EN World Gen Con Gathering??

[Mark]

Having a gathering on Friday night right after the ENnies sounds like a great idea. Count me in for that, WRon!

Last year, I noticed that a lot of folks were taking over conference rooms for their own purposes in the later hours of the night. Or maybe we could meet one last time by our favorite security guard, step outside if the weather is nice, or leave a note on him for latecomers if we decide to move further afield. *shrug*

I look forward to meeting everyone again this year.

I can post! I can post! I've been staring at the boards, reading this thread and unable to comment due to the dns problem.

I strongly recommend that we have our gathering immediately following the ENnies (ie Friday night.) We'll meet in the same room/area that the ENnies are being held. That will be much easier; it's always hard to get people moving after these things, and we know that Eric, Morrus, myself, and a bunch of other EN Worlders will already be there.

Sound good?

I made the mistake last year of volunteering to run a game, and it turned out that talking to people was more fun. I've learned better for this year!

OOOH OOOHH, It would be very good move to meet right after the ENies and in the same room.

That is why I like these boards, everybody seems so darn smart.

I would be up to meeting after the Ennies. That would be cool.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Sounds good to me. Good call P.Cat.

 

[Black Omega]

Yes, sounds good. I'll be at Gencon trying to get in Rokugan games. Me, steal ideas? Never.

 

[William Ronald]

Good call, indeed!

Piratecat, do you have a time and room number yet for the Ennies.

I am looking forward to this.

From this week's news!

-----------------------------
I have confirmation of the time and place of the ENnies ceremony this year. Ryan Dancey has kindly agreed to host the event.

For the first time ever, the ENnie Awards will be held live at Gen Con Game Fair on Friday, August 9th at 8 pm on the 3rd Floor Stage outside of the Exhibit Hall. Please stop by the awards ceremony to help us recognize the products, game designers, companies, and artists who are nominated for their hard-earned awards.

Admission is free, seating is plentiful, and the ceremony begins at 8pm. Don't miss it!
-----------------------------

And there you have it. It should be over by 9ish pm, I'm guessing.

 

[Morrus]

One thing - I'd rather exit the room quickly before I'm "grabbed" by people. The time is fine, but I'd like to have somewhere else to actually go.

 

[Piratecat]

It's hard trying to deal with celebrity.

At least for now we'll gather there and scoot elsewhere. If this changes, we'll post here on the boards. Right before GenCon, we'll set up a sticky thread with all the information in it.
