[GenCon] "(more) Road Construction News!" (Scouting and Info Within)

[CaptainCalico]

Are ALL of the hotel rooms listed on the Keeper's site already booked?!? I held off registering so that I could get a solid feel for who among those in my gaming group was definitely going to attend. It will truly stink if I now end up having problems finding a room nearby given the road construction!!

Only way to know is to try. I think it might depend on how long you want to stay. It seemed like there were fewer Wed - Monday slots than Thurs - Sunday slots, especially in the Keepers "1st Ring". But remember the "2nd Ring" is all of 2-3 blocks walk, not too bad at all.

That's a relief!! I don't think my schedule will allow this be become a five day event anyhow. As for which "Ring" my hotel is in, I couldn't care less...downtown Indy is cool, and walking an extra few blocks (even in poor weather) won't bother me one bit.

When you register for Gencon they give you a link and a reference number. Go to the link and you can book rooms pretty easily ... or at least, I had no trouble at all when I tried it a few minutes ago

If you just try surfing the 'net for a place, you will find it hard to get anything near the con ... I did that a few days ago to get an idea of prices and there was almost nothing available.

Badges? We don' need no stinking...

Oh. Wait. Yes we do!

In case anyone was wondering why the registration page does not give any information on how you actually get your badge in your hands, I fired off an email to the GCLLC folks and got a prompt response:

[COLOR=royal blue]Right now we are working on getting the badges printed. This is a little complicated so it isn't online quite yet.

The plan is to do an email blast to all of those who have already purchased a badge and ask them to update their account with the information if they would like to have their badge sent or picked up onsite (these options will be added once we get the printing online).

Then whatever you choose we will do for you! I hope this works for you and look for that email coming to you within the next couple of weeks![/COLOR]

Just FYI.

Are there any target dates we should be watching?

So far I am happy with the registration process (I'm in and have hotel) but I think some of it should have been tested! Option to pick up or send badges, why do I see badge issues in the near future!

Because there's always issues with badges. It's tradition.

Anyway, I just wanted to say...ya'll better not have the meet opposite the KoDT Live Reading again this year, or there will be consequences.

Speaking of...

Are the Ennies an event (free) this year? Will there be a nice large room for them? Will the publishers have chairs near the stage?

I am looking forward to GENCON this year!
