OK folks, the show is over, and I am cooked well beyond medium rare. However, I need to know what yout your thoughts are about the BG Halls and Library. So, start throwing me the raves, rants, and hot coals. Just allow for some slow processing of the informationover the next few days ... I think my brain...

2008 BG Hall Info

It is almost upon us and I thought it would be a good thing to post some of the BG Hall news for 2008. We have lost some space. We have more events in the prgram than last year. We have not yet filled to capacity any single timeframe during the show. Thanks to a lot of EO's and GM's being willing...

GCI Library 24 Hours?

I was considering having the Library open only until 3am eash day during the show, but there has been some interest in maing it open 24 hours. Last year the Library was not used enough to warrant the extra volunteer time in making this happen. IF you want to have a BG Library open 24 hours during the...

Re: Boardgames: The Good, The Bad, and The Boring

Yes, we did change the hours to be open 24 hours on FR and SA ... this was due to requests by the attendees. Frankly, while being what they wanted, it was not used enough to warrant doing so again (7or 8 rentals from 2am to 8am total for both days) with no rentals after 3am either day. The demand did...

Re: Boardgames: The Good, The Bad, and The Boring

marimacc: I wonder if you could put a downloadable tentative color map on the forums just before you leave? That could help at least some forumites. :) I can post the basic floorplan in color long before the show starts. It would prvide a general concept of the intentions, but as I stated things are...

Re: Boardgames: The Good, The Bad, and The Boring

garhkal: Not if each gaming area for bord games had a placuard up that showed what colors were what type of games.. Given the crowed conditions already, placing stands throughout the room seems like a tripping hazzard. Also, while most colors are consistent (green for Rogue Judges, blue for A&A,...

Re: Boardgames: The Good, The Bad, and The Boring

Tape anywhere in the convention center is pretty much out. We can not tape or post in any other way signs on the walls or doors, nor can we apply tape to the carpet. Yes, you have likely seen tape on the carpet, but they have a very $$ type of tape that is the only tape they allow, and they tend to guard...
