I smuggled in a voice recorder, so I'm going to go through it this weekend to see if I can try and edit it into something fun to listen to.

He started trying to get the room literally seconds after registration opened and was able to get two rooms. By the time he went to register for the third room, it was full.<br/><br/>So I guess the answer to you question is "blind, dumb luck". :) @Reid: To be honest, a friend of mine got the room for a group of us.

It has lots of pockets and the camera only takes up half of the main compartment, so I have room for my cell phone, bottle of water, 50' of silk rope, etc.<br/><br/>It's a MUST whenever I go traveling.

GenCon was a lot of fun! “The utility of wearing a fanny pack during a convention outweighs the degree to which it makes one look effeminate.”

That is single-handedly one of the funniest sentence I’ve read this year.
