[QUOTE="Barendd Nobeard, post: 285934, member: 960"] Latest rumor is that the smell is no longer a problem. I still have not made it down there to check it out personally, but my brother-in-law took my children down there for FanFest (during the MLB All-Star week) and reported no problems. As for GenCon leaving, [list] [*]Yes, it's sad [*]Yes, it's bad for me (financially), which really should have been their first concern. :D [*]Yes, GenCon has outgrown Milwaukee [*]Yes, the local Chamber of Commerce is run by :):):):):):):)s who didn't want GenCon here [*]Yes, the local Chamber of Commerce is run by idiots, who apparently don't like visitors who spend money [*]Yes, the Chamber of Commerce is run by morons who think VFW members will spend more money than GenCon attendees [/list] Just a quick note: The Chamber of Commerce in Milwaukee is actually called something else. By using this moniker, I avoid slander, libel, and the annoyance of giving their true name any publicity whatsoever. I think Black Omega hit the nail on the head. As the economy continues to tank (some economists are talking "double dip recession" recently), we'll see if the idiots in Milwaukee enjoy having an empty convention hall as opposed to GenCon. I suppose there is a one-in-a-million chance that WotC asked for certain things re: GenCon and could not get them from Milwaukee/MEC/Chamber of Greed/etc., but I doubt it. [/QUOTE]
