Games fill up VERY quickly, so if you really want in on something, make sure you get your regestration in fast. I have stayed at the Best Western City Center the past two years. It's 2 blocks from the convention center on the opposite side from all the other hotels, but it's a bit cheaper and the parking is FREE. Did you hear that? FREE parking. that will save you about $60-80 right off the bat if you stay 4 nights. Plus, they have suites which make for nice downtime when you need to get away from all the gamers and just crash for a few hours. It's quiet too, unlike many of the other hotels I walked through. In fact, I'm staying there again. I just booked my room online, before everything disappears. Easier to book it direct than dealing with the convention registration system, and there are no cancellation fees either if something changes (it's $50 to change or cancel the reservation through GenCon)I hung out with ENWorlders the entire convention. Games with Buttercup and Truth Seeker this past year, played Pirates of the Spanish Main with Teflon Billy and Stone Angel, and went through True Dungeon with Stone Angel. Played some board games with other ENWorlders as well. There were lots of other informal EN World rpgs that happened as well. Also, went to dinner with a whole crew of people before the ENNies, and went out to the Red Garter after with the a crew of ner' do wells like Teflon Billy, Jester47, Hellhound, etc. There is plenty of time to see, talk, game, eat, goof off, etc. with ENWorlders.  Get a hotel room that has a fridge and microwave, it'll save you some money. Make sure you go back to the room for an hour or two each day to take a nap or just rest and read for a while. Try games you never thought you'd play, just because they are there-You never know what you might find and have a new favorite game. Don't carry too much stuff, it gets heavey by the end of the day. Visit the Keepers website as linked by Henry, it's a lifesaver.</blockquote>
