March 18th, 2010?

So, is there any plans for a pre-Garycon gathering at Ye 'Next Door Pub' on the date mentioned above? Just a'wondering? (This way Dale doesn't have to man-the-door & gets to interact with people.) :lol:

 

I'm hoping to arrive on the 17th but don't know if I'll be able to make it over on the 18th. I'm planning on visiting with a friend that day but if I can talk him into coming it would be loads of fun. Of course, he'll be there on Friday anyway.

It just seems there are never enough hours in the day to get everything done that you'd like to.

 

I was hoping to get some beer & pretzel games, like Wiz-War, in on the 18th but you know what two things go really well with beer & pretzel games? I could give you two hints . . .

 

Groovy! I arrive late morning on the 18th. What's a fella to do round' them there parts during the day? I love beer and pretzels (and desert ) so that should work out well for the evening.

 

Whatelse? We work.

 

Shop the downtown, hang out by the lake if the weather cooperates, eat and drink at a variety of restaurants, catch a movie, or play a round or two of mini-golf if that's your thing. Downtown there's a library, too, if you want to read for a while.

Are the boat tours of the lake running in March? The boat tours are a fun date (maybe not as much fun solo) if the weather's nice. You can get a lakeside view of Stone Manor where the Gygaxes lived for a time.



I'll be at the Pub that Thursday evening.

 

I believe the boat tours don't begin until the first weekend in May, or maybe it's April. I don't recall them running in March. :?

 

The last two years the Lake has been frozen in March.

 

So.. does anyone else appreciate the humor of this situation?

How many times has this happened in a game:
The night before the adventure, the party meets in a tavern.

The question is who will be playing the party of the mysterious stranger NPC who sits in the shadowed corner and is quite obviously the one to ask about latest rumors about the dungeon? ; )

 

Ice fishing, then?


I'll get there sometime on Thursday afternoon and plan to scrounge up a game of something with somebody, perhaps by the pool or a card game of some sort in the lobby or restaurant? Lake Geneva is a beautiful place. My mother, in particular, used to love to spend a few days there every year in the fall before she passed. But, I will be there to game so I'll skip the movies and whatnot until I return home (no offense to anyone who likes to keep some variety in their activities, of course).

 

ha ha!

 

Hmmmm, I wonder if they'll let me check into my room a day early! Having some beer before the first day of gaming with you guys sounds like fun. Maybe I'll see if my friend will be willing to peel himself away from everything and come with me. It would be a blast.

(And, man, am I counting down the days. It's been a busy past few months and I'm looking forward to this little vacation.)

 

Still firming up my attendance, but it's looking good; not sure about a day early, though, since that = another hotel night.

 

It's been closed down for some time. :cry:

 

I know of at least two of the CT'ers that will be Wisconsin-bound earlier than the con, so we'll probably see you all at the club, provided we survived St. Paddy's Day.

 

I'm not planning on arriving until Thursday evening, so no pre-con hanging out for me. Looking forward to all the gaming that weekend, though.

 

Same deal for my crew. We're leaving on the 17th from MA/NH. Should be a fun ride!
