Thoughts and What Not

So day 1 of GenCon has come to a close, and on the whole it was a really good day. There were some rough patches, but when attending an event with thousands and thousands of people, you really have to expect as such.

Since this was the first proper day of the con, I thought I would give a bit more of a report on what I did today.

The morning went somewhat less smoothly then I'd have preferred as I managed to secrete my wallet at the bottom of my suitcase and then had to go back up for my badge (slipped my mind after the wallet panic). Once that was all settled we headed down to the Convention to begin our day. Naturally do to my delays (probably) we got to our preferred parking garage, LITERALLY, as they put out the full sign, however we got decent enough parking a few blocks away and the walk was good for us haha.

Once in the hall we picked up some generic tickets and then parted ways as the two bums went in early thanks to their trade day badges (grr). Once the doors opened officially we wandered around the dealer hall for a bit before going and listening to the delightfully angry "TheAngryGM" as he gave a simple and basic guide on running your first sessions as a GM while dressed up as Sailor Jupiter (Charity reward for the people who donated lol).

We then went and did a few more booths before splitting up again. At this point Chris and myself went and enjoyed some fine cuisine from Scotty's and picked up the blue D6 (the necronomicon grilled mac'n'cheese and pulled pork sandwich was great).

We then wandered the hall getting swag and procuring a few games before meeting up with several groups of friends and formed a mighty blob (thirteen people!).

The rest of the night was general hang outs and fun times, so with that I will end the post and hit the sack as Day 2 of GenCon waits for no one!
