Luke posted this at the TLG site. Perhaps we could arrange to meet there for an extended weekend?
"Greetings Seekers (sorry I couldn't resist!),
As you know already the Trolls and my siblings put together a mini-con as a memorial to my father on March 7th at the American Legion Hall in Lake Geneva. So far I know that Frank Mentzer, Jim Ward, Tom Wham, Ernie Gygax and Steve Chenault will be there playing (and GMing) some of my Dad's favorite games. I am looking forward to a great day of gaming and fellowship amongst old friends and new ones too. Hope to see you there!
Cheers,
Luke
PS- The Con is free to get in- we are not looking to make any money. The tentative hours are 10am to 10pm on Saturday- and I am looking into arranging aome gaming at the hall Sunday too- but I need to double check with Steve."

I'm afraid I'm aiming for Gen Con, despite that I actually enjoy Lake Geneva more. It's a business thing, unfortunately.

I hope to get to GenCon one day, but more importantly I hope to meet you, Scotty and Patterson and the rest of our fellow board members one of these days/CONS. And, of course, I hope to see Gene and GT again and have a chance to game with them!! ;D [Edit . . oh, and that Fal fellow too. What's his name? Falconer! And yeah and grodog too.] Well anyway, I hope to meet EVERYONE!!!

I would like to put in an appearance on March 7, but I always have a church thing on Saturday nights. If only it were 3 days instead of 1 it would make it a lot more viable.
Anyway, LGGC is almost certainly a go. GenCon... Hm. Probably not. I've never been, but honestly, would I have any reason for wanting to? I really have no interests in common with most of the people there, nothing I want to buy from them, and if I wanted to game I would just get some people together who I know aren't annoying.

I almost-certainly will not make GaryCon, but I'm hopeful that I can make LGGC.

I'll be at GaryCon more than likely, possibly at LGGC, and unlikely to put in an appearance at GenCon, even though it's only 40 miles away. Twenty-five years or so of "big" cons have done it for me... ^__^

[glow=red,2,300] Yes![/glow] I will be attending GaryCon I! My first convention! This is where I was thinking of staying- www.budgethost-lakegeneva.com/, ever heard of it? I have talked one of my players into going along as well and will be asking the others. ;D I hope you can make it as well Scott. I will be bringing my DJMGRPG stuff and would love to run a game for you guys! Or play in one of your games! Or just shoot the shit till the wee hours of the morning. Is there a web site where details on the convention are located? So far I have only seen discussions on web boards about it.

I'd like to go, but I'll have to check my calendar. I think I'll be in Florida on business earlier that week, and I'm not sure what day I'm coming back.

I see it's south of The Plaza (where I'm staying), but that's OK since we'll all have to drive to the Legion Hall. And your price is probably very good. You guys may have seen this, but if not ~ Luke and KR are asking peeps to register for this CON (although it's free). I think they are just trying to get a rough head count. I'm getting pumped up for this and hope to see you all. Here's the register site: garycon.eventbrite.com/ ;D

A bit of an update:Turns out that I will in fact be staying at the Plaza Motel (The Plaza Motel’s price was better in the long run!) somewhere on the 2ed floor. I also have talked 3 of my players (Brian, Chase, and Griz.) into going with me. I don’t know where everyone else will be staying but that will be at least 5 Gamers in one motel! We could have some big games! We are all registered and have rented a car and bought our motels and I am busy working on a DJ/Mythus/MGRPS Adventure to be played at the convention or in the motel or both!!! I and my Players are planning on arriving on March 6th (Friday) around 10:00P.M., at The Plaza Motel and staying there until March 9th (Monday) at checkout time. (11:00A.M.) That way there will be plenty of playing/bullshitting/drinking/etc., time even if the convention only happens on Saturday. ;D It should be a blast!!!!
