[GenCon '07] - Non-Exhibitors Wednesday Meetup Plans (?)

[Nev the Deranged]

For those of us (if, in fact, there are any besides my crew) who are coming into town on Wednesday, but are not Exhibitors, and therefore are prohibited from helping out in the exhibitor hall (which I will sorely miss, mind you), I'm interested to know who is showing up when and if they'd be interested in doing anything.

Toward the evening we can, one assumes, hook up with the Exhibitor types for dinner and late chatting/gaming, but since  I, at least, will be showing up earlier in the day, it might be fun to have lunch and hang out, or whatever.

Alternatively, if nobody else is coming in that early who does not already have plans, I'd be interested to know that as well, so that I and my peeps can make plans on our own.

Thanks!

I will be showing up on Wednesday.  Not sure when, but sometime between lunch and dinner.

Last year a lot of us got together for the Diana Jones Award (and general chatter) on Wednesday night at Jillian's on South Meridian Street. The award will be given away at the same location this year. Lots of "Forge folk" and others were on-hand last year. Lots of fun...

Regards,

Matt

Hey guys,

I invite all of you to the Diana Jones ceremony, and I'd also like to encourage exhibitors and non-exhibitors to exchange cell phone numbers for dinner hookups, for all evenings during the con including Wednesday.

I'd really like to emphasize that this isn't a two-tiered community - we're role-players together, and who's published and who's exhibiting is just a detail. So Nev, Matt, Matt, and whoever, contact anyone you'd like to exchange numbers and to make sure that we affirm our solidarity and not let arbitrary distinctions (the necessity of exhibitor badges and non-exhibitor badges) create artificial barriers.

Best, Ron

[Nev the Deranged]

Aww... now I feel all warm and fuzzy. *g*

IIRC, the DJ ceremony started lateish, yes? I remember heading over there after dinner last year... but my memory is slipping in my dotage, so I could be wrong.

Mostly I just remember passing around that one game with the insane calculus equation encumbrance rules for intangible movement through solid objects.

[Nev the Deranged]

So, for anybody that may be around earlier than dinner, is anybody interested in getting a short game of something simple going? I was thinking maybe Great Ork Gods or something along those lines with a low learning curve and not too serious, sort of an icebreaker.

And of course there's always Jungle Speed... *eg*

Heya,

PM me if you'd like to exchange cell numbers.


Peace,

I'm game for a Wednesday afternoon game.  I'm also up for gaming on Sunday night if anyone else is leaving Monday.
My current plan is to game A LOT for 5 straight days and nights.

Amen to that, brother.

I believe we are taking off Sunday... lemme check... yeah. I usually take off after the big post-con dinner so I can get back before the weekend catches up with me.

Okay, I don't recommend anyone else do this, but since I'm not worried about it getting abused, my cell # is 847 401 7671. I don't normally answer numbers I don't recognize (that's what voice mail is for), but during cons I will obviously waive that. Also, text messaging is the sheezy.

Ok, I've looked around trying to figure out where and when the DJ ceremony is held, but apparently it's a secret? Or my google-fu just sucks.

I'm arriving Tuesday night and leaving early Monday (in the early AMs), I'm up for gaming.
My cell phone is +972-545-909-638 (I don't fear it being reaped online, because: ) sadly though, you need to have international calls enabled to call me.
I'm staying at the Embassy Suites, I guess I'll sit at the lounge and say hi to everyone who arrives early. Sign me up for Great Ork Gods.

The Diana Jones Award is held at 9 PM, 2100.

Thanks, Guy! That's half the information I needed, heh. Although, in both regular AND military time, so, bonus!

I will dig up my printout copy of Great Ork Gods and bring it with, so if we cross paths, I'll be prepared. I'm sure I will end up in the Embassy at some point.
