Uh oh! Gen Con 2004....

I wish reporters could come up with something more interesting to write about than people in Darth Vader costumes.

They're making us look like geeks!

Unfortunately, many reporters focus on a visual image or something unusual to try to convey a story. Most of the people at Gen Con do not wear costumes.

Photographers sometimes do much of the same. If a candidate holds a campaign rally, and hecklers show up in clown costumes, the clownish hecklers may get their pictures in the paper.

Still, I do not think the stories were too bad ... considering some of the stuff from the 1980s.

I'm glad he's thinking of moving it, during the week the Indy 500 or the Brickyard 400 is here in the city, the place is a mad-house traffic-wise. Specially the west side of the city (the side people have to take to get to the airport). The traffic gets horrendous.

They've scheduled next year's GenCon opposite this? If you're planning on going next year, I'd advise that you seriously consider booking as soon as a hotel will let you, regardless of what the convention organizers might say. Better safe than sorry.

They originally had this year's GenCon scheduled opposite the race, and moved the date.

It's a new GenCon tradition.

Why is it always the gaming convention that has to move? We should make gaming more popular than Nascar and Formula One racing combined!

Dude...

This made me laugh almost as much as American Wedding.

I am still laughing
