Re: GenCon?

Since I am looking through the pre-reg info on Andon's site, I think
it's about high time I decided what I'm going to do this year.

	Just what kind of "upgrade" are we talking about here?

	This special guest wouldn't happen to be fleeing the Cylon
tyranny,
would they?
	I'm deffinetly going to sign on to this one!  It looks like a
HOOT!

	I haven't decided on there yet.  I'll let you know.

	I'm there.  Can we bring our on minis for this or no?  I'm
working on
my new NAC fleet, and I'd like to show it off this year.

	While we are on the subject of Gen Con, here's a short list of
stuff
I'd also be willing to play:

	B5 Wars and/or EFSB
	Star Blazers (I'll bring that chart that makes mass attacks
easier to
figure out and roll for.)
	Illuminati (either NWO or the original game).
	Heavy Gear/Jovian Chronicles (Since DP9 won't be there this
year.)
	Flintloque (I'll bring me Ork rifles; `ungry for a taste of
Freach
flesh)
	
	Also we Mailing List participants should consider where we will
meet
for our annual dinner.	Mike wanted to try Maeders, a very fancy german
resturant.  I think that's a shirt-and-tie resturant. However, if we
want to try to go there, I'll look into the arrangements.  We could also
go to that BBQ place on Water Street, like last year.  A new option is
the new Brett Farve's Steakhouse.  My dear sister went there a few
months ago and brought a doggie bag... EVEN THE LEFT-OVERS WERE
FANTASTIC (BTW, I reccomend the Ribs and the BBQed Sirlon Tips.)
	Another idea I've been bouncing about my head would be a
brat-and-burger cook out at my place in Muskego (a 20 minute drive from
Milwaukee).   Sweet Corn should be in season by then, so we can throw a
dozen or so ears on the grill and roast them as well.  I don't know if
we can squeeze the trip into the schedule, though.  Let me know what you
guys think.

	He's well perserved... either that or he needs the sword I got
last
year.

     "Think of all the considerations that go into each decision you
make: 
Is it ethical? Is it good in the long run? Who benefits? Who is harmed?
What
will it cost? Does it go with the couch? Now imagine a large
group-imagine a
very large group, say, 250 million people-trying to agree on every
decision
made by every person in the country. The result would be stupid, silly
and 
hugely wasteful-in short, the result would be government."
