Unfortunately unless we have a last minute change of plans, Different Worlds won't be attending GenCon this year (the cost just wasn't worth it last year).  If we get some advance notification that Valus is going to win an ENNie then we may fly in at the last minute, but it's not real likely at this point....

Saturday would probably be best to meet and get some grub. Early afternoon would be best. Outside the auction room would be a great place to meet up. Also the Ram Brewery runs some GenCon specials. They have special beer in suvenier glasses, a GenCon menu, and even sell shirts. Anyway hope to see some fellow Acaeum members.

Life sucks.

Oh the pain...time to plug in the blender and mix some Margaritas...

Heh...do what I do when everyone's out at the conventions...lurk on eBay for the cheap BINs!  Cheers!

(Why do you think I keep posting items featuring naked chicks in the "Interesting Items" thread...it's a big distraction ploy. )

What?!

I though for sure it was this weekend.

...just checked and its still two weeks away...wow, that's really late for a gen con.

crap...the glimmer of hope returns.

Well, I am only half way through those margaritas...not gonna stop now... all the kiddies are in bed and wife is out with girls...cheers...time for another round.

How about Friday Night?

Friday and Saturday nights are when they run the "collectables" auction. I believe they are trying to move the times up so people aren't sitting at the auction at 2:00 in the morning. We figured Saturday in the afternoon would be best as some Acauem members might not make it until Saturday. Finding a time when all could meet may be difficult because of gaming commitments. Our suggestion is 1:00PM Saturday for lunch or maybe around 4:30PM for dinner otherwise we will be busy at the auction.
If you just want to meet and not get grub we will be at the auction about 95% of the time it is running(just look for the 2 red-headed guys). When they start auctioning the CCGs we bail. Anyway, looking forward to seeing everyone who attends.

Gonna miss again this year, couldn't get vacation  :?

We (me the wife and a friend) will be there saturday, I am good for lunch around 1pm and dinner around 4:30pm.  I will be easy to spot, I should have blue spikey hair (unless I change colors) and wearing glasses.  I will try to be wearing a GenCon T-shirt from the 2001 GenCon (either black or red).  Meet outside the auction hall?

Well GenCon is just two days away and it looks like several Acaeum memebers will make it. Saturday is still probably the best day to meet up and possibly get some lunch or early dinner. We will be outside the entrance to the Auction Hall at 1:00 PM if you want to get some lunch at the RAM. The menu is posted on the GenCon Forums at GenCon.com along with a picture of the Mug and T-Shirt. Anyway, if you can't meet at those times we will be at the Auction almost the entire time it runs. Sounds like this year will be great fun.



Happy collecting,

Devon
