West Coast YamCon 1

[Justicar BillyBob]

Any good places to stay?

[RexTalon]

Uh.... my house? Nekron's house?

[IraShaine]

Hmmm.....I wont have much in the way of money right then.

AND...

January is probably one of the WORST times of the year to drive up Interstate 5 through Oregon and Washington.

I love the Idea of Yamcon having it's own division here on the coast, even if I'm not invited. I wanna see how this pans out, as it's a brilliant idea.

LOL, I didn't think of that. Good point.

Yeah, November through Feb/March can be really rough on the drive from Cali. I'd still love to do a west coast get together!

How about:

I dont know if cento still reads the boards, he may be able to provide some insight to this con.

Looks like the ConQuest Portland was scrubbed, and the Vegas one is this month, too late this year, but might be a good venue next year. Esp for those of us of drinking age...

ConQuest Vegas

Pacificon is a good con in a great new location. The hotel is about two blocks away from the Great America theme park. The usually have a room set up for open gaming; which I made great use of last year! This year I plan on running at least one game, probably Heavy Gear.

...aaand you have crash space for 10+, an understanding spouse/mom that LOVES to cook for hungry gamers?

Sounds great, count me in!

Conquest Vegas or Pacificon sound good to me; I'm not sure I'll be able to make Pacificon this year, but I should be able to do either next year.

LOL! I was planning on getting a room at the con, but I do have lots of room at home 90 minutes away if it's really needed.

Santa Clara?!

Last I heard that place was infested by Vampires.

[IraShaine]

I say we shoot for Sacremento next march.

Reason being is its right on the major Interstates and has a major airport.
Also Sac is a hell of alot easier to get around in than the bay area.
I will probably be more or less broke in Sept.
Sac is about a 5 hour drive for me.

In fact if Nekron and Rexy were to go and drive they could drive to my place and we could shoot the rest of the way in a single vehicle.

[Easy Eight]

Conquest Sac would work too. I was there this year and it was great.

[RexTalon]

Uh oh... we might have a winner. I'll have to confer with my colleagues.
