It will get quieter and quieter as more people get here.

That's what I was thinking

FTFY

So just wondering who all my roomies are in the Spinster's Cottage. And what sleeping arrangements we need.

It's on the second tab of the Pencon Info google doc. Looks like you've got "cube" and "Kilanash".

Yeah, but to send them PMs I gotta find them in a thread. That is a lot of scrolling and searching.

Ahhh, good point.

The GWJ search sucks, but not for finding users.

Thanks. PM's sent.

Residents of Woodcutter, we should chat a bit a bit about who's the cuddler and who's a snorer. Sleep walker?

PM your gmail, please. I've never started a gmail conversation, is it as simple as adding multiple recipients?

Ok, just a warning, since I saw at least 2 other people do this.

Once you put in your trip information to Google maps and click on "Save my map", DO NOT CLICK ON THE ADD TO GWJ OPTION.

That will add your entire trip to the GWJ map. Including your address.

I've removed myself, my home address, and someone else's trip information.

Weather update for those who are packing for the weekend:)

Damn it! Now I have to totally unpack everything and repack! THANKS!

Mic, chord, stand purchased.

Tabs loaded on iPad, in addition to lyrics.

Everything minus my clothes and laptop are sitting in my living room.

It's a hundred an ninety four miles to Ravenwood castle. I have a full tank of gas; Half a pack of cigarettes that don't belong to me; It's dark out and I'm wearing glasses. Let's hit this.

I'm in the process of packing up right now as well. Getting excited to see you all.

Man, I'm so f*cking bummed. My son and I are going to do some serious rocking to make up for my sadness.

What mic did you grab?

SM58S, because what the hell?

Amen.

Wooooo almost time to leeeeaaaave for PenCon!

Just to confirm, the event *officially* starts at... ?

The calendar event says 5pm, but I'm just trying to make sure I'm not too fashionably early.

As far as I know, Penguin con--*ahem* Pencon starts whenever you arrive. In other words, have fun.

We need to have some boardgame trading (or giveaways). I've got the Simpsons Clue game and the Pirates of the Caribbean game of Life. I'll bring 'em if somebody wants em.

I will also be bringing to play:

Talisman
Claustrophobia
Castle Ravenloft
Scrabble
Yahtzee
Zombies!!!
Zombie Dice
Ascension
Ascension Storm of Souls

I'd love to be there. The Cincinnati S&T was a great introduction to good board games. I'd like to play more with folks, and meet some more peeps.

My wife bought me Ascension for my birthday. I bought her Ascension: Storm of Souls today for hers. I was impressed by the mechanics tweaks, and we noticed some significant changes.

Have fun everyone.

Let me rephrase that - I know some events are planned, so I am just curious what the start time for the "Welcome to Pencon" address is that Oily will give?

Hitting the road in 6 hours after a good sneak through Giovani's Lab. Character sheets are printed. Encounter mechanics rambling through my head. Hoping Oily's patient with teaching me Game of Thrones. Hoping for a hug from Cheets.

Happy Zenke is happy.

Getting in bed now, leaving for Pencon in 4 hours. Which will put us there in about... ooo... 12 hours, give or take. See you all there!

Played Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards Duel at Mt. Skullzfyre, Eminent Domain, and Eaten By Zombies tonight with Boogle, Carrot, and Stilgar. I had a good time. I think Eminent Domain was the fav of our group.

I'm presently waiting on my first flight to Washington. The city is an odd place at 3am. At least the airport is nearly pleasant at this ungodly hour. No crowds, and the staff have yet to be worn down by ceasless processing of chattel. I really need a coffee.

You guys better be worth it.

Edit:Oh the joys of air travel. My flight just got delayed an hour and a half. No idea if I'll be able to make my connecting flight. And I'm suppose to meet people for a ride to the castle. United! *shakes fist*

That sucks. I'm sitting at the airport waiting on my flight as well.

On plane now, waiting for take-off. No special treatment by TSA. How rude!

Same here except I got a butt pat.

Crud. Mechanical issue. Hopefully it doesn't cause me to miss my connection.

Edit again. Dang. Radar isn't working and we are going back to the gate. I'll most likely miss my connection now.
