I'd like to start off by thanking all the people who make Historicon truly the greatest show on earth. I've heard some people say this is the biggest miniatures convention on the planet. Whether that is true or not, it is truly a fantastic show.
As a vendor, I had my best show ever, and I suspect that was due to the absence of Cold Wars. I never get to play any games (because I am too tired after running my booth) but the games I saw at the beginning and end of each day were phenomenal. On Saturday at 7, I saw three different scales of Circus Maximus type games, and where else in the world can you see that? So thank you to all GMs, especially the PELA winners, who I noted on Saturday night.
The HMGS volunteers are fantastic, and I was amazed how many times I was asked if I needed help or if everything was running smoothly. Much appreciated! Jeff Kimmel in particular was everywhere, helping vendors load and unload and answering all questions! But all other volunteers, manning the registration booths or other jobs, were always helpful with a smile.
Lastly, I'd like to thank you, the attendees, for making this show special. My favorite activity is when a previous customer comes up and buys something because they liked what they bought before. No amount of money can make up for that feeling. And talking to people about so many various subjects is always a thrill. Whether you bought something from me or not, I, as a vendor, appreciate you walking through the vendor hall.
So to sum up, I'd give Historicon a 10 out of 10!
Cheers.
