Fracking GenCon!!! 
I E-mailed and Called them (having to leave a message) well over 2 weeks ago, several times.
Never got anything back but just 1 email stating that they will look info my issue, but AFTER C4 starts, because they have been closed this week and are going to remain closed till Wed. I was told by the hotel I have to go through gencon.
I can't unload that room, and now I know why I can't get a hold of them, hows that for customer service?
Now I'm stuck paying a $191.80 charge for NOT using a room I have on hold.

I hope you all have a great time at CIV. Be careful. If anyone needs any plants watered or something let us know as we will be staying here.
Barring any babysitter problems, I would love to see some pics from CIV at June's meeting.

OK, so I have never done this before, so I am wondering, since I am gonna have a lot of money  , how should I carry it around? Should I get it all in cash, or are most of these places going to be able to take plastic?
you can always do what us troopers do, put it in your thermal detonator and shove it in your backside

I'll bet it will be up on YouTube before we even get back to the hotel that day.
Or it will be on hyperspace.
Either way you will see it.

Hey Guys,
I just wanted tp say have a safe trip also. Have lots of fun, take lots of pics, and bring home lots of great stories.  Mike, don't forget to get that poster for me. 
I'll be watching the live G4 special on Friday, hopefully I'll see a familiar face or two. Atleast a familiar costume maybe.
