Gencon 2003 - Getting There is Half the Fun

[HiLiphNY]

I'm sure I'm as excited as all of you out there who are lucky enough, or a good enough diplomatic envoy to convince your wife/husband that you need to go to Gencon. Good work all of you! I had initially though that I would be riding the Harley from NYC out to the Con and making a nice trp of it. . . .alas, or rather blessedly, it shall not be via Hog.

With my newborn child due only two weeks after the con, it has been suggested that I am cutting it a bit close! (C'Mon, honey, you can make that save vs. early delivery (FORT check?) Thus, in the event of an early delivery, I must now fly. No big worries. . . .but getting there won't be half the fun on two wings as two wheels.

Just think what (or who) you'll be able to bring with you next year!!

Yeah, we're probably driving this year. In fact, I need to post a message to see if there are a couple of people that want to share the drive with ghettognome and I.

Thanks for reminding me!

I am flying in with my two kids and one of our writers (friend as wel) and can't wait! The kids will hang with Grampa and Gramma most of the time but I think Friday I will have them spend the day with me, my kids are soooooo funny I am hoping to have them bring in crowds, already teaching them the "if you don't buy this daddy won't get me shoes" look. If anyone is flying out from St Pete/Clearwater e-mail me and I will tell you what flight etc...

Unfortunately we're leaving from Dallas on Wednesday evening, so wouldn't be able to meet you in Nashville until about 4 in the morning on Thursday!

road warning for GenCon road trippers

just a word of advice for folks going I65 north to Gencon.
Theres tons of construction for like 6 miles on I65 as soon as you cross into Indiana from Kentucky. If your passing through Louisville be careful - the I65, I71, I64 junction is a dangerous place.

Anyhow during morning and evening rushhour your best bet is to take I64 into Indiana and then go east on I265(in Indiana not kentucky) then back onto I65. You'll bypass the daily 3 to 4 mile backup we get each morning and evening.

And once again remember the I65, I71, I64 junction is a killer(literally), they even broadcast a recorded warning on cb channel 19 every 3 minutes. I been all over the USA and thats the only place I know of where they broadcast a warning over the cb like that.
