Subject: A new heartland con? Re: Gen Con - a Canadian thought
*** > I was at mapquest checking out how long it would take to get to Ouch! I guess I never looked too closely at exactly where ND was in relation to PA, but now that I think about it, Lancaster is pretty much south of Ottawa and Milwaukee is mostly west, and ND is further west. Yeah, I'll buy that it's a 24 hr. drive. I guess we won't see Dean at ECC until the year he's got plane fare burning a hole in his pocket. *** And, if you drop a line almost straight down from Fargo, you find you're on your way to Lincoln. Dean: Any suggestions for a new center-of-the-continent convention? I finally made it to MageCon, and must say a game group for playing in the 'wilderness'. ;->= I even forgave the irritations I mentioned in the Full Thrust game, and the feeling of playing in a barn. Nukecon in Omaha is certainly convenient for me, but darn small, Shauncon in KC an even worse drive for you, and the Denver cons, while still a pleasure, especially with side trips to visit the daughter, are still roughly the same distance as a trip to Milwaukee. Other thoughts or suggestions? I'm not thinking we'll be seeing a dedicated GZG-CenterCon anytime soon... Not with these 'wide open spaces. ;->= The_Beast PS Still haven't heard back from Keith. You sure he's accepting mail, Dean?
