2012 con plans

Post by bloodymage »

Well, I made a GaryCon. Been to GenCon and Origins. O' course, made a lot of other nifty cons in 2006. So, big one left on the agenda before this old man kicks is TrollCon. And I've decided there'll be no flying to cons anymore, so if I happened to chance upon a con the week before enroute, say the previous weekend, that would be icing. Also it looked like SoonerCon and TrollCon were quite close to one another in date and I have fond memories of that con.

Not sure of my situation that far ahead, but these days, I need months to plan, so any info that you good ol' boys can feed me early on will help.

Maybe Tree and I can work together on this little plan.

When I go to Troll Con usually my whole family goes, so if you go with us we'll need an even bigger car.
Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

Maybe we need to convoy. As you know, my friend, all is up in the air for me right now. Like I've said, I'm on too many o' these damned boards with too many damned games and brain is still pretty much on overload.

Just did a quick survey of cons in the region around those dates. If we started with SoonerCon in OK, we could hit Origins in OH, HyperiCon in IN, InConJunction in IN, KantCon in KS and finally, TrollCon in AR. I've been to all but the last two. Maybe rent an RV?

If you ever go to Soonercon, let me know. That is my hometown con and I can run a game for you.

Yeah, SoonerCon was a blast for me in 2006. Just got word though, that I've won a trip to NTRPGCon for next June. Not sure what that means yet for my overall plans (one of my big failings these days is I can't seem to plan anything effectively anymore).

That is awesome!

I would love to go to that con, and now it is not the same weekend as Soonercon.

Hmmm...

Just saw the dates for GaryCon IV are up. The wife and I are scoping out if we can attend this time around. I won't know for sure for a few months...but in general, how are the roads about that time of year? Thinking of renting a car so we can access affordable food in town.
