*lol* Okay, things have changed. In the last thread, the two options were Neutral Ground and the Knights' Games convention.
Neutral Ground was pretty practical for me: only 15 minutes from where I live (by subway, or 30 minutes running). I'll have to check how far Kings Games is from Manhattan.
Yes, I know, it cannot be thaaat far, but it can make a difference if I decide to come for a half-day: I went through one all-nighter already this week because I've got more to do than I can handle; I'd rather spare myself another sleepless night (or rather, the day that follows).
I also had to refuse a paid (hotel + con) invitation to Gen Con, this year, for the same reason: lack of time. Just to say that my whimpering attitude has more do with my situation than with your convention.
My roommate has Soul Calibur II and I don't have enough time to play with him, in spite of my longing when I was a teenager for those pretty fighting games I could not hope to buy. And I doubt it'll be free at Kings Games.
The Deli, though, is a good thing! (If not overpriced, obviously.)
