Quote from: airboy on June 09, 2016, 10:26:44 PMIs Origins in Columbus every year?

It's been permanently parked in Columbus ever since GAMA took it over.  GAMA's offices are literally across the street from the convention center in downtown Columbus.

I'm still on track for arriving sometime Friday afternoon/evening (finally remembered to register! ::) ).  As with MetalDog, I'm staying through Sunday night, so I can help with cleanup.

Timothy Zahn will be hanging out in the authors' area with Michael Stackpole, if you want to get yourself a "Zahn Wrote First" shirt and get him to sign it :)


It's my own fault, of course, but dammit I wish I'd seen this sooner.  I'd have ordered a shirt for my friend Amy (also a big Star Wars/Zahn fan) so I could've brought it with next week to get his signature on it.  Now, though, there's almost no way it would get here before I leave Thursday morning.  D'oh!

I've been told Ted's Montana Grill has an excellent Bison burger.  It's very close to the convention center.

Disregard what I said earlier, and I'm an idiot.  :uglystupid2:  I'm coming Thursday evening and leaving Sunday.  (Sheesh.) 

Finally starting to get excited!  For a long time it felt like this wasn't going to actually happen.

Okay, I *really* should've been paying more attention to this thread.  Dammit.

Sounds good!  I'm shooting/hoping to get there around 7:00 p.m., although I'm allowing for later if need be; it's a fairly long-ass drive for me.  :P  I've got Brant's number, so I'll give him a ring once I've checked into my hotel.

Hope it all goes well! Have fun, get drunk, don't shower, and don't get laid, just like the rest of the nerds there! :)

No, but I'm sure I want one of those "Crit Happens" t-shirts.
