I don't swing that way

LOL -- no way man, it was just after going up three flights of stairs heading to a bar we weren't even sure existed I spot one familiar face and figure other familiar faces must be around. Turned out I was wrong. It was funny though! I got a lot of milage out of it, it was totally worth $4.

Are you saying you actualy found the mythical "Four bars in one place"?
Hound, Clay and I looked all through that mall and came up empty.

Hey francisca, which one were you?
Does it sound weird to anyone else to say "War Golem and May?"
PS
I was the the first "f***ing ninja" who jumped on the back of the dire bear. I was sitting between War Golem and Archade. I have a great picture of you guys on your side of the table. It was taken right after Leopold announced that War Golem's feet were hanging out.
Look for the post tomorrow.

Unfortunately, when your working on weekends mostly, and dont have your own car (not to mention, making very little money), you cant afford to go to conventions.

Good Lord, was I tired today.
This Gencon was in my opinion the best one I have ever attended. Folks, there were some new legends made this week, and many more to be made in upcoming years. Indianapolis wants us, and then some.
The people I met were fantastic, most of them ENWorlders, but everyone I met was friendly, and ready to game at the drop of a hat. Some of the highlights I can recall:
--The Hall. That exhibit hall was huge, no doubts in my mind. I really proved this when walking from the east side to the west side to find the ENWorld booth, and took about two minutes of brisk walking to make it. It was easily over a football field wide.
--Gaming with PCat, Eric, Morrus, Creamsteak, Eridanis, and Jane. Russ, both my friend Mark and I want to thank you and Jane for the hospitality you showed all of us. Incidentally, it was my character, the ex-STASI agent, holding the Mercenary over the cliff face as Jane's character tortured him -- and he was taking notes.
--Meeting Neg Zero, who was IMHO the hardest-working man at the 'con. I will defintely be looking at Improved Initiative soon.
--Hellhound, who scored me a free print copy of Arcane Strife, which is ten times better than the loose-kleaf copy I was working from. Jason, I'm sorry I never got a chance to stop by "Little Canada," or to meet Dextra, but I'm hoping at a future con we'll get to.
--About a half-dozen new games I got to play: Savage Worlds, the D&D Mini's game, the Riddle of Steel, Spycraft, Arcana Unearthed, and a couple of really cool board games whose names I can't remember. If anyone EVER gets to go to Gencon for the first time, play as many games as you can that you've never played. It is to me the most worthwhile feature of the whole convention.
--Ed Greenwood. The man is fun in a can. I try to set in on either his Elminster seminar or his spin a yarn every year I go.
--Actually meeting Hand of Evil at the ENnies, totally by chance. Not only was a great person, It was nice to see someone "local."
--Alsih2o, or "Clay," and the P.S. O'Rourke's gathering. We had to leave when it was just getting geared up, unfortunately, but I got to meet a LOT of ENWorlders. Crothian, DonAdam, and Maldur intorduced me to Kung Fu Samurai on Giant Robot Island, and I loved it - in fact, when I get a chance, I am buying that and some other Z-man Games for our group! I played Clay in a game of pool, actually beat him, and proceeded to get my butt handed to me twice by my gaming buddy, Mark. That gathering was a blast, and I hope they keep on happening.
I had a great time, met some wonderful people, and have to quit gushing now, or I'll keep doing it all night.
