The eagle-eyed Matt F, pointed out that our hotel is 13 miles from the convention center. It is not in fact the one within walking distance. It sucks but we could have worse problems.
This will mean that we will need to plan our convention logistics a little tighter. I think that most of us have late games so heading back to the hotel will not be too bad. Some of us have early games which could work out poorly for those expecting to sleeep in. That will either mean getting up an going early or having to catch a cab.
I was planning to be at the convention for an 8:00 am game on Friday and a 9:00 game on Sunday. I can survive with getting to the convention center by 8:00 each day. Many of us will be at the con until 12:00 AM on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. We just may not all be in the same place. I likely have plans Sunday after the con for a while with the Hex folks. I could likely let you guys take the car back to the hotel but then someone would need to come and get me when I am done. We will also have 2 cars but David's car is not as big as mine.
Is everyone's game scheduled up to date in the Gen Con system?
I think we will be covered with our two cars.
ReplyDeleteI will plan to be at the convention center at 8:00 AM on Thursday-Saturday and 9:00 AM on Sunday. That covers 5 people for a short distance. I will be there until 12:00 AM Thursday-Saturday.
David has events at 9:00 AM on Thursday, 8:00 AM on Friday, 10:00 AM on Saturday and 11:00 AM on Sunday. He has room for 3 or 4 for a short distance. He will be there until 12:00 AM Thursday-Saturday.
I thought everyone was aware of this. We couldnt get the downtown location because we booked too late.
ReplyDeleteRegardless, calling a cab for the 2 days I dont have morning events scheduled is ducky-fine with me... that is, unless you or David dont mind leaving the car keys with me.
I think the real question is: will we still have a Wednesday scouting sortie?
ReplyDeleteMy badge is at Will Call so I need to go down at some point to pick up my badge and bag of swag.
ReplyDeleteI expect that we will hit the convention center, grocery store, liquor store and tamale place as they are all on that side of town compared to the hotel. We might just have to pay for parking near our stops. There are meters on the streets and a bunch of structures.
ReplyDeleteI think David has to get his badge a will call too.
