Day 4
What? Could it really happen? Were we finally on the last day of our GenCon Indy 2004 Adventure?!?! Both relieved and disappointed, the Gentlemen stumbled out of bed to prepare for one final day of total Con goodness.
Sunday was similar to Day 3 and Day 2, except that it was Sunday, Day 4. The booth was (again) constantly surrounded by a throng of smiling, chuckling, and sometimes even boisterously laughing, gamers, all enjoying Dead Camper Lake and/or The Gamers that we had playing on the tv at the booth. Many fans were quoting whole sections of The Gamers, and we could tell they couldn’t wait to pick up all the quotes from Dead Camper Lake and quote those too.
In the morning, Phil went wandering around the Hall in search of dice. Not just any dice, however, but the impressive dice from Crystal Caste. Finally finding the Crystal Caste booth, Phil cuaght up with Michael Bowling, the main force behind the crystalline dice company. Michael’s wares are really impressive. Check out their stuff at their website: http://www.crystalcaste.com
Despite a few great drop-ins by interestingly costumed individuals (the characters are apparantly from Sailor Moon. Yeah, I don’t know either), the day eventually came to a close. Needing to whisk away for a filght a few hours away, the Gentlemen broke down the DGP booth in an hour and fifteen minutes, setting a new DG record (yes, we have lame contests). Although sad, we were sent off with a fine fairwell from our favorite Aaron and Cristi Williams, as well as Mike Stackpole, renowned game designer and author. It was a beautiful and fitting goodbye.
The trip to the airport was a sleep-deprived and hunger-filled blur, as was the wait for our delayed flight (awesome!). The trip home was filled with sleep, talking about the Con, and spacing out. We arrived at SeaTac airport at 12:30am Monday morning and were gone by 1:30am. It was an exhausting end to an exhausting, but truly excellent, Con.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth, ran into us on the floor, played games with us, or just simply supported us with their presence. We really appreciate it!
