Ok, so who's heading to Historicon this year? My wife and I are hopping on a train tomorrow morning (0700) from RI to VA. Looking forward to seeing some old friends and gaming partners.

Another JRIII game at 2pm Friday. I'm expecting a tight squeeze between playing and GMing, but it's always a hectic time. Leaving tomorrow to see some sights in the Shenandoah Valley.
Safe travels.

Convinced the wife to leave a day early for our vacation to the Outer Banks so I can spend Friday afternoon at historicon.

Double W11 Jul 2016 5:45 p.m. PST

Still debating it. Can only go for a day. It is 90 minute drive for me but I-95 can quickly jam with traffic, even on the weekend, making the trip much longer. Not sure it is worth the aggravation just to do some shopping. (Which is about all I will be doing.)

pzivh43 Supporting Member of TMP11 Jul 2016 6:06 p.m. PST

Will be there Thursday!!

Heading up Thursday morning.

pzivh43 Supporting Member of TMP12 Jul 2016 3:17 a.m. PST

Rick,

"Looking at dirt on Wednesday in Richmond". I'll bet there's a story behind that statement!!

CarasML12 Jul 2016 4:01 a.m. PST

pzivh43, he usually crashes at my place for the H'Con. Arriving Tuesday afternoon / evening. Wednesday, is typically spent cruising ACW sites. Last year was Pamplin Park, the year before Brandy Station. This year it's Richmond, starting at Tredegar Iron works, then on to a variety of spots, Cold Harbor, Malvern Hill, Drewry's Bluff, Gaine's Mill etc… Punctuate it with some BBQ and a fact-finding trip to determine if Richmond is becoming the "Munich of the West" (beer tasting) and there you have it! "Looking at dirt" indeed!!

Stepman312 Jul 2016 4:39 a.m. PST

Be there on Thursday…Avoiding 95…using 3 to 301…

Ember52 Supporting Member of TMP12 Jul 2016 5:20 a.m. PST

Arriving Thurs. afternoon. Also using 3 & 301 to avoid I95.

bogdanwaz12 Jul 2016 5:37 a.m. PST

My son and I will be heading down Thursday morning. We'll be running the Fourth Annual Historicon Musical Wargame (this year -"My Fair Demon Barber of the Opera")Friday night and "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)" game on Saturday afternoon.

M1Fanboy12 Jul 2016 6:13 a.m. PST

Be there for the day on Saturday! Wearing a PW club shirt! I will put my TMP handle on my badge! Come and say hi!

Frederick the not so great12 Jul 2016 8:32 a.m. PST

I'll be drinving to the site around noon tomorrow to see if I can help out with the set up. During, I'll be outside smoking a cigar.

Stepman312 Jul 2016 9:03 a.m. PST

Great idea M1Fanboy…putting your TMP handle on the badge…I'll do the same so if anyone wants to come up and punch me in the mug, you'll be hitting the right guy…though there may one or 2 I may want to slug as well…

Ceterman12 Jul 2016 9:45 a.m. PST

Con fever has set in! My wife and I will be there, signed up for 2 Jutland games with 2 different rules sets, 2 flea sessions, shopping for some new stuff. In good health this year and ready to enjoy seeing old friends!

Leaving tomorrow and running Fireball Forward games (from Operation Epsom) on Friday and Saturday.

HMS Exeter14 Jul 2016 2:55 a.m. PST

Another vote for 3/301. I'll be hip deep in it in 3 hours. Just avoid Caledon Rd. Stick with 206 to Kings Hwy after you get feet dry in Virginia. Caledon is shorter but a twisty headache. Even MapQuest warns you away from Caledon. Kings Highway is longer but fast and pleasant.

capncarp14 Jul 2016 7:14 a.m. PST

I'll be a no-show this year too. Have fun guys.
Virginia has a Commonwealth traffic monitoring site like Pennsylvania (Google "511PA") or Maryland (www.md511.org) called Virginia 511 Web (www.511virginia.org)
511virginia.org

for those of you travelling the Old Dominion State's roads. At 10:17am, I-95 south of DC looks suprisingly clear and flowing.
