I'll see if I can arrange that....

Seriously I have had a lot of fun with those.

I bring some JP promo singles and tip& token cards.

Trade at Saturday. (I have only Vintage deck until Friday.)

Hiromichi.

ON THE Way to that food court--in the corrodor there is a corner that has a vending machine. Water is available here at a reasonable price (half what it is in the center locations). This is last years information and I hope it hasn't changed.

And don't forget Steak n' Shake, right down the street! I've only been to Gen Con twice, but SnS was an important part of both trips!

Sadly, I won't be going this year, spent the vacation funds in Disney :)

Could someone get me 4 Hymn to Tourachs signed by Susan van Camp ?
Just contact me - I would be grateful.

I'm from Bloomington/Normal, the home of Steak and Shake. It's always been strange that this somewhat large chain actually sold off it's first location about 7 years back. Until I realized it was on a flood plain and it would get flooded every few years..;-)

Gencon was short for me this year, I left early Friday to head back to the store, but it was a good time while I was there (Wed, Thurs, early Fri). Went 7-0 at the 'Trade Day' mini-master event...rar!

Sorry didn't see this till I got back. I probably could have picked them up for you as Susan was signing. Unless you wanted 4 APs. She was asking $300 each for them.

Yep, most reasonable place to eat--wonder where they get their beef though....

Well, also, I had a problem with email while there. I was out of my room from 9am-6pm at the Exibit Hall/gaming area. Eating time took up a bit as I was usually with Peter at some "dinner" with people he knows. Played a bunch of Burning Wheel and by mignight fell into bed totally exhausted--never even thought about checking email.

Really really enjoyed my time with board members at Champions. Wish we had more time--but I was running out of stories so it was good we split.

Looking forward to the pictures.

Agreed- Having a beer at champs with Gary was GREAT!!! I'm trying to get back into the 'daily grind.' Once I get back on track, I will post the picture of us all.

Man I am sorry I could not meet up with you guys. I did not have a car and our hotel was 10 miles outside the city so I was kinda lost. I just got back from the trip today actually. After driving with some friends to Gencon from Philly, I flew to Phoenix for 4 days then flew to SF for 6 days. Hope you all had a great time at the con. I for sure am going back next year, and will have better bearings as it will not be my cherry breaking Gencon the 2nd time. Jason

also, I just had to share this from Gen Con... I managed to find the only two Disney Princesses, get them together and have them take a picture with my Disney altered P9! (As an aside, these ladies did not know one another and weren't aware that anyone else dressed in Disney)
