I did not attend last year, but two years ago I had to pay something - can't remember if it was $10 or $20 - to get a bidding number.
I recall Jim Kitchen taking over as auctioneer. Not sure Jim has a garycon email address. Ask Caroline question. Will pm the email.
yeah, there is a cost for the last 2 if not 3 years. and limited seating. Swinehurst holds about 70 or so.
If you ever wonder why I sometimes wax nostalgic for the early days, here is yet another symptom.... I haven't been since we moved to the new place...
Last year, seating wasn't too bad. The year before that was brutal with a line extending out the door seemingly to infinity.
This year we are trying something new! The auction will be in the lobby area to allow more people to bid. As I recall cards are $5. It will be at 3pm to 6pm and will lead right into the TSR Reunion party.
Heaven help anybody who has to go from one end of the resort to the other, for a 4pm game, and has to pass through the lobby.
I have an item to donate to the auction. And a few Frazetta puzzles for the silent auction, if that is still going on. Who do I get in touch with to give those to?
