We thought there would be a Kenzer and Co. booth, but to no avail.  There was even a moderate shwag factor that I didn't expect.I agree that Dec. is a bad month for a con.  Not only is it "family time" it's also "finals time" for people who are still in school.I live in Orange County, so the fact that it was at the Anaheim Convention Center was a bonus for myself and my friends.  I heard from a little birdie that they have a 4 year contract with Anaheim so...Here's something I don't get.  Perhaps more regular Gen Con goers can help me either understand it, or tell me what I'm doing wrong...At the Gamex cons, as I recall, I pay my registration fee, and then I can sign up for games.  But for Gen Con So Cal, I paid my registration fee, and then, if I wanted to sign up for games, I'd have to pay extra for them... For True Dungeon,  it makes a certain sense, but for more traditional table top games?  At first I thought this was because I only got a shopping pass for one day, which made perfect sense, but a co-worker got a full four day pass and said that he also had to pay extra for games.  I don't get it.  Either there's something weird going on here, or I miss-heard him.  Can anybody tell me about how it works?</blockquote>
