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

[MEG Hal]

I am bringing my kids (staying with my parents) but they will be around on Friday, I am looking forward to seeing their faces and checking out the con with them.

My kids are awesome (no prejudice here, simply stating facts)

Here is something new; somone set up an all-GenCon message board at http://www.tomwaitsfan.com/genconforums/ not much activity yet, but if the folks at GCLLC are smart they would post a link.

There is a 10% chance that my wife will make the trip for a day or two, and if that happens then Griffin (who will be almost 18 months old in late July) will be there too. Our older son will likely stay with my paremts because of summer events like camp, and the swim team.

Do ya think with a name like Griffin the dealers will be more likely to heap cool swag on us ?

Newbie Question about seminars

Hailing all Gencon Veterans! I am a Gencon first timer and have a few questions about seminars. Do people usually pre-register for seminars? Do they usually fill up? My game plan was to register for the games that I wanted to play (which I am thankful that I did because they are all now full) and then pick which seminars I wanted to go to while at the convention. Is this a wise strategy or do they usually fill up? Any advice would be appreciated. Can't wait until the convention!

That's a smart move. Even with Milwaukee being overfilled the last few years, its always been possible, in my experience to get into just about any seminar at the last minute.

All the seminars I went to last year had more than enough space. That being said, I registered for all the seminars I wanted to go to so I'd already have a schedule built.

Thanks for the advice!

You can always get into seminars without registering, in my experience. However I have started registering on principle, to show the organizers my support for the concept of free seminars at GenCon, especially those run by fans who are not affiliated with a particular game company. The number of such seminars has dropped noticably over the years and I would hate to see them go the way of the dodo.
