Just tossing this up here for thoughts/planning.
Looks like Stu is going to try to make it out this year.

I really wonder if it wouldn't be better to get a group together and do an AirBnB somewhere in the city and just Uber or Lyft into the Con.

Whenever I have looked into things like AirBnB, the costs have been pretty high, compared to the housing block. I've been in connected hotels, hotels that were within 5 or 6 blocks, and one that was out by the airport (necessitating a drive into the city)... There is nothing like getting worn out early and knowing that you can just pop off to your room and crash. But, that's me... ^.^

Normally, I'd vastly prefer staying at the same hotel as the con.

Just a reminder that today is the last day to register before the housing lottery starts. Emails should go out tonight around midnight giving you your registration window.

Sixty-five days to go. Some random stuff. Exibitor Hall MapEvent Registration has been live for a bit now, have people gotten into some cool events? Were you able to get what you wanted? My initial wish list was a bust, but I get another chance at the L5R event tomorrow.... Otherwise, I've found a few cool events to join. I got a Changeling the Lost event, a Through the Breach demo from Wyrd Games, a Shadowrun Missions event, and a Monsters and Other Childish Things game.

I can't go to GenCon this year. Its just not possible. Between my stint in the hospital(which even with insurance is costing me upwards of $3000), and my weight... just not going to happen. However, I am only a 2 hour drive away. Since Stu Venable is coming, I would very much like to make it out for a bit. Uncle Stu mentioned on the latest podcast that he wants to meet as many fans as possible and run games as well. Now he can't run games at the con proper, no chance he can get into an empty room. You could grab a table somewhere in the common areas and camp on it and fight off the oncoming hordes, or set up at a hotel. Like in the bar or something. This I can do. My wife and I can drive out, she can drop me off at whichever building people are getting together and I could hang out for a bit. Anyone have ideas for this?

We got a room at the Omni Severin, which is just a block or two away from the convention center. We'll be there Wednesday through Sunday.

Stu Venable SirGuido Monkeyfun DaveTalking with SG, iirc you said that Saturday was the best day for you to make it out to the con? Is that correct? If so, how does blocking out Saturday evening for the meet up sound to people? If there are others that are going to be attending, please chime in, the above mentioned were just the ones that I knew of. As I mentioned above, I have a hotel within a block or so of the convention center. It looks like there is a nice restaurant there, so that might be an option. It's also close to some of the popular eateries so we could meet at one of them, and then migrate over for other activities.

As long as it's EARLY Saturday evening, because THIS two-thumbed moron booked a 5am Sunday morning flight to LA.

All I have to do is drive out, 2 hours later I'm there. You tell me where you want to meet and I'll be there with bells on, likely early because I'm weird that way. If you want to do lunch/dinner I'm down with that as well. I just need some lead time so I can figure out if I can fit my fat ass into whatever place we're going to, if its comfortable, and whether or not I can walk that far. Don't ever get fat folks, its torture.
