Ok folks for any of you who don’t know Angie very well, she is an avid gamer. Role playing, card games, board games, video games, it’s one of her passions One of the huge events she goes to is Gen Con Indy, the best four days in gaming.
This year I had the pleasure of being a part of the event team for Alderac Entertainment Group. This meant I was running events in the card hall for 4 days. I love running events so this was right up my alley.
Tuesday night I fly out to Chicago after work and meet up with one of my friends. After a night of little sleep we gather the rest of our car and get out to Indy in time for me to grab lunch before reporting for duty. Wednesday turns out to be much like a thursday of Anime Boston. Get badge, follow instructions for setup. Easy enough. Team dinner that night.
Thursday and Friday are spent running draft format events and telling people where to go for their board game events. Saturday is the costume contest. I cant actually win anything, as Im working for the company but my character, Tsuruchi Akahana made an appearance.
Sunday was pretty much like any other con Sunday, clean up get your stuff, go home. For me it was go back to Chicago with friends, as I’m currently at the airport in San Francisco on a layover to continue my vacation. When I get back its time to get prepped for the fall cons.
