Xianti, I agree that Stars would probably draw more people....however if Absolute will be more accomodating and helpful in this matter then I'm sure people can set aside thier prejudices for this one tournament to support Boondock Saint.

Perhaps Thursday August 11th at either 9 or 10 pm Eastern US time would be a good day. That way it would not conflict with the Gauntlet and since it is not Friday more people would be inclined to participate. (won't conflict with weekend plans) It would also give us six days to spread the word about the torney. We could post the tourney invitation on Pocket Fives and 2+2....obviously we would just be looking for sheer numbers to participate.

I will be out of the house today until 3-4pm eastern time....If you could contact your Absolute person that would be great....if you would like me to write a letter to Poker Stars I would be glad to do it....just let me know how I can help to push this foreward.
