GenCon Indy

[filkertom]

I has it.

Specifically, I'll be "roving entertainment", shlepping hither and yon about the convention center, busking my butt off. I will also have a table in the dealers' room, and there's a new performers' space in the Entertainers area. We'll see how that works out. Anyway, I'm goin' back to GenCon!

Who else is planning to be there?

Arrgh, I was planning on being there, but I'm literally going to be out of the country. Ah well...I'm sure you'll have a blast!

[drzarron.livejournal.com]

Diana, Heather and April Lee will be there.

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Excellent. We should get together locally sometime soon -- if nothing else, are you gonna be at ConStruct-A-Con?

That's the same weekend as Wizard World Chicago. Sorry, Tom, that's closer to me.

Really? Damn, it's going to suck to completely miss Wizard World Chicago. :(

Ok, got my dates crossed, I knew it was one of the weekends of one of Kristi and Alchav's wedding receptions (yeah, they're having two. One Indiana and one in Michigan)

Wizard World Chicago is August 6-8, according to the official site, rather than the 14-16 as I originally thought. Looks like I'll be missing that to go to Kristi and Alchav's party in Indiana.

I will point out that GCI is four days long -- heck, you could bring the reception to the con....

Can't make it due to budget constraints. Wish I were going to see you, and to see my friend Phil get married (again).

"Roving"?

Hey, uh... Y'know I think you're great Tom and have nothing but respect for you, but...

You think you'll be alright?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Hey, a-wand'ring minstrel, I....

Lump, if you're thinking something subtler than me dealing with my bad back & legs, I can't catch what it is. I know what I'm getting myself into on that score: I'll have my push cart, and if necessary I'll rent a mobility cart ('cause it is a pretty frickin' big con).

[unclelumpy.livejournal.com]

Okay, Tom.

I wasn't trying to be condescending, I was just... Concerned, y'know?

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

And I appreciate it, Gabe. You gonna be there?

[unclelumpy.livejournal.com]

I honestly don't know.

[lukeski.livejournal.com]

Just got an email from the GenCon Indy folks reconfirming that I'll be there, as the Masquerade judging-time entertainment, and I'll have a table in the dealer's room as well, hopefully next to yours, Tom. I'll also be releasing my new album there. w00t!

[filkertom.livejournal.com]

Fantastic, ace. We can has GenCon! Whoo-hoo!

Hooray! I missed you last year, looking forward to this year.

[cori-chronicles.livejournal.com]

Yay!

[bald-ruminant.livejournal.com]

See you there!

Tom, when you say you'll be "busking," that suggests you'll be going from location to location. More like the classic (fictional) bard, not a stage performer.

I know that you can't walk around a big hall. I'd hate to see you injure yourself doing that. Are you going to take a powered scooter for your travels? Or rent one there?

(I once had to help a lady with a powered chair get around at GEN CON in Milwaukee. She had to bitch and complain to get access to a freight elevator to get around, and threatened to sue under the ADA. Know your rights and be prepared to quote chapter and verse, just in case the facility people give you any trouble.)

As I mentioned to unclelumpy above, I can get around decently using my push cart. If necessary, I will rent a mobility cart. I've got way better things to do than get hurt again.

[ldyerzsie.livejournal.com]

My boyfriend and I will be there. Mostly because it's here. It is nice to go home to the kitties and sleep in your own bed for a couple of hours.

[catlin.livejournal.com]

I am insanely jealous :D

[zellion.livejournal.com]

Now you've got me planning how to do GenCon with a two month old baby... Damn.

We've always wanted to do a GenCon for just fun. Husband and i have been to several but we've always been working a booth and it gets boring and you don't see much.

[peachtales.livejournal.com]

Due to budgetary constraints, I doubt it. Darn.

[catlin.livejournal.com]

Cory and I are planning to come. Yay for vacations!

[isolde-deely.livejournal.com]

Yip! Yip!


Yay :) I will be there :)

And, as far if you need to get a mobility cart, I'm sure we can rig it up with a bettering ram or something :)
