    Default GenCon 2011?

    Who's going this year?

    Any plans?

    After last year, I bought my own deck of Ultimate Werewolf cards. So we could possibly have two games going at once.

    Meeting
    Serpentine Hall- Thursday, Friday, and Saturday- 7 PM.

    I want to go. I do have the money at the moment, and am planning on it.

    Last year, turned out I couldn't though, so I'm not entirely planning on it happening.

    Will be there, but I haven't decided for how many days or who I'm going with just yet (I'm thinking of having some sort of tournament for my friends to compete in to help me decide), but I'll be there.

    Well, I'm hoping that my class/work schedule for the summer will allow my attendance.

    As is usual, however, I tend to hang out with old college friends most of the time. Assuming my presence, I tend to try to hit a Playground meetup at least once.

    I may or may not be working event reg this year. If I am, I'll be there. If not, I will sadly most likely not be in attendance.

    *cough*

    I'm coming, and I'm bringing about 2 friends.. also as I'm driving..

    I'm willing to pick people up along the way provided they aren't TOO out of the way of my route.

    Also a portion of gas, as that isn't cheap. Good news is that I drive a 4 door that isn't too compact so I can fit about 5 people in without it getting too uncomfortable.

    When was the meeting last year? 7 pm? I think that time worked out really well last year, so I was hoping to use it again. Thursday through Saturday.

    Time and money reasons mean I will most likely be attending the same way I did last year- 1 day, probably Friday. I'll certainly be there, just probably not for the full length of the con.

    Well maybe that would. But luckily, it's 700 mile east of here and NOT somehow entirely between my apartment and downtown (noted for only being about 5 or 6 miles apart).

    I'll be there for certain. I already have one off-grid game planned (a Gamma World game, "Gamma-tical Errors," and may run a second (Ghostbusters). I'll be setting up and tearing down the ENnies booth again and will, of course, be at the awards ceremony again. No word yet on whether or not I'll be running the visuals at said ceremony.

    The meet up at GenCon is the only one I'll be at this year. I'm going to Alabama next month and Minnesota in Sept for various reasons.

    Alarra and I have already purchased our tickets and made hotel reservations as well. We'll be there with bells on.

    Alas, my daughter won't be joining us this year. She's due with my second grandbaby about a week after GenCon so travel will be ill advised.

    Thank you! And Alarra and I'll be very disappointed if we don't at least bump into each other again if you're going to be there.

    We may want to consider a different location for the meetups given the changes to the layout of the convention center in general and the movement of most of gencon to a different area of the building. I don't know what the new areas are like, but I hear that there will be more open mtg spaces around the new area. Any Indy residents have any better info about the new areas?

    They gave us those nice pamphlets last year thanking us GenCon folk for bringing so much business into the city and excitedly talking about the renovations to the convention center that would stupid hugeify it this year. Didn't you read yours?

    SweetRein and I will, of course, be in attendance. Looking forward to seeing everyone again!

    I'll see what I can do, but no promises on results. Good thing we've still got five months. Gives me plenty of time to check it out, which my procrastinating self will need.
