeons & Dragons on Sundays from 4pm-10pm.  As these events are not set in stone, anyone interested in these events that would like them moved to another day should contact me whenever possible.
 9. The best way to get a hold of me is by my Facebook Page "Water Street Games & Hobby." Other ways include this email address, which I check infrequently or my cell phone 716-785-4282.  Any questions or comments can be addressed and I will reply as soon as I can.

 I hope you all had a good year and hope to see you all soon again.  Thank you, as always for your patience and continuing patronage.
