littlejohn (whose art you may have seen gracing Piratecat's Story Hour, amongst other places) mentioned in another thread that

Yeah, I'm planning on going and getting a table in the Art Show. Please stop by and say "hi." It'll be my first GenCon.

I've asked him to post his table # here if/when he gets it, so we can support our fellow ENworlders.

Before they become world-famous!

www.gencon.com has done several updates in the last week with details on costume contests, costume ball, celeb. signing schedules etc.

From my understanding from people on other boards the hotels through gencon are now full. im not 100% sure of this but that is what was relayed to me. If u havent gotten anything yet ... u might have a bus ride in

jjenson, your .sig link is wrong. There appears to be an extra "enworld.cyberstreet.com" stuffed in before the "tomwaitsfan.com" part starts.

Hopefully, this one will work: Unofficial Official GenCon Boards

I was able to score a room through the GenCon "passkey" thingy at a place called the Indianapolis Athletic Club, on the 300 block of N. Meridian. That makes it 4-5 blocks from the convention center. Rooms were running around $110 per night. There was another hotel available, too, but rooms were $300+ per night. Edit: I was able to register for this hotel room last night (May 27).

Thats not to bad of a walk really. As long as the weather holds out .
The sidewalk traffic under normal circumstances is not to bad... although as you get closer to the con im sure that will change *G*.
There are also several parks on the way from there, and a few fountains. Makes for a nice walk actually.
