An update to my blog where I hightailed it over to Springfield, Ohio to check out HMGS-GL's Advance The Colors, (ATC) Convention.
Lots of fun, and good time. Lots of pics, so be patient.

Check it out here: link

As always comments are appreciated.
Let me know what you think!
Enjoy!

As far as no vendors on Sunday, it is for historical (no pun intended) reasons. Sunday games were few, and they were very sparsely attended, as was the dealer area. The vast majority of attendees are done at the end of Saturday evening. Being open on Sunday is also another day of rent, and there was not a ROI for the expense, so it was dropped.

I think it's a great local/regional con. Sorry I didn't see you, but I started a new job and I had to work that weekend.

HEY! It's me!! Thanks for the prize Murphy!!

As far as Sunday goes, I've been told (not that I'm an insider, but I know people} that locally Sunday attendances are near zero. That said, the local shows seems to do Friday and Saturday only. Which I thought was odd…don't people work on Fridays? But from what I've seen, people must take Fridays off!!

Or (much like me) there are a lot of retired Wargamers out there….

As for ATC's attendance, according to the President, attendance was up 5%, the biggest growth was Friday.

And I'm not sure why, I got a table on Saturday at the Flea Market…but I think Friday may have been a better bet. It seemed there were a lot more people shopping on Friday and more vendors too….
