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

Also, are any other dealers bringing their children? We are bringing our 1 and 2 year olds (and a sitter of course). It might be cool to have a kid play time for dealers and maybe event goers, too. Paladinwife

Little kids abound at GenCon, though I don't know how many dealers in particular bring the little ones. I know someone who coordinated hotel rooms with a friend so they could share a babysitter. Might be worth trying to organize something.

Good show, Calico. (Always on top of this thread, and I thank you for it!)

I've heard that Hellhound and Dextra's two kids will be there, and I think some others have also said that they would have kids with them. I'll change the title of the thread for a few days and see if we can scare up a few of those folks. Something like...

"Kids At GenCon? Parents respond, please!"

 

[Paladin]

Great! We can't wait to meet everyone we can at the Con this year, as we've never been, but doing nighttime mingling sans kids will be near impossible as we do not want to abuse our sitter who will be stuck in the hotel room or in the mall all day with them. Good thing we got a suite at the Embassy. It gives them more room than a single hotel room would have. Well worth the extra $20 a night if you can still get them!...Paladinwife

My wife and I are bringing two of our four daughters, the oldest and the youngest. The oldest is coming because she's interested in the Harry Potter, Pokemon, and Guillotine events, and she's hoping there'll be Yu-Gi-Oh stuff as well...the youngest is coming because she'll only be a year old.

 

[Paladin]

There is going to be a Harry Potter event?

 

[Southern Oracle]

There's a Harry Potter CCG tournament on Friday:

Could someone in the Indianapolis area call the convention center and find out if they have wireless internet access?

You might also try dropping a line to customerservice@gencon.com

Hope that helps!

We will indeed be bringing Genevieve and Chrystine along to GenCon. They wouldn't let us go without them after winning the ENnie award last year!

Heck, we have to parade our two youngest double award-winning* d20 authors and illustrators SOMEWHERE, why not GenCon?

The ICC has the capability for wireless internet access ( see http://www.iccrd.com/conv/services_mis.asp ), but Mark is right, you should contact the GCLLC folks and see if they have activated that option. If they have not we could start to lobby for it......
