Austin Game Convention

I just saw on BGG that Austin is having a game convention in Early January. I think I've met the organizer, but I'm not sure. In any case, Austin is close enough that you might consider going up just for a day or so. On the other hand, we'll probably have a day of gaming that weekend too.

Anyway, thought I'd mention it. Here's the convention website.

I pretty much felt like this kid the whole time I was at the Essen 2007 convention. Attending is an experience I would recommend everyone try at least once. My pictures are here: Link.

They sure know how to make good apple strudel and bratwurst there. The pizza was surprisingly good too. I must be hungry...

My favorite game of the show.... Race for the Galaxy by a nose with Brass losing out just a tad because of the somewhat esoteric theme.

So, who is going next year?
