After reading the responses, I have to agree with Tom. Thanksgiving is right
out, later October seems to be problematic, November and beyond
starts to get unpredictable weather-wise, August is a sweat bath in
Toronto and people are mostly on vacation anyway, so that pretty much leaves
September.

How does 3rd week of September sound to everyone? It's also 5 months, not 4,
away from another GZG con in PA, which spaces them out a bit better.

I'll start looking at availability of facilities and such (if we can't get
anywhere to play, then we're pretty much stuck). Luckily I'm about 2 degrees
of separation from the group doing Toronto's WorldCon bid so the leg work is
mostly done.

As to everyone that volunteered, oh, you're in it now...! I've taken down the
names. Excpect to be bothe... uh, contacted in the near future.

This is great! Assuming I have a job then, I would be intrested in
attending. I would even run a FT scenario and/or a DS2 scenario (if I
can get someone to help with loaning minatures for it).

Is the next GZG con in PA going to be the weekend before Cold Wars? I don't
know about anybody else, but I thought the timing was pretty bad. I would have
gone, except I'd already made plans to do Cold Wars, and I couldn't blow off
two weekends in a row like that.

It doesn't have to be moved much, just a couple of weekends between the two
cons would be nice.

I agree with you. We didn't realize the proximity to Cold Wars until after we
had set the date. The 1999 GZG ECC will be several weekends away from the Cold
Wars convention. I've seen the dates for the 1999 and 2000 Cold Wars and we
will plan around them for Lancaster.
