Letter from the General Manager: Saturday Gaming

Dragon's Lair LogoTo our valued customers:

Due to a dispute with our management company, Dragon's Lair Comics & Fantasy® Austin will be delaying all Saturday gaming until after 5 p.m. effective June 11, 2011. This will include scheduled events and open gaming.

All other events and open gaming will remain unaffected and will suffer no disruption.

We have every intention of still hosting your regular events with a later start time. It is our sincere hope that this dispute will be settled as amicably and expediently as possible.

We apologize for any inconvience this causes to your normal shopping adventures with Dragon's Lair Comics & Fantasy® and appreciate your continued patronage.

Thank you,
Angie Blackmon
