[QUOTE="Dextra, post: 3445158, member: 5705"] The first year I attended was the last year in Milwaukee. We'd been nominated for an ENnie Award for Portable Hole Full of Beer, and decided to make the pilgrimmange. We were making sufficient money off d20 sales that we could afford the trip, and thought it was the best time for our inaugural GenCon pilgrimmage. Also, the youngest was old enough to travel well and appreciate gaming, so it was a fun family excursion. Not it's at Indy, it's that much closer for us (we drive from Eastern Ontario), and we appreciate the larger hotel block (in Milwaukee we arrived and our reservation was denied). Oh yeah, and since I've started running the ENnies, my costs are considerably more manageable. I go to Origins and Gen Con now every year if I can- Origins so I can play games and hang out with industry peeps (without the kids) and locals, Gen Con for the ENnies and ENWorld stuff, the costume contest, and bringing the kids to an awesome event.
