It is time once again to trek down to Indianapolis for some serious geeky good times! We’ve been going to Gen Con for the last few years and I have to admit I find myself totally looking forward to it well in advance. I had actually been to Gen Con a couple times way long ago as a little kid, back around ’79 and once again around ’82, this was back when it was actually held in Lake Geneva, WI. I found a few pictures the other day of the trip in ’79 or was it ’80? Either way I’ll see if I can scan them in, but now that I think about it they are pretty embarrassing, so maybe not. Either way I’ll try and get some footage of this trip because there is usually a lot of cosplay and general silliness happening as I’m sure you can imagine!

This year the girl and I decided we are going to road trip for the first time instead of flying and even though the flight is a piece of cake I am looking forward to the cruise down there. Relax, detox from “real” life, listen to some tunes and chit chat all things geeky with the wife, sounds like a killer way to get in the mood for Gen Con to me!

Another thing that is cool about Gen Con is like in the past years we plan on meeting up with our friends down there and their gaming crew as well. This inevitably involves eating tons of good food, geeking out about gaming and even a bit of the go out here and there. Oh and if you are in to the whole rpg game thing make sure to check out their site over at Epic Words. Good stuff.

I’ll try and update some as it goes but we’ll see. Oh and for the record, no Jeanne is not dressing up like a succubus, assassin or a silly elf lady, and further for the record neither will I, well at least not on the show floor, I mean Jeanne isn’t I mean, oh never mind! Now time to focus on getting through the day and then let the geeky goodness begin!
