Gencon or Bust

After talking it over with a few friends I've decided to go to Gencon after all. As Margo pointed out, when I'm old an grey I won't be wishing that I'd paid off my hospital bill quicker, I'll be wishing I went to Gencon. (Strictly speaking, I'm already old(ish) and grey, but the principle still holds. {And as a point of pride, I'd like it to be known that when I color my hair I'm not trying to cover up my grey hairs; I just find my natural hair color boring and unattractive.})

I don't know yet what I'll be doing; I've been a little too frazzled to look at the list of events at the Gencon site. But I think I'd like to play in the Legacy tournament--Iron Fortress of the Daidoji FTW! I guess I should download a copy of the Samurai Edition rules and brush up on how to play the game. Deck building will be a pain, but maybe this could be my chance to get some sorting done in the collection. I should also see if there are any obscure rpg games I'd like to try. I kind of don't understand people who go to Gencon and play D&D: How hard can it be to find a local D&D game? Everway or Bunnies and Burrows--now those are the games you go to Gencon for. I suppose this is one of those matters-of-taste things.
