[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 1665908, member: 2013"] Spoken like someone who doesn't realize that the West Coast is four times as far away from Indy as he is... do you think we West Coasters have the money to pay for 30+ hours worth of gas (not to mention the time it takes to make a trip of three to four days *each way* really eats into vacation time in a hurry) or that the rooms are any cheaper for us? Oh, and by the way, have you considered that if they DID have an East Coast GenCon venue, you'd be making that trek in the snow (due to it being late November)? Is a six-hour drive in the snow that much more attractive than an 8 to 11 hour drive in the summer? ;) Imagine, if you would, that there was ONLY GenCon SoCal and no GenCon Indy, and suddenly there was an announcement made that there was a GenCon Indy. You'd be overjoyed, wouldn't you? Now you know how we felt with the advent of GenCon SoCal. Don't feel "left out" or that we're getting "special treatment" - we're the blokes that were "left out" of the original. :( I hate to be rude, but a lot of the grumbling I'm hearing from the East Coast makes me sick... "well, it's somewhat inconvenient for me, it should be changed... who cares if it's almost impossibly difficult for West Coast folks?" And then they wonder why West Coasters tend to think of East Coasters as self-centered and unable to see things from our point of view... ;) --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
