Are you attending Gen Con 2009?

[Rokes]

Simple question. Are you attending Gen Con this year?

Of additional note, I found the 2008 demographics quite an interesting read. Apparently 45% of attendees spent more than $200 in the Exhibit Hall!

Not this year; too busy at work, and I'm trying to buy a house eek.

 

[EricNoah]

Nope.

 

[Twowolves]

Yes, and this will be my first GenCon ever.

Thanks to Paizo and Pathfinder RPG!

Shouldn't this thread have been forked from the "Drinking and Whoring for XP" thread?

 

[Crothian]

Yes for I think the seventh year in a row even!!

 

[SteveC]

I haven't missed one since 1977, so yep: I'll be there! It's always a great time.

 

[Shemeska]

Yep!

 

[Festivus]

Pay cuts + extra work load = no GenCon for me.

 

[kenmarable]

Unfortunately no.

Had a pretty good run with 5 or 6 years in a row, but then missed last year to go on our 10th anniversary trip (to Seattle and Pacific coast ironically). This year we simply can't afford it. Well, technically the past couple times we went we couldn't afford it, but this time we realize that we can't afford it.

And I am not surprised at the average attendee spending over $200 in the dealer's room. I know I typically spent that on artwork alone! Then on Sunday when you get the really crazy deals from people not wanting to ship so much stuff back, it's very, very easy to spend a lot of money there.
