ENnies and the EN World Gathering in 2003

[Desdichado]

Would we want any sort of organized activity at the EN World Gathering? EN World Trivia perhaps. Or do we have enough talent for a little free entertainment. (Don't look at me. My singing may have inspired the spell Wail of the Banshee. )

Yikes! ENWorld karaoke night at Gen-Con? I'm there, man!

Getting a booth might be too much to swing for (I imagine they're expensive, and no matter how much goodwill ENworld has, I doubt you'd get publishers to even collaboratively spring for our own booth). However, depending on the physical layout of the space in Indianapolis, there might be some meeting rooms available that we could commandeer. Having set up computers at McCormick Place here in Chicago for my company, I know that fair organizers can be persuaded to contribute space for the press; and since we have a bit of an "in" with GenCon's organizers, an arrangement might perhaps be made for a complementary space not directly on the show floor?

In any case, I'll be happy to volunteer to organize or man the booth when the time comes.

Hmm, maybe Angelsboi can bring Kevlornswarth (Lorn) from Angel to do psychic readings during the karaoke part of the ceremony.

I would be willing to show up at a booth, or at least check in a few times a day. We could probably set up a physical message board.


Good ideas, everyone!

I'll be the booth babe.

I'm sooooooo sorry Eric. I just can't resist.

Hmm, when I come out on stage I want to hear ...."I Wish I Was A Little Bit Taller" by Ski Lo.

Naw, gotta go with "Short People" by Randy Newman.

An appropriate song, Avatar. It skewers intolerance. (Mind you, some people did NOT get that when it came out.)

Of course, Eric could perform "Rambling On" but I am afraid someone will just request "Freebird".

 

[William Ronald]

Any more suggestions, people?

If not, I would like to thank everyone who came to the EN World Gathering. I am already looking forward to next year's gathering.

It bears mentioning again...

Thanks William! You did a great job getting the gathering together!

Thanks also to NeghVar for those badges!

And, it was great meeting all of the people who were able to attend!

I see a lot of these suggestions involve MONEY. who is going to foot the bill? I think everything went rather well. I would only add,as many have previously, more chairs. The consession stand problem I don't thin will change but perhapse a little more room could be squeezed out. Also next time you guys need more mics. maybe one on the stage at the podeum(sp?). Eric did a good job as the stand in human mic but... The booth idea is great. maybe you could get some of the companies who are up for awards to sit for a bit and shamelessly plug the website and their products.

We could also have a huge mock up of a d20 as a stage prop.

Maybe also a slide show of what the ENnies are, a mention of the board, and how everything is judged. (We could have fun with this one.)

They have a big d20 in the WotC Castle, I could see it being rolled down the hall to the ENnies!
