I'll be there, just like every year. I hope to track down a piece of power or two at a decent price and maybe play some vintage. I am a complete vintage newbie, so I probably won't play in any tournaments, just for fun.
I'll probably loiter around the vintage events to meet people and find casual games.

Hello, my name is Dair. I live in Central Indiana, near Indianapolis, the home of Gen Con.
I started playing Magic with birthday money the week Legends came out. I was lucky enough to buy a handful of packs with some Revised thrown in. I played semi-competitively (played local tournaments, and won a couple 20-30 person events) up through Tempest block. Lack of funds in college caused me to quit playing regularly and I even had to sell my incomplete Power set to cover car insurance. Flash forward to Mirrodin and I jumped back in for a block. I mostly played constructed events and quit to play Vs. until it died (I couldn't resist the easy money in Vs., as qualifying for the Pro Circuit and cashing in events was not too difficult). Flash forward to last year at Gen Con and I am back into Magic. I splurged on a Mox Ruby at a good price and then met a NY Vintage player in a Sunday draft. He said that Vintage was the cheapest format, because of the lack of rotation and blew my mind. I hadn't thought about it, but he had a point. I decided that Vintage (and some Legacy) would be my format of choice.
I recently starting working for a comic book store and we are moving to a larger location in the coming months. We will have gaming space and I hope to start a Vintage scene in Indianapolis by holding regular events.
I found out about TMD through the site Eternal Central, where I discovered So Many Insane Plays podcast. Here I am, and I hope to be a part of the community for years to come.
