I am in the same boat just praying we can make it this year as I spent half of last year sick in bed with a fever of a 103

Looks Like we are going to make it after all. Yea !!!!!!!! Sure hope to see you there CDBD3rd

Oh hey. Just checking in seeing that we are getting together in a few weeks. I still plan on being there, still hoping to poke us toward the Sevrin Bar again. Place was the bee's knees last year.

Oh, and I think Keith Baker will be joining us.

[TeacherSyn]

I don't plan to go to GenCon itself, but do let me know here if any of the gang are gathering at the Severin Bar or any other bar on Friday, and I'll be happy to attend!

Hello there! I would love to come Friday BUT I have a small problem. In the thread it is hard to find the details. I know you are getting together at 9pm in a bar downtown.

Which bar?

I will be attending Gencon all four days and really wanted to come to a meet up and never found the right information about a meet up before.

Thanks for getting back to me.

[Nklos]

Hey Lady Bronte, good question. I think the problem is ever since we lost the bar we did the party at for years, we have been bouncing locations. My vote is for The Sevrin, part of the omni hotel I believe. They were very accommodating to us and had delis he's drinks and food.

I'll post more info when home, on an iPod now struggling to type.

[Jaggie]

The Sevrin? Works for me.

Here is a link to the Severin bar. It is in the Omni Severin Hotel, just a short walk from the convention center.

Sevrin seemed to work as good as anywhere.

Once we get ahold of that corner by the windows & just start drawing in tables as our party gathers more members.


Have managed to stash back a few bucks for gas. Road trip looking doable, even though I won't be doing the Con. My funding may not support my usual "no lady buys her own drink" practice, but we'll see.

That's ok CD I can buy my own Drinks as long as I get to See you!!! I will have to head over after my TD Run at 9:24 so Text the when and where if you manage to make it :-)

Okay, have made myself obligated to the road trip. Hotwire came thru for me, was able to score a late downtowner for $166.

Now to find the drink recipes and print off a couple so we can train our waitress & bartender.

edit:
...checked map. Slightly more than "4-block walk"... They're counting Lucas Stadium as 1 block. lol.

[Cordovan]

Have fun tonight, everyone!

[TeacherSyn]

Have fun tonight, everyone!

My day is going to be much longer than I planned and may not make it to the gathering (which I'm assuming will gather around 8:30-9).

So everybody have fun tonight, everybody Wang Chung tonight for me if I can't make it.

[Powskier]

suggest to attend ,if never been to a con! You dont have to spend like crazy or get to tweaked on registering for game sessions to much...usually open gaming rooms and other free activities.I DM'd in an open game room ,yrs ago in bay area con.Was alot of fun,ran players thru Sword of Heroes,an old basic module easily converted.All 7 players returned the next night to finish was cool too.

[Plantman81]

I just wanted to say thank you to the many Gen Con'ers I encountered this weekend. I work in a high end restaurant in downtown Indy. Everyone of them were very polite, pleasant, and a pleasure to wait on. They were all good tippers, too. Next year, though, I am going to request off because I want to go, too!!! I hope everyone had a great time.

[cdbd3rd]

They didn't have glasses in my size... :0

[cdbd3rd]

I failed miserably at taking pix this year - both con wide AND the gathering.

Anyone that has some shots, feel free to drop em in.

[cdbd3rd]

Gen Con grew by more than 10%. This year, ... unique attendance of 56,614.

Well, hopefully they'll expand the housing block from the downtown hotels so they last more than a few minutes next year.



Next year's schedule, a little earlier:

Gen Con 2015 will return to Indianapolis July 30 - August 2, 2015.

edit: adding so i can find these easier next year:
