Everybody's Gotta GENCON

BEHOLD! INDIANAPOLIS!

IDC-2.jpg

So hey there's actually something going on in this city, go figure. And that thing is GenCon!

gencon_logo.jpg

A place where there's video games and cosplay abounds and... well I've never actually been so I figure it's probably like any other convention. The only difference is that I will be there! You should come too.

If that is not enough to entice you, then maybe I should also mention that fantastic artist and all-round wonderful person Lexxy will be there at her artist table giving out art in exchange for money!

This is all going down AUGUST 5th - 8th, and I will be there at least one of those days. So guys, GenCon.
LOL INDIANAPOLIS jokes will be met with a long-brewing hatred from the deepest part of me. LOL THE MIDWEST jokes will be met with a begrudging acceptance that the midwest is a shithole.

LIST OF ATTENDEES
1. Me (Thursday most likely)
2. Lexxy (presumably all weekend)

    It's a live action DnD thing of sorts that's pretty cool. You should check it out.
