Re: Re: Help a Brit today....

Cheers to you, too.

PS. I am not a "younger member"...

Hehehe I get ya point theres a beer on me waiting in Indy if I get there fella...

http://www.indy.org is the website for the ICC and downtown Indianapolis. Lots of links to the various hotels (cross-reference with the Keeper's site so you know which ones are close). Prices seem comparable to Milwaukee and the quality looks better. The site even has a section for International travelers.

For the over-dedicated (among which I proudly count myself) click here for floor plans - shows you which hotels are connected and where the connections exit to in the ICC.

Perhaps I will be able to return the courtesy by picking your brain and buying you a beer if I make it over to the UK.

Captain Calico to the rescue again! I have just sent an Email to Barendd Nobeard to see if he had saved a copy of the floor plans to his hard drive. I'll add this link to the top with your other contributions!

I'll likely be taking a train down from Chicago, myself. I grabbed one up to Milwaukee last year and I really enjoyed the time I had to spend prepping the adventure I was running.

You might need to get train tickets soon. I was looking into it, and one of the morning trains on Sunday already has "Coach" listed as "sold out"--there is still space in "Reserved Coach" but that's probably more expensive. And every other "train" out of Indy to Chicago that morning (July 28) appears in actuality to be a bus....one of which goes to Chicago via Champaign-Urbana.

If you don't mind a bus, it's not so bad. But a bus ride at train prices is not a good deal.

And I just emailed you back to report....failure on my mission. Sorry, chief, but no Indy 2003 floor plans on my hard drive. Just the Milwauke 2000 floor plans, but we don't really need those anymore, now do we?

I plan to go down a day early and stay over a day later, so I may have a little breathing room but I will take a closer look tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

I think we'll be OK with the floor plans that appear online at the above link. If the others reappear on the GenCon site, I'll be sure to add that link as well. There is no failure, since the mission was to try, not to produce. You succeeded in trying and with the speed of a champion. Mission accomplished!

Woohoooo more beer....

Woohoooo more beer....

Can't be a bad thing, can it...?

I think we need MoRuss to stop by and let us know if they've settled on when the ENnies presentation will be so that we can make sure when we will have the EN Board gathering (which I assume we should have right have the ENnies again.)

By the way Mark, that dociverse site you posted is great! It has a list of 100% smoke free places to eat - which I may have to print out and take with me. (We Madison dwellers are so spoilt when it comes to smoke free eateries.)

That truly is quite a site, isn't it? I think when this thread is further along, I will have to condense the material and add a page on my site with the links, at the least, and some of my own gathered information after this year's trip.

RE: Non-Smoking places - I'm sure a lot of folks will like to have that option. Perhaps most prevalently would be anyone coming in from CA.
