I received my badge in the mail last week. My excitement nearly bubbled over as I opened the envelope because it arrived on the very same day as my new D&D Starter Set. Surely that was no coincidence. It was an omen that GenCon 2014 was going to be a wonderful experience.

So now my badge is quite worthless. It will not even make a good souvenir since no awesome gaming memories are attached to it. The tickets I purchased for multiple gaming sessions and painting seminars are also not worth the paper they are printed on. In the garbage they go. Even the nice room I booked at the Springhill Suites will go unused. I guess I need to call and cancel soon so that some other lucky gamer can get a last minute downtown hotel room.
No gaming for this guy in Indianapolis this year. Yes, I'm bummed but I'll get over it.
Okay. So no GenCon this year. Ive been working hard to meet all of the goals I set for the year when I started this blog but I'll have to concede defeat on this one. I'm sure my failure will not be held against me by the RPG world. Ha! Plus, there is always next year to make a triumphant return!
As always, thanks for reading (and in this case, listening to me bitch and moan).
Not to mention, you just depressed the hell out of everybody else who have liked to gone, but aren't able to. Well, break out the liqueur. Time to justifiably wallow. Since you got the promotion, make sure to throw your weight around at work to get this time off next year.
ReplyDeleteGood point. I was being selfish and not thinking of it that way. At least I HAD the chance to go. That's the way I should be looking at it, right? Ha! Anyway, missing out will make next year even better!
