No, you never did.
I had my HBG shirt on and played 2 games of Anniversary. -
Ah, I had my A&A.org shirt but was constantly playing. Made it to the 1942 SE finals. I even won a bunch of your HBG stuff in the raffle.

WTF lol…
You know, that damn DJensen tried the same thing at FMG 2012, I practically had to bounty hunt his a$s down to find out who he was, I had even brought him some specialty beer! And he was all like “well gosh gee, I was just playing this game of WAS over here…”.
I don’t know why he finds the need to hide in the crowd…
It’s ok, on my last day, I made him take me out for lunch and drive me to the airport Hahaha :P. Gargantua ='s win.

I didn’t do it on purpose, really. I didn’t think I would be playing 38 hours of A&A during GenCon.
Next year, less playing. I’m also going make some stickers or something to hand out so that I get around to everybody. Also, if I have a teammate for the tournaments, I can wander and chat a bit more. I now have a few more people I’m willing to team up with but they’d have to show up.

My services can be had for the right price.
We should talk via PM…

My first game of Anniversary was great. We 4 guys got acquainted and trashed talked , but clean in all in fun. 3 of us met for dinner later. Really enjoyed the games and talking to people.

A. He might be thinking of GenCon LA. Sunday was pretty dead.
B. It’s closer to 3.5 daysI’d actually say 3.75 days, which is close enough to 4 days for me. The thing that some folks may not realize is that this convention opens on Thursday morning (in a sense Wednesday late night) and doesn’t close until 4pm on Sunday, when they start to turn off the AC. GenCon basically runs 24 hours from Thursday at 8am to Sunday at 4pm, which adds up to 80 continuous hours of convention time.
Even the exhibit hall is still open until the last moment on Sunday at 4pm. Only 1 vendor was partially packed up when I went to the exhibit hall at 3:30pm on Sunday.
The exhibit hall was actually still packed with people at 3:30pm. Everybody was still going full force, selling games, doing demos, etc. Most conventions are just not like this. It is absolutely worth it to go at least once in your lifetime and the sooner the better because you’ll want to start planning the next time you can go after your first time.

On Thursday nothing happens. Nothing really open.
Experience from Gen Con LA in which you had to break in the empty game room in order to get that mysterious “4th” day of gaming.
Id like somebody to tell be it was actually open on Thursday at 8am… who actually played a game that day.
Maybe it’s different now.
