I’m starting with this aspect because knowing me I’ll fizzle out in posting about GaryCon and this is too important to leave until the end…only to get left out due to my own laziness.
Thank you.
Thank you Chris and Luke and Dale. You have created a
convention and atmosphere that is second to none. I am thrilled to bring my
family every year. If I had one convention a year to go to from this day
forward, it would be this one.
Thank you to all the volunteers who setup, breakdown, and in
between try their very best to make everything run smoothly. Those who bring
drinks and snacks to the people running games so the rest of us can enjoy
playing; those who help registration and those who sort out souvenirs; those
who spent countless hours figuring out how to get us places to play…it may not
be said as much as it should, but thank you.
To the hotel staff who did a fine job and seemed to be all
over the place this year…Thanks! And Well Done!
Thanks to all the people who ran games…for me special shouts
out to Michael Curtis who ran three of the seven games in which I played; to
Tavis Allison who came to this convention, even though he had recently-born
twins at home and a broken ankle, because he made the commitment to do so and
then ran Night of the Walking Wet well into Sunday morning when he had a hell
of a travel day to follow; and to all those that were so kind in running games
in which my kids played – they had a blast.
Thanks to all the other attendees who, year after year, are
so nice and friendly and welcoming that my kids have said repeatedly, “Everyone
here is so nice.”
Last, but never least, thanks to my lovely wife who puts up
with this nonsense every year and supports it so much that we’re already
planning next year. She truly is one in a million.
Good times, indeed, Jim! :)
