July. Anyone else going? We should have a Groggie bust up.
can't this year - would love to, tho. Maybe next year (my permanent mantra!)
Some of the guys I game with usually go. I might make the trip with them this year.
I bought tickets for it the past two years and have yet to actually go. :idiot2:

So you'll go to Virgina, but not Ohio? WTF?!

Origins is too close to Huzzah! for me to do both easily. If I go to Origins next year, it will take a lot of upfront planning. There was just too much going on this year for me to fit in another trip in the span of a couple months.
It's a big question mark for Historicon. I'm not even sure if any of the other guys are going this year.

I appreciate your predicament. But, how are you supposed to meet any of us if you stay for Huzzah? The place to be is Ohio, not Maine :P

I love you guys, but I also love my local con. And it's a little hard to think that Ohio is 'the place to be'.

I lived there for 4 years and I can tell you it's
not the place to be, except during Origins, and then it's the
only place to be :D

The past couple years at Huzzah there's been a growing trend of attendees bringing their families along. The con is held at a rather nice hotel that is convenienlty located for any number of 'touristy" things. The weather in Mid-May is usually pleasant enough for outdoor activities and getting around in general. It's been interesting to see how folks use the con as the basis for a family getaway.

"We're not the geeks in their mothers' basement"No, by now we've moved out and bought our own basements. ;D

No, no it really doesn't :P
So, I got my final warning email for Historicon. Anyone going?
Yep. Don't know if I can show up before Saturday, but will be there.
Word is that the venue this year is not very good.
Is it being held somewhere different this year?
I think this is the first year the guys I know have been to Fredericksburg and are comparing to past venues.
The con was going to move it to NJ in 2018, but that fell through and I think it will be going back to the Lancaster Host next year.
The location is very spacious with lots of room for gaming.
But it is very noisy. Not crazy about the Host, but a reasonable alternative.
HMGS would like to get both the New Englanders, and the Southerners to come, so Lancaster is now the location.
Wouldn't surprise me if this changes again.
Mr. Nizz's Blog gives a good rundown on Historicon.
It was really good.
