Ohio Gameday (January 18, Ohio State Campus)

[Enkhidu]

Because Crothian has gotten swamped with holiday stuff a bit early, we need to find out who will be able to do leg work in Columbus in order to find space for January 13th.

If anyone has any more ideas on exactly where to hold this (and can get more in depth info on it as well) please jump in and let us know.

Wallshot, please drop me an email at enkhidu527@cs.com when you can to let me know about the hotel possibility. I (or someone more local in Columbus, preferably) should talk with him and find out rates, etc. I imagine if the event is at a hotel, and we were able to fill a number of the rooms at the hotel, we might get a break on price.

Also, if anyone interested in Gameday was a student at OSU, could you look into space at the university?

ashnockey, if you have contacts among the gaming stores in Columbus, now would be the time to rub some elbows. Any info you might be able to get for us would be greatly appreciated. Plus, they might be able to point us in the right direction for space.

If we're going to have this in Columbus in January, I figure we need to have space accounted for by early December at latest. The earlier the better.

If you have any suggestions, or just want to lend a hand with it, by all means do!

Thanks!

If any of the stores out there have space but are in doubt about hosting this event, have them contact me. This weekend we will be hosting our 3rd for ENWorld.

Hi all!

Just a friendly reminder that if this thing is going to happen, we've got to find a site, and quick.

I've been looking in the Dayton area, but have so far come up dry. If we want to hold it in Columbus, then Crothian (and myself, I guess, as Crothian is busy as a bee right now) will need someone to do the leg work in Columbus, especially if you have contacts with game shops, etc, already. I would do it myself, but as I'm not based in Columbus, it's kind of difficult...

Any feedback or help is appreciated, and at this point, necessary!

Is the 13th the day, then? That's an odd day -- a Monday.

Is it? Someone else mentioned the date and I took their word for it that it was a Saturday. Sorry.

I've been pitching it as either the 11th (a Saturday), or the following weekend, the 18th, when I've been looking for sites in Dayton.

I'd suggest we do the same in Columbus as well.

I just don't know where in Columbus to hold it. The gaming stores are all either too small or booked solid.

 

[Enkhidu]

Question: are the gaming stores that are booked solid also booked solid in February?

Maybe it might be a good idea to push it slightly farther back in order to make the space work...

It's one place that pretty much has war games every weekend. When I asked about it I was shown that they had every weekened booked through the end of January. I also got the distinct impression that I was violating some unspoken rule for asking them.

I had a glimmer of hope when i was looking at the 13th for the Ohio Union, plenty of rooms availible, then i realized it was a monday! The Union seems to be quite packed with scheduled activities for the 11 and 12. I am going to look into getting use of some rooms in the Physics building, though it would probably be unofficial, as the rooms I am looking into using are availible through the office of scheduuling, they are department use only, but if there are no scheduled events then they should be free and perhaps with the aid of SPS (Society of Physics Students) I can claim them for a day.
