Happy Birthday Gary! So this is where you have been hiding.

I am coming to the Lake Geneva Trolllord Con for which i am arriving tommorow midday. I look forward to finally getting a chance to meet you.

Offers still open for that gathering at your abode?

Hi Kerry!

Good show, and yes. We are having a pre-Lake Geneva Gaming Convention "open porch" at our place on 316 Madison Street* on thursday evening. There'll be food, but it is a good idea to BYOB. Haven't the foggiest idea who will show up, but it should be a lively gathering

See you on the morrow then,
Gary

*Madison street is a N-S one only two blocks (west) of the main N-S street in town, Broad Street--then Cook and then Madison. We are a block and a half north of Main Street and the Library Park and Lake. The school parkk is accross the street from us, The place is a light yellow victorial with a large, glassed in front porch with a gazebo.

Here's wishing many more happy returns of the day, Gary!


Don't push yourself too hard -- we'll wait.

Just so,

I'll be doing articles and short stories soon, I believe, and then from there I can see about module design.

Cheers,
Gary

My folks and I are going to try and make it there in time. Depends on what time we get into the area. Its a fair bit of a drive.

But if we happen to miss it, my dad said to pass along his thanks for the invite and assorted polite noises as the brits do.

Thanks...

Likely the evening meals during the con will be caught with a bunch of others at a pub--the Next Door Pub in fact, a Pizza joint much beloved in the original GenCon (Lake Geneva) days). So maybe a drink, eh? Who can say...

Cheerio,
Gary
