Heading to Gen Con for the first time since '98, but only on Friday. Hopefully I'll have a chance to meet some of you. Do Acaeum members sit together at the auction, or are there DMZ's set up all over the place?

No real preference for front vs back, but we do we tend towards the left side of the room, closer to the display case holding the real rarities.

and you will spot them all a mile away as soon as something rare comes up for auction and they ALL put their hands up to bid...its one of the most hilarious things i have ever seen!

Well, I wouldn't say 'sit'.
But I have a different perspective (i.e. from the stage).

Most are in a group, yah. My spitballs don't hit innocent bystanders as often.

Maybe we should make 'em wear masks, like eBay does...

If it would not inconvenience anybody, would you mind stopping by Scotty's Brewhouse, 1 Virginia Avenue (1 block north of the Conseco Fieldhouse on Pennsylvania Ave) to pick up a set of promo dice? They're good for 10% off at the TLG booth (if you were interested) but I would like a set 'cause I'm weird.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.

We were supposed to meet the Lawrenson's at the Con today to check out our booth area and snag an extra table. Unfortunately they didn't show up. Malc was supposed to take a group of us through an adventure today. Kind of worried on several levels. Hope they are OK.
