Green 8 reporting in!

Just arrived at the hotel. Was so great seeing a GWJ sign posted in the lobby, and the lady even knew about it when I asked!

And yes, the toll roads are total BS. Is paying for them what people in these parts do for fun or something?

I think I'm going to leave cbus around 8. I did okc to columbus from 4a cst to 7p est so that's 15hrs. Better than the damn google maps.

Who's ready for some Apple Butter makin' fun?!!! I know we are!

Man, you guys have fun - wishing I was there

Time for a thread title change; we are well past "PLANNING" at this point.

You guys have fun play the heck out of those games for me. I'll try to be on LoL in the evenings

On my way to pick up Cyrax in BFE Ohio. Approx arrival to Pen Con: 12:30 pm.

Is there a IGWJD picture thread yet? There really should be.

Drive safely. It's been spitting rain for 24 hours here in NE Ohio and it's probably not going to stop. It's a great weekend to stay inside and be nerds.

We are now doing introductions in the world's most fabulous hotel - Westlake's Holiday Inn. This place is awesome. It's got vidja gamez EVERYWHERE! And beer. Precious, precious beer.

Have fun all. Take plenty of incriminating pictures!

You're coming next year or the face punching starts.

Strangeblades just got a vagina-punch Fatality in the Quarter Circle Dick Punch tournament.

Wish I could be there but have been traveling too much lately, needed a weekend at home. Hope you guys have a blast!

Wait, Fed is in Syracuse! That makes two of us... Safe trip all.

Victory shall me mine, in the glory of the emperor.
(on an unrelated note: if anybody could sabotage Gunner's PC, that would be great)

Try as he might, Fedora's backhanded tactics did not stand. He should have thought twice about bringing an Apothecary to a gun fight. Onward to the finals for the green team.

More pictures please. Even ones with Strangeblades in them

Rest assured, a lot of pictures will be posted as many have been taken. Look for them tomorrow evening or Monday.

Although we have internet back so maybe more tonight.

Here are a couple photos

The beginning of what would be 95 quarts of apple butter.

My boy taking a break from being held by all of his relatives and dreaming of watching daddy play board/video games.

I'm glad you all are having so much fun. Next year have it the 4th Saturday in October and I'll bring apple butter

I think we have some of the same empty cups like in your photo. It may have other beverages in them though.

Mono, you and the Mrs. were definitely missed at this event. Still, apple butter.

We will plan to go to any we can that don't conflict with family events... (apparently Mrs. Mono doesn't want to explain to her mother that we couldn't make it to *fill-in-the-blank* family event because we decided it would be better to go play games with people I met on the internet... go figure, I tried ) We have also reserved our room for PAX East for the 3rd year in a row and look forward to playing some fun games there with goodjers again.
