Default Anybody else going to Gencon?

There's a big, ol' gaming convention in Indianapolis this weekend. I don't really play games outside of those which require a big, glowing box, but I enjoy Gencon, anyway. There's stuff for gamers, sci-fi/fantasy fans, and anyone else considered geeky by "normal" people. Anyone else going?

Hey Sharkey, can you pick me up on the way down? Actually, I don't know if I was serious about that or not.

I wasn't planning on going, and didn't know about it.

You'd be right. Most of the people at Gencon aren't geeky at all. Oh, there's the ones in costumes *hmm hm hm hmm* but most look completely normal. I don't see too many people there who look like the comic book store guy from the Simpsons.

Well, now ya do. I'll be there reinforcing the geek stereotype and blowing my last paycheck. See y'all in a couple days.
