[/B][/I] We know the area, it is close to several of our team, and is near a major international airport ([URL='https://www.metroairport.com/about-dtw']DTW[/URL]) and several major highways.

[/B] It's a decent time of year weather-wise in Michigan and not during peak travel season, so hotel rooms are more available and flights aren't as expensive. It also isn't competing with too many other cons. [B]Will a lot of the Chaosium team be there? [/B] Yes, many of us already have it on our calendars. We are still working on the Guest of Honor list, but it will certainly include a number of people you think of when you think of Chaosium. [B]What kind of events will the con feature? [/B] The focus will be on all of Chaosium's games, past, present, and future! Lots of games, freeforms, and seminars. It's your chance to meet many of our authors, artists, and editors. Feel free to contact us with event suggestions, especially if you want to help run them. [B]Will Chaosium be selling products and merch there? [/B] YES.
