I'll give you a suggestion that's out of the standard mix here (not that these aren't good suggestions)... Try one of our BYOV LARPs. Yes, they are 'live action role-playing', but don't let that fool you into thinking that it's full of vampires or weird rules or anything hard...

[quote user="Kyaria"] If I had $40 to spare I'd so be there! [/quote] Ah, that's just one dinner/drinks night at Scotty's, or one game in the exhibitors' hall. :)

[quote user="Jason S"] 3) LARPing [/quote] Oh really? Might I suggest some of the excellent LARPs from BYOV? The Event Reg Link Our Website We have tickets left for all of our LARPs, an lots of good stuff planned this year in each one. Like the Steampunk-friendly Funeral of Edward Hannigan...

Awesome. I just figured that it might help people looking for events for the moment if all or some of the pimping was centralized :) I'm from Iowa, where we caucus. If you don't have a ticket for my event, let me convince you why you should :)

Missed out on events you wanted? There's still a lot available. BYOV has a number of tickets available for our LARPs. These are beginner friendly, no 'boffing', no costumes required, no wierdness. Just role-playing intensive murder mystery sort of fun. Our Full List ... A Holiday At Hogwarts...
