Joe Andrews, a GamingPeak member, will be hosting the World Series of Spades (Grand Prix) this coming November. If you're interested, visit http://www.grandprixtournaments.com/ for more information. This event is one of few events that allow players from online sites to get together in real life to play and have a good time. 

(GamingPeak is not affiliated with this tournament, but I'm pointing it out here in case anyone here is interested.)
