Gary, you want to split a room and gas money?

Sounds good. But if I can tie it in to a business trip with a flight, I will. I have some clients in southwest Michigan and northern Indiana, so maybe I can pull it off. But we can split the room, as I'm definitely going to this Con, whether by wing or tire or shoe leather.

Since there isn't an initial land rush for my proposed game I'm announcing that I'll be hosting it entirely in the smoking lounge that appears here from last Summer:

I just got off the phone with Bill while we searched for con photos on the web from last Summer.

This one is the best that some guy on DRAGONSFOOT took from behind me and Bill on the bus with just our shoulders, the back of Bill's head and my glasses at the very edges of the left and right:



BILL >>>>UNKNOWN>>>>>>>>>GARY>>>>UNKNOWN>>>>GRODOG>>>UNKNOWN>>>GENE

We're on GARY THE RIDE here and Captain Gary (center) is describing old TSR lore as we drove around Lake Geneva.


Thats Grodog on the right.

[Rhuvein]

I think the 2 guys in front of you Gene, were some Star Wars gamers.

The guy behind Allan might be The Dungeon Delver (Bill Silvey).

I'll assume that's Mr. Reaper taking the shot behind you. I was in the back of the bus and couldn't hear Gary talking, so I moved next to Mr. Reaper.

Here we are bouncing along in the school bus:



I think later the driver plugged in the microphone and then we could hear Gary.

;D

I just found out the my LGGC pics are online again at (Heather ported them over when our old host went belly up): share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=0QYuXLZs4aMXSQ Enjoy!

I didn't take any shots on the bus tour, but perhaps next year (although with the 40 Years of GenCon book out now, there's less need to capture the sites vs. the people).

That's right.

I prompted Gary to use the mic about 5 minutes in, when I realized no one would hear anything he was saying without it: even sitting right across from him, it was sometimes hard to hear due to the noises of the bus, etc.

This a priceless pic:



Paul Stormberg, Tony (GT's buddy), GT (kneeling), Rob (looking haler than ever), myself, Bill (my cousin), and Martin (Paul's friend who passed away not long ago).

I've got to forward the link to Bill

[geneweigel]

And note there is also TLG's Peter "Gideon Thorne" Bradley (inbetween me and Bill) talking to 70's The Dragon Magazine editor Tim Kask (to the right of Bill's head).

[geneweigel]

This is a great one too, Allan:



Theres Rhuvein on the far left and theres TSR alumni Eric "Othlinden/GH ZOOM Hex" Shook on the right with GT.

I wasn't aware of some of the names of these other players besides the folks mentioned in the previous pic.

[geneweigel]

Theres the sign for Falconer's bookstore as well against the wall in the background.

[geneweigel]

And that must be the empty chair where Eric scared away the teenaged girls...

[ghul]

Nice pics, guys, thanks for sharing.

[geneweigel]

I just posted a dump on my forum for any LGGC 2008 con activities that come to mind for the trip so I can just liberally spew out shit.

You know manhunts for Dave trampier, interviewing Gary's ex-girlfriends to find out which one's name is an anagram for Eclavdra, finding the tavern with the beer rings on the bar that are the basis for all the GH dungeon maps, etc.....

Just kidding!

Seriously, any new info as to a schedule for my game I'll try to freeform assemble there before I announce the final game set up.

[grodog]

Sounds good, Gene, and keep us posted

I thought I had the names of all of the ERK players in my notes from the ERK adventure @ www.greyhawkonline.com/grodog/temp/El_Raja_Key_maps-grodog_at_LGGC3_2007-06-15.pdf but it looks like if I have them, it must have been on my PC sheet and notes. I'll see if that's so, and get scanning.

@ GT: I still have your PC sheet, too, FYI

I like this picture best which I think should be captioned: "Heeeerrrrrreee's GT!"

That Stormberg sure looks serious.

That Weigel fellow looks a little shifty, in a "why is a Brooklyn dude wearing a cowboy hat" kind of way.

[geneweigel]

In summers I always head up to the country. In younger days, it was all summer. 1985 I didn't even know LIVE AID happened til the Fall.

Haven't you heard Walter Brennan singing on my MYSPACE page?

It doesn't get anymore country than that!

Note he is holding one of his own printings of Chaimail in his hand.

Thats pretty serious.

[GT]

It was indeed a motley crew... I'm kneeling to conceal my half=ogre heritage. ^__^

[geneweigel]

I just remembered that I had my sunglasses on into the night because I didn't have the time to go back to the hotel room and get my regular glasses. I'm blind as a bat.

[Rhuvein]

Hey GT, are you still going to THEE CON??

I hope so and would love to see all the rest of youse go as well.

Anywho, if you're going, I'm hoping you'll join us playing Metamorphosis Alpha with Jim or AD&D with Paul Stormberg.

Those games are scheduled and there's still room for more.

Or maybe in Frank's game.

Lemeno.

Peace brother.

;D
