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

[Buttercup]

With so many To Do's, you might end up doing the following next year:

"Hey, CL! I've been meaning to talk to you. You have exactly 5.2 seconds before I have to move on to my next thing on the list. Go!"

"Hi, Buttercup. Nice to..."

"Nice to see you too. Gotta go. Talk to you next year!"

Ah, but this is why I arrive on Wednesday afternoon. This year I spent lots of time doing booth related things, but next year that job will belong to someone else, thus freeing me up to visit with old friends and new.

I always have this big to do list and end up canceling so much of stuff just because other things pop up. By the timne i got there wednsday i canceled 40 bucks worth of tickets.

We're back, tired, but alive. Quite a GenCon for us. Lots of ups and downs- but more ups than downs and all in all a great convention for us.

The *ultimate short list* of ups and downs. Perhaps I'll post more if suzi ever comes back from lunch and lets me out of the booth....

Downs: Not having A Magical Society: Beast Builder for Thursday and then when they finally get there more than 50% of them are damaged. *grr*

Ups: Having Charles Ryan (WoTC D&D Brand Manager) ask if we wanted to trade some WotC products for said Beast Builder. *nerd moment*

I'm not nearly as perky as she is.

DMG II and Lords of Madness. There was another gentleman with Charles but I can't for certain remember who it was, but I'm thinking it may have been David Noonen, but I'm not for sure.

Both of them look pretty cool from the small time I've had to look at them.

Ummmm... Charles and David or the books..?

Heh, thanks for the dinner? Thanks for the scotch! I'd rather have some single malt than a chicken parm anyday.

I'd apologize, but I'm not sorry! The testosterone level at GenCon can get overwhelming, so it was nice to just go sit down for some nice girl talk with Suzi, who is a Goddess of Coolness. Besides, you ended up with a giant shopping bag of salad to console you!

heh, yeah, I imagine the con is a massive outbreak of testosterone. And the full-sized Buco di Beppo salad was a wonderful surprise. I like mistakes in my favor.

Bless Your Soul!

Next year, I'm thinking of organizing some night get togethers that are not run by Denise and Hound. They do agreat job, but it is a lot of work and they deserve to have some nights free to do what they want to do.

Brilliant idea!

Or Teflon Billy could host a hot tub party...
