JadeCon 2009 – Day One on the books

Greetings from downtown Indianapolis, home of JadeCon and, oh yeah, a little gathering called GenCon.

This is our annual gathering of Jaders, so please forgive the lack of real world news as we enjoy each others’ company. And if there are any entries that don’t make sense to you, they do to us. (Or, at least, they did when we posted them under the influence of a Young Obi-Wan.)

Yesterday was the arrival of most of the rest of the group. As usual, there were travel delays and bleary eyes, but much happiness at seeing each other again.

Many of us headed to the gaming tables and did well. Others shopped their wallets out in the dealer’s room. Still others of us headed to the Children’s Museum to see the King Tut exhibit. They also had a small Clone Wars exhibit with macquets and drawings. We got to see George’s infamous OK stamp, as well as the slightly less infamous “Plo kool” stamp of Dave Filoni. Of more excitement to most of us were the real-life costumes for Anakin, Mace, and Padme. Thankfully no small children were injured in the perusal of this exhibit.

Last night was Games Night. A lot of bursts of laughter. A few deep discussions. Then retirement to the suite for hang time.

The suite has this great clear glass ceiling, but this spiral staircase in the middle is destined to become the source of the first JadeCon injury, I’m sure.

Today begins the seminar schedule and, shocker, another party. Life is good.

  1. We were so focused on Doom coming from that staircase, who knew the real danger would come from setting the suite on FIRE?
