How do I love GenCon? Let me count the ways!

[Old One]

Me too, man. I has just reinforced my determination to make it next year.

I have a long list of ENworlders I still need to meet and hang out with, in addition to all these lucky bastards who are driving a stake into my heart with every post here.

Preach on, brother!

I have had a steady, subliminal stream of expletives rattling about in my throat as I read the GenCon threads. &%#@*&%@#...why didn't I make it this year?

I had early plans to go with Rel and CL, but my travel schedule and family commitments torpedoed those fairly quickly. Next year, Indiannapolis will be mine !

PS - I also need to start saving my $1s to head out with Rel/TB/Dave, et al

He said, "I got stuck in Cleveland all night." To which I replied, "Kevin, that just replaced 'toting the pumpkin' as my new favorite term for doing the naughty." And I must say that when he said it, I thought about Queen D's "Cleveland" story.

Details?

I'm writing the tale of my trip to the convention, and I hit six pages for just the first day. Unfortunately, for the sake of good narrative, many characters need to be cut, even the folks whose names I actually remember. So Stuart, from the moment I met you ("Fusangite?" I asked. "I don't know," he replied with a grinning warble in his voice. "I never had to actually pronounce it before."), I knew I had to make you into a character, but not in this story.

I'm a little surprised no one mentioned the band at the con. The Vic Daniels' Quartet (all five members of it) rocked my socks. And they gave me dice.

It...hurts...so...good...

I think after all these posts that the ENWorld population at GenCon next year will be significantly higher.

I won't lie: This is the one thing I most want to get out of my trip to GenCon.

As a final note, for those who saw me with it in my possession, the boffer dagger I got for my daughter was a HUGE hit. But then I made a grim discovery...she went friggin' Furry on my while I was gone!

I hope you enjoy the pics...

Dude! Where do you get those shirts made up? I see she has a "Samantha the Red" shirt. That's awesome!

BTW, I'm still laughing that I made this list even though I wasn't even there. People really need to get out more if they think we're the same person.... or are we?

Once again, I'm in total agreement with you, Wulf.

If I start saving up now, I may be able to go even after the wedding and honeymoon stuff. NOt sure what my (by then) wife would think about it, but I think she'd like a weekend away from by that point! This GC and all the ENWorlders getting together just makes me want to go next year all the more!

You were among the people I really wanted to meet so I hope we can both make it there next year.

I made several t-shirts to take to GenCon and had enough of the fabric transfer material left over to make her a Samantha the Red shirt (did you note the Star Wars font?). You might be able to see me in some of my homemade shirts in the "Photos of GenCon" but I'm not sure. I need to go check that thread.

I'm seriously considering bringing shirts to sell next year that say "My worst day at GenCon is better than my best day with your momma."

 

[Rel]

Details?

She posted about it in (I think) the "Someone Strips at the Table" thread in OT. Basically the guys she was gaming with dropped their pants in unison as a joke on her. The "trigger word" was "Cleveland". They did it so often that she said she now expects everyone in the area to drop their pants anytime the word Cleveland is heard.

Thus, "Getting stuck in Cleveland all night" sounds a little dirty.

I'm seriously considering bringing shirts to sell next year that say "My worst day at GenCon is better than by best day with your momma."

I'd buy one! (but I'm a sucker for anything that involves your momma... hey-o! ).
