In order to make it, I have to take two vacation days from work and drive 600 miles each way, as well as pay for the hotel and meals and try to contribute something towards the parties. I do this because I consider many of the people who will be there good personal friends and if I can get spots in their games because of the hoops I've already jumped through just to be there, I'm going to take them. I only get to see many of these folks once or twice a year, so I'm going to take advantage of every piece of leverage I can get.In addition to the amazing group of people from the greater DC area, New England, Iowa and California, people also came from Erie PA (me) and Dayton, OH (as well as closer-but-still-hours-away Western NC and several from SC too). At the Sunday night dinner there were about forty of us, but only a handful were also planning on being at GenCon; so this really was a once-a-year chance to spend time with many of these folks.Finally, stuff happens. Several of the reserved games ended up with slots opening up at the last minute. That's how I got into Rel's KAMB game Sunday afternoon. I noticed a couple of new people this year who actually made an effort and I hope they enjoyed the weekend and made some new friends.If all of the above makes me arrogant, elitist and exclusionary, I accept the designation. It's a nice little subtitle to title I already hold as the Nicest Pervert You'll Ever Meet. I had an awesome weekend.</blockquote>
