Well, it's a 10-11 hour drive to Indy from Baltimore; that's counting stops.

I'm sorry. I thought I had mentioned this before. With all due respect, I consider most professional sports in the US to be a disease, similar to compulsive gambling. Cities are spending billions of dollars maintaining these teams and stadiums while schools and fire stations are closing due to lack of funds. I mean, really, explain to me what the hell does a basketball player do that's important enough for him to be paid a salary greater then the President of the United States!  If I woke up tomorrow to find the major leagues (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL) had ceased to exist, I would not shed a tear. I understand that folks have a soft spot for their sports teams. I just don't share the appeal. Sorry for being a downer; this happens to be a hot-button issue with me. Don't mind the crackpot. Carry on. |

So, I would say that is a no  Lets agree not to get into this discussion further though, as it could be a hot issue on may different levels. In general, we want to avoid political/religious/real world ideology discussion on the threads in anything greater than passing. So let’s consider this 'passed' before it starts Thanks you, The Management |

Wow, do you attend DragonCon more frequently than GenCon? Or actually how many times have you made the trip? (I forget if you have said this was your first GenCon or not) - BZ |

(I forget if you have said this was your first GenCon or not) - BZ This is my fourth or fifth GenCon. My first trip was to Milwaukee the last year GenCon was there; I (very foolishly) drove both ways solo. The next time I went, I flew to Indy, repeated that the next year, then drove last year (and will this year). My in-laws live in VT, so I'm used to doing ~9 hour drives for traveling. I've actually not made it to DragonCon yet. I can really only afford one con a year, and I've chosen GenCon each time. |

That website; talk about a show of extraordinary folks I love Mr. T the best Oh My! As far as driving goes, we get there just fine, the way home on the other hand; us old fogeys needed to stop about every 20 minutes and take a snooze. That is of course after sleeping through the exit we missed ( passenger and driver) and we had to go an extra 40 miles to get back on track. This is why I will be calling off on Monday. |
