Gaming Conventions

Specifically, does anyone know of any this summer in either Vancouver, BC or
Seattle, WA regions? (Northwest bits of North America...)

I'm trying to plan my few weeks off this summer as a 'gaming holiday', ideally
including a gaming con. (Time span is anywhere from May thru August.)

Thanks in advance! (and pardon the two-list posting...)

Brian, Did you try "Convention Listings by Jenga"
(http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/4677/mainpage.html)?  That is
usually the first place I look for a new convention for my convention season.
It seems complete and contains rather good descriptions. You can search by
month, type, name, or location.

Hi Brian,

There is a convention around the end of August in Seattle called Dragonflight.
I used to work as part of the staff for that convention until I moved away
from the area nearly three years ago. I will probably be attending this year
(no job as of yet to suddenly send me overseas during the prime of convention
season). If you're interested I should be able to find out what the actual
timing of the convention and maybe an idea of some
of the events - which type would you be interested in (all types).

Hope this will help,

Dragonflight is on August 27th -> 29th at Seattle University.  More info
can be found at http://www.dragonflight.org/.  Lonnie & I were thinking
of running a few games of Full Thrust (fleet book rules) along with some Heavy
Gear at Dragonflight this year. We haven't quite made up our minds about it
yet, so if you are planning on attending and have some ideas on what type of
scenarios you would enjoy participating in, please drop us a note
with your suggestions - it may help us decide if we want to sign up <g>.

There's a very nice listing at the Northwest SF Resources page:
