Origins- July 5-8, 2007
WBC- July 31 to Aug. 5, 2007
Gen Con Indy- August 16-19, 2007
I can go to Origins because it normally coincides with the 4th of July weekend. My wife and girls hang out with the in-laws. I catch up with them on the Sunday night for fireworks.
I then make my real gaming call to go to WBC. I GM the Axis & Allies event there and play in some other tourneys. I won the History of the World event last year.
After that kind of gaming adventure, I can't make it to GCI. Not enough "Honey-Do" points in a year for that kind of turn around. I was able to stop in on the Saturday morning in 2005 only because we were visiting friends in Indy.
I can only get away with the WBC convention and its length because my wife is a teacher. If she actually had to go into school during that time, I wouldn't be going out to Lancaster, PA.
