Originally Posted By Moderation Ok, so through fair winds and fickle fate, this just happens to be the week me and the Tuppence are going to be there- we were already scheduled for these 4 days before the preview lottery.

How many AP holders are going to be shooting for a mid week preview? How many of the SoCal APs are going to pass on the Wed/Thurs lottery dates because they are blacked out then?
