I don't think I am. I don't get much out of cons since ebay became popular. I used to go to cons before ebay because on the last day merchants would sell off inventory, esp. old out of print stuff, real real cheap because they didn't want to lug it home and put it on the shelf for another year. Now all that stuff is collectable and sells for a premium.

I know there are other reasons to go to a con but none of them attract me. I prefer long term games over one shots and meeting 'celebs' does little for me. I don't begrudge anyone else who goes but I have too much going on to do the con thing. If I have the time to do it, I will do some table top instead.

I intended to go to NOLA con since it was so much closer but I didn't make that so driving 1.5 hours each way isn't likely for me.

Our household may go. I have to skip both LGGC and Bayou Wars this year, so this is looking like a good backup gaming con* for me. I like to bring the old board games out at the cons. If I attend, you can be sure I'll also be bringing some original D&D and/or AD&D goodness with me.

Not that BabelCon isn't a good con in it's own right, but LGGC and Bayou Wars are hardcore gaming cons.

We're going to be TV advertising in about a month, and we are in the process of creating the TV ad itself. This is a "concept" version of the ad, not the final version - or even a first draft. But you can get the idea of the format from it. Obviously, we'll be adding our main guests and whatnot for the final version. Suggestions are welcome.

Its a tad grainy because of YouTube's compression, but the original is in HD format.

We are asking everyone that attends the next public BabelCon meeting (June 29th), to please bring a costume to wear. We're going to film some *brief* footage for the BabelCon TV commercial, of people gaming, and we need people wearing costumes to be in the scene.

Its okay if you don't want to participate, or don't want to wear a costume - this is just a request. The meeting will go on as normal. We have a lot to cover and finalize, as you might imagine.

The meeting is at the normal time and place, at 2:30 pm at the Jones Creek Library, 6222 Jones Creek Rd., Baton Rouge (meeting room 1).

My fellow scientists, ladies, gentlemen and members of the worldwide press, allow me to introduce THE CONSORTIUM OF GENIUS in their first appearance at BabelCon. Soon their name will be a household word. Why?

Because since 1996 they have been devoting all their time, talent, and obvious good looks, into the single-minded pursuit of TAKING OVER THE WORLD. Except for that one time they attempted to destroy the world... but I digress.

Deep within their secret lair, three mad scientists and one smart-alecky robot are hatching an evil plot: TO ROCK the EARTH into OBLIVION!

I saw these guys play after Rock City Morgue at One-Eyed Jacks a few months ago. They had some major technical problems with their projector, and so they basically sucked. It was painful to watch.

That said, their schtick is kind of amusing when it's working. The robot drummer is projected on the back screen during the actual songs which seemed to make up only a tiny percent of their show, the rest being on-stage antics and lots of pre-filmed footage. Too much schtick and too little music for my tastes, but I'm sure they're a lot better when their pre-filmed portions aren't blinking in for one minute and then out for five.

Yeah, they mentioned that fiasco. They supposedly got some new equipment since then, so hopefully they'll be their normal kick ass selves. If not, Figrin D'an is the backup DJ.
