Trashfest: Tales of the Tape
Back to what Mr. Barnes was commenting on: is there any way to have a Fortress Americon? A "closed con" with known "non fun murderers." I don't know if the attendance numbers would be high enough, but it's a thought.
The gathering of assholes?

I also don't consider people "Fun Murderers" who were trying a game for the first time, only to discover that they didn't much care for it. I have to give the Eurogamers and Wargamers their props for trying something new. Although they might not have been able to get into the spirit of the game, the ones that I encountered didn't disparage the game or put the players down for liking it. For me, this was refreshing, In the past I have always encountered the "shiters," who shit all over the game and try to make other players feel stupid for liking it.
I now have the greatest respect for people like Thaad, who demo games. I lost my voice, I had to pee, and holy crap, my feet hurt. I couldn't imagine having to get up the next day and teach games again.
So there were a few bumps, like the cell phone guy and the crazy chick in the bathroom. They make good stories. I had an overwhelmingly fun time. I already miss all the guys I met, and am looking forward to seeing you all again at WBC.
The man is bugging me to watch Dr. Who, so I'll just leave you with this:

So two quick questions: Anyone making it down to Atlanta (or vicinity) this summer and who is going to the WBC? I may try to get up there this time.

Steve,
Will "I know Fucking everythign about ti3" Kenyon is planning a trip to the WBC. Right now he is planning on flying, but if you come with him maybe its a road trip.
There will be a ton of folks there in the open room playing AT games and Between Uba, KingPut and I we can steer you clear of the known Jackasses.
Also the WBC is a different animal. Games Days and most of the Gcom events tend to me more euro centric to start, so Trash Fest stood out there, The WBC is so large that there are pockets of folks playing whatever they like. There are dude playing week long World in Flames games, there are Wacky load gangster games going on, and even the euro gamers have their space. Everyone finds their nitch and fills it.
Sure there are Dick heads in the tournies (there are more in the euro game tournies) , this is just how it is, but for every one of them I have met at least 2 cool guys who love the games. the is especially true when playing an older war game, where the people still playing it are die hard fans of the game. They are not there to win, the are there because this is the only place they can stillg et thier fix.

Knob Creek? I know it's essentially Jim Beam ultra grade, but What about Corner Creek?

I woke up Thursday morning and found that bottle with the note, "GM gift" and the arrow pointing to the bottle. I cracked it open to teach Prophecy. We started with the "got your butt kicked by a bear shot," which progressed to "got your butt kicked by a snake shot," to "got your butt kicked by anything shot" to "your about to fight something, and might get your butt kicked shot." Waking up Friday morning was a bitch.
