This week at The Gathering Place, we’re getting spookier than usual! This week is our Halloweekend Party, happening on Saturday specifically! We’ve also got the event everybody’s been excited about, the return of the king, JANK is BACK baby! Jank 5: The Huffening is this Sunday! Get your Sharpie hand ready and your brain ready to rumble for some of the biggest, best and wildest prizes Jank has ever seen!

Click here for all the details on the Halloween Party this Saturday — as well as what we’re doing next week for Halloween proper. But, in the meantime, here’s the schedule of events:

  • MTG Duskmourn SEALED (with prerelease kits!) at 4pm
  • Crafts at the bar at 5pm – Paint a lil’ pumpkin wood cutout with your fav bartenders in town!
  • Spooky-Oke starts at 10pm with your friend and ours, DJ Leo! It’ll be a graveyard smash, guaranteed.
  • Special Commander pods prizing, Halloween-related, come play and be rewarded!

Of course, Jank Bank 5: The Huffening. We can’t do much more without talking that event over. The prizes are crazy, the games are gonna be crazier, honestly this is about to be some of the most fun possible to have playing MTG at TGP here in NC. Check out all the details in our post here, and remember Jank 5 has a cap of 50 attendees. Space is limited! Register today if you haven’t already!

With two heavy-hitters happening this weekend, we don’t want to detract by talking about November just yet. We’ll do a full “This November at TGP” post next week. Of course, as always, you can find the monthly and weekly calendar of events right here.

What we can and will close with is this:

*** NEW MERCH ALERT ***

New TGP merch, new Alpha Pie merch, and all the designs are SICK. Check ’em out and buy ’em online or in the shop.

Thanks for reading, have a great rest of your week, and we’ll see you around!

Shop Hours Monday Closed Tuesday 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM Wednesday 2:00 PM to 12:00 AM Thursday 2:00 PM to 12:00 AM Friday 2:00 PM to 2:00 AM Saturday 11:00 AM to 2:00 AM Sunday 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM
