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

[HellHound]

We have cancelled the reservations we made before the Con reservation system opened...

Because we got a suite at the Embassy Suites for $141 / night for four adults (two beds plus a fold-out sofa). Even better, the Embassy Suites is attached to the Con by skywalk (not directly, we have to navigate through another hotel first, but we don't ever have to see the outside world).

Our biggest worry was parking (we have a car-top carrier on our van, so we don't fit in parking garages), but from the sound of it we should have little to no problem finding a surface lot for the weekend.

You got to love those suites! So much room and not any more than a normal room.

Hey, HellHound, sounds like we're in the same hotel, same kinds of rooms!

Anyone know if the RPGA is covering housing costs for GM's who sign up for a lot of slots? That might be the only way I manage to get to go this year. Plane tickets are expensive.

The rules for people who GM at GC are spelled out here : http://www.gencon.com/files/host_policies_indy.pdf under "Hotel and Badge Reimbursement". I don't know if the RPGA has a different rules.

Excellent, Moridin.

Then we must consume beer together, safe in the knowledge that neither of us will be in good enough shape to get the other home!

Heck, we can have a mini-con all of our very own: I'm staying in the same place!

Didn't realise it was connected to the centre, though. That's a useful thing to know.

Hell yeah! BeerCon 2003!

Actually, I think I'm the only hard drinker in my party, so I'll have to find someone to drink with, might as well be you guys.

Well, actually, I don't drink, as the taste of alcohol makes me feel ill. But I'll be hopped up on caffeine, sugar and sleep deprivation, the combination of which should amount to a similar effect

Moridin - were you the guy who gave us all the finger when you guys won the ENnie at the awards show last year?
