Best GenCon evar!
I first got to meet Scott Greene (aka Keeper of the Dark Realms) on Friday, and got him to sign my copy of the Tome of Horrors.
I wandered around the dealer hall for a bit, but didn’t run into anyone I knew. The ENnies were pretty interesting to watch, even though I hadn’t even heard of most of the books up for nomination (hey, you learn something new every day!) After the awards, there was a gathering of ENWorld members, and I met a number of ENWorld members, including Barendd Nobeard, kkoie, Henry, Ashy, Eridanis, Dinkeldog (Yes, Yes fellas... I will do my level best to make the next Chicago gameday!), Psion/Sangrolu, jgbrowning and his wife, Piratecat, Buttercup, Morrus, and even Eric Noah himself (please forgive me if I forgot to mention you!). A lot of us went out to a local bar for drinks, and I saw Scott there again with most of the Necromancer Games crew. Erica (DnDChick) was wedged into the back of their booth, so all I could do was wave to her. 
Saturday was fun again, as I tried out Silver Age Sentinels, and a board game called Zombies. Wandering the dealer floor again, I found Hellhound by the ENWorld booth, and met Leopold and Limper just outside of it, and RangerWickett while signing up for the events I played in. After all of that, I met up with some fellas from Nutkinland to play Call of Cthulhu (yet another game I was trying for the first time!), GMed by Keeper of Secrets, and fellow players including Leopold, Limper, Coik, sotmh, and Carrot.
Sunday, unfortunately, was uneventful. The CoC game ran until about 4AM, so I didn’t wake up until after noon. We left the house I was staying at very late, went looking for Clay’s (aka alsih2o or Muddauber) party, and couldn’t find the bar so we just went on home to Chicago.
And I dragged my poor fiancée with me through all of that. But bless her heart, she had a good time!
Next year we really need to coordinate some more gatherings of people, as well as some game sessions, because that was really fun!

I think I may have caught this thing too. Were the symptoms achy body and very sore throat? (Nobody ever accused me of talking too much, so I knew something was up.)
Wish I would have remembered when I talked to you at the show, NegativeZero. I had a ton of business cards in my pouch. But I was so not into begging for swag that day that it skipped my mind.

And don't forget that you had the biggest order of onion rings in the entire world! Each ring was about the size of a rib-eye steak. There were, what? 8 people at our table in the Ram, and we still couldn't eat them all.
It was great fun. I'm just sorry I had to leave early, but I'm already looking forward to next year.
i also bought that coloring book for my future stepdaughter.

Yep, who can forget War Golem's, ummm, "innovative" technique for fighting Dire Bears?
I have pictures from thursday night and will post them soon, how did it go saturday night? And it was great to meet all of you: War Golem and May, Negative Zero, EOL, Ashy, Leopold, Simmo, Teflon Billy, Hand of Evil, and others I am sure I am forgetting. And again, as I told Morrus and Eric Noah personally, thanks for all of the hard work you guys put into this place.

I just showed JGBrowning's picture around the office and my co-workers agree that we look eerily alike.Piratecat said:
Off to get my pics, hopefully they came out! Next year a digital camera.
Gencon was a fantastic time and very pleased with Indy. Will do some form of write up later but wanted to say how much I enjoyed seeing all of you.
