Leaving soon from the Western Slope to descend on Denver, CO and Ghengiscon 2025, Colorado's oldest and longest running game convention. Snow in the forecast so, even though it is an interstate highway I travel, I do have my standard kit in the truck; winter boots, hat, gloves, and a blanket tucked under the back seat. Nothing sucks like 4 hours of stopped traffic due to some "incident". This can range from anything like deep snow, white out conditions, avalanche, 8 car pile-ups, and my favorite - flaming semis. I've seen them all.
I should get into town around 3pm, check in, and wander the convention hall for a new set of dice to purchase. 7pm is Rock Hard 1977. Billed as a board game, you attempt to rise from obscurity into a mega rock star. Never heard of it, never seen it, but going to play it - hard! Then at 11pm is the after hours party with all the sponsors and vendors. I wish I had a good pitch all figured out besides pointing an executive to my drivethru page. Sure would like to pick up a freelance writing project while I'm there. I'm not drinking so that will be a plus, and I am a bit of an extrovert so I will at least be able to gather names and what these people actually do.
