My buddy got a VIG badge in the lottery so I'm looking forward to this year more than usual since most the headache of getting a downtown room is gone. Hopefully it's better this year with housing with it not being the anniversary and the price hike.

Can confirm! The cat cafe also had some pretty good hot chocolate and I want to say a vegan chocolate chip cookie? And yes, Kuma's Corner was awesome, let's go again this year, let's go RIGHT NOW GENCOOOOOOON

Tickets bought, no late game missing out for me. Will Call because I'll be up Wednesday and will have all day to get them.  EDIT: I know everyone uses GroupMe for the chitchats; is there any interest in a Discord server? Also, whats the Wi-Fi situation at the Center? Every so often last year I would get a whiff of a free connection. Do they offer paid Wi-Fi? Probably not worth the price if so. EDIT EDIT:

We were only aware of him because we shared an elevator with him and he says, totally unprompted: "Man, some stinky rear end gamers around here." to which we all kind of chuckle and go "Yeah, that's gencon." "They need to get some AXE!"

I shared an elevator with the Dungeon World Guy and then complemented his choice in fried chicken over twitter last year. PYF GenCon Elevator Story. In 2015 (I think) I told Patrick Rossfuss to pls write something as he got into an elevator and he seemed real sad as the doors closed.

By "dungeon world guy" do you guys mean Adam Koebel? He had breakfast one table over from us at Cafe Patachou on Friday morning last year. I hope he was not too alarmed when BlackIronHeart and I were casually discussing murdering one of our roommates in order to end the snoring. Oh god, the snoring.

If your roommate refuses to buy and use nasal strips, you are well within your rights to force them on while they are sleeping.
