A new heartland con? Re: Gen Con - a Canadian thought

Ouch !	I guess I never looked too closely at exactly where ND was in
relation to PA, but now that I think about it, Lancaster is pretty much
south of Ottawa and Milwaukee is mostly west, and ND is further west.
Yeah,
I'll buy that it's a 24 hr. drive.  I guess we won't see Dean at ECC
until
the year he's got plane fare burning a hole in his pocket.

And, if you drop a line almost straight down from Fargo, you find you're
on
your way to Lincoln.

Dean:
Any suggestions for a new center-of-the-continent convention? I finally
made it to MageCon, and must say a game group for playing in the
'wilderness'.
;->= I even forgave the irritations I mentioned in the Full Thrust game,
and
the feeling of playing in a barn. Nukecon in Omaha is certainly
convenient
for me, but darn small, Shauncon in KC an even worse drive for you, and
the
Denver cons, while still a pleasure, especially with side trips to visit
the
daughter, are still roughly the same distance as a trip to Milwaukee.
Other
thoughts or suggestions?

I'm not thinking we'll be seeing a dedicated GZG-CenterCon anytime
soon...

Not with these 'wide open spaces. ;->=

PS Still haven't heard back from Keith. You sure he's accepting mail,
Dean?
