GenCon summaries/reports

Post your GenCon reports and summaries here. This way we keep the clutter down and people looking for GenCon specific reports know where to look.

I'm going to try to keep this pretty quick and to the point, since I'm still trying to finish assembling my coverage for SCG. Just wanted to let y'all know what I was up to during GenCon.

We leave on Tuesday (Brass Man, me, Carl, kl0wn, and some non TMDers) and end up arriving too early on Wednesday to get in the hotel. We chill for like six hours doing nothing, then we go to the hotel to put out shit down, play some test games and t4, and then go get our badges in a line that stretched the entire length of the building.

Thursday we get up early and go to the exhibition hall to mise ridiculous amounts of free stuff (omfg clean laundry, <3 not having to do work) as well as see the artists before everyone else had. Then we went to the CCG hall and got pwned by showing up ten minutes too late to register. I meet some folks, but the crowds are pretty small still, so I bumble back to the hotel and crash.

Friday we get up and do the exhibition hall thing again, and I play some magical cards. I rocked dragon and got owned by Razor's 57 maindeck dragon hate cards.dec, which causes me to play type four instead. I meet dutchies and canadians and southerners, and make fun of Matt Katz because he thinks all t1 players are horrible, and proceeded to get no more than six points in any given day.

Saturday I hit the main event. I run a deck Phil, me, and kl0wn devised, expecting to rape b2b control and workshop all day. Instead I get madpwned by RavAffinity and SuperGro. Whoops. Then I did match coverage for SCG, which is hot, because now Pete Hoefling is going to pay me. How good!

Sleeping happened, and then on Sunday I made a last run for all the artists, and did some trading, including getting Bushman's absolutely wrecked beta Time Walk. This thing has so many stories to tell.

Then we started our voyage home. And drove. And drove. And drove. And then we dropped off the NY people. And drove. And drove. And then I got home, and promptly died. The end.
