A great Historicon! Hosted 2 games of Battlegroup WW2, helped a friend run 2 Desperado games, and also hosted a pickup game of my Russian Civil War rules. Got to see some old friends and meet new ones. Spent some money and sold a few items at the flea market. Seemed like there was more people attending that last year.

Historicon was a huge success! If you attended and didn't have an awesome time then you're probably just miserable………Scott, Brenda and the crew did an incredible job on presenting a truly amazing show! Rest up you all deserve it.

I was having a great time till some guy named Ed Miller forced me to buy his stuff at Wally's

I was sadly unable to attend. Glad that it was success! The crew there always does a great job.

Hands down one of the best conventions I can remember. I played in a lot of excellent games and had some great conversations with acquaintances old and new. My Wally's sessions were both fun and profitable and permitted me to treat myself to more goodies from the dealers' hall than I had planned. Convention operations were on point. The only issue with the hotel was the elevators which, to be fair, was due to the attendees causing malfunctions.

To be fair the main elevator connected to the parking lot was out of order which was not due to attendees. I was told it was out of order for months. Still had an excellent time…

Darn that Ed Miller, I had a great time.

As always, I enjoyed volunteering (for the Events Desk) and also spending my volunteer vouchers (at OMM).

I put on two games when I wasn't volunteering. The Friday night game had a long wait list, so I asked around (thank you, Cliff!) and ran it a second time -- on Saturday night, so all is not lost for that time slot. But it was pretty quiet around us. Actually made it a lot easier to hear. ;-)

The other game was run on Saturday afternoon, and things were pretty busy. Next door was a beautiful AWI game.

Congratulations on another well-run convention. Kudos to all the staff and volunteers. Feedback has been overwhelming great. That is good news for our hobby. Thanks for doing this.
