Party small talk: GenCon

[Matt Wilson]

Whoa, only one thread, and that by Clinton? Come on, wallflowers!

So who's going to GenCon so far? Let's have a list, and what are your plans while you're there?

I'm going, and it'll be my first, and I'm pretty jazzed about it. I think I'll have a game ready to shill by then, and that makes me even more jazzed.

Here's my wish list for while I'm there:

*To meet a few of you folks in person and tell you in person your stuff is cool.
*To play in at least a couple games - if not many - run by their creators.
*To have someone check out my game and say, dude, I think this will be fun.
*To discover a few new cool games, and covet them.
*To be generally hedonistic for a few days. It is, after all, vacation time I'm a-spending.

Hope you's all comin'.

[Valamir]

I'm there definitely.
I'm hoping we get a few more Forgeite games going after hours.
I've been told that St. Elmo's Steakhouse in down town Indy is the place to go for large bloody slabs of cow meat.

[C. Edwards]

I know it may end up the red-headed step-child of GenCon, but does anybody plan on attending GenCon SoCal?

When is that? December or something? SoCal is much more accessible for me than Indianapolis, that's for sure.

[Ron Edwards]

Hey,

I'd reeeeally like for someone to step up as an organizer for a Forge booth at GenCon SoCal. Any takers?

Gotta be someone with a company who can afford the initial outlay of funds for a two-three sized booth.

Best,
Ron

Dude, someone pour Ron a beer. He's talking business

serious moment: what are we talking about here in terms of afford? From my experience with shows, booth space is priced in the thousands.

[GreatWolf]

I am hoping to be at GenCon, at least for a day or two.

My goals would be:

--to see more of your smiling faces

--give Legend of Alyria ashcans to the Forgites who want them

--play InSpectres, TROS, and Sorcerer

--sit around and talk about stuff

--buy the latest Button Men (must...feed...the...addiction)

I'd like to go--it's a haul for me--but I'd like to go.

*sips drink*

-Marco

[Jared A. Sorensen]

I WILL BE THERE AND I WILL BE WEARING MY BOOTS THIS YEAR.

- J, eff airport security.

[Mike Holmes]

It'd be more likely that I'd be killed by a mob of midgets than miss GenCon.

What's my goal? The same as the last dozen or so. Play games with cool folks. Oh, and I'll probably have some products to sell at the booth.

Hey, can I bring my guitar? So's I can annoy all y'all with my playin'?

[Paul Czege]

So who's going to GenCon so far? Let's have a list, and what are your plans while you're there?

I'll be there, working the booth, selling print copies of My Life with Master, and running demos.

I have to say that I'd LOVE to contribute to Forge activity at GenCon SoCal.  As for organizing, I don't think I have that kind of fundage laying around.

Jesse

[Ron Edwards]

Hey,

Marco, it'd be great if you could make it, especially if you bring a few JAGS demos.

Oh Jared, the boots? You'd wear the boots? 'Scuse me, everyone, I - I have to step away privately for a (gasp) moment - be right back, I mean not right away, but ...

Mike, the XIG guys will be near us again, most likely, so just bring the axe and hook up to them.

Best,
Ron

[szilard]

I'm hoping to be there for at least part of the time.

I live two hours away from Indianapolis, so I don't really have much of an excuse not to be there, though there is no guarantee that I'll have sufficient funds or a working car.

Dude, you gotta bring it! I don't have a flighty-worthy case, or I'd bring mine and we could form a temporary GenCon band.
