Title: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on March 17, 2009, 02:47:58 pm The convention registration is open:
http://www.boardgamegeek.com/bggcon I went last year for the first time and had a great time. It is a great group of people that run a great event. Thought I would share this here in case others might be interested. Cheers, Bixby EDIT: List of Attendees (To assist with meetups at the event) This may be a short list. :D Bixby Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: canada steve on March 18, 2009, 02:02:15 am Would love to attend but its a tad to far, over 5000 miles one way !!!

I went to the airport (on the way home) last year with a couple from England. They come every year. Never too far. :) Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Novelty on March 21, 2009, 08:12:40 am Where would you recommending staying whilst there?
Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on March 21, 2009, 09:44:18 am Where would you recommending staying whilst there? Right at the Westin. Information is on the BGG website. That is where the conference is located. They have rates negotiated for conference attendees. Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on March 21, 2009, 09:47:16 am I will update / edit my first post with a list of people attending if it turns out others are going to this. It would be good to meet and play a game of something while at the CON. Perhaps Carcassonne. :)

Perhaps a gameof Carcassonne and a winery tour would be in order. How far are you from Kelowna? Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Gantry on March 23, 2009, 01:32:28 am I cycled the KVR years ago, before the forest fire burned down the bridges, are they all rebuilt now? Fantastic trip. I am about 3 hours away.
Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on March 23, 2009, 09:17:10 am Trestles are all rebuilt. They had a grand re-opening last June.
Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Gantry on March 23, 2009, 04:25:43 pm Keep me posted as the date nears, no promises but if my schedule allows I may get out that way
Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on March 23, 2009, 05:08:44 pm Two trips in all:
We are going to fly to Kelowna and rent a car over the Easter weekend to do a recon of the area to help plan the real trip. The actually cycling trip will be the last week of August, 3 days of cycling and a few days after to relax with a winery tour or two. :D Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Skull One on March 24, 2009, 02:17:25 pm Interesting. I live 15 minutes from there and never even heard of that event. I just might have to attend.
Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: CKorfmann on April 09, 2009, 10:52:36 pm My wife and I have some good friends that moved to Dallas this past summer. She might be interested in visiting them, but I'm not sure.
Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on April 10, 2009, 12:52:21 am That is cool. Would be enjoyable to meet some CarcassonneCentral folks.
If anyone is interested, it is worthy to note that the event does sell out each year. You will want to commit to your BGG ticket within the next couple of months. Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on September 09, 2009, 09:12:15 am Just giving this thread a nudge to see if anyone is attending, (now that we are starting to close in on November).
Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Bixby on November 10, 2009, 11:49:34 am I guess I am the only CarcCentral member to attend this year. I have some great gaming line up for this year's con. WooHoo... only a week and a half away.
Keep it in mind for next year folks. Always a great time. Title: Re: BGG.CON 2009 (November in Dallas) Post by: Tobias on November 10, 2009, 12:20:43 pm If it were closer I would probably be there. hel
