I'm all for this idea, if anyone deserves a big gift from his fans for all he's done, it's Morrus.
I think the plane ticket to GenCon thing is a good idea. Getting hotel reservations might be hard since they always tie it in so you have to be registered before you can reserve a hotel.
That said, I'd be willing to kick a nice chunk of change in. Im just a college student, but since Im overseas Ive got a scholarships throwing more money at me than I know what to do with, so I have enough to spare. My only stipulation is that I can't use paypal. When we get this together, someone gimme an address and I'll air-mail an international money order over.
