I thought you'd already arrived and were considering another round trip to get your tickets and I was like "that is some serious Gen Con dedication".

I arrived. Will call line was long. We drank at six different bars. Came back to will call. Was short. Moral of the story: drinking improves everything. Who wants to drink Thursday and where...???

Don't be silly, just find and destroy their queens in single combat. The rest of the hive should disperse. (Bee Lives is really cute, thanks for the demo Nesbit37! Folks, not only does the game have beeples, it also has honey cubes. KS it!) So I had a fun, productive first day. Instead of watching as the Dork Tide swelled over the breakers and crashed the Nerd Sea into the dealer room (like I've done at past GenCons), I played Frostgrave with its author, helped out a friend/game demo guy carry stuff to his room, gave another friend a partial guided tour, hit the Venezuelan food truck, and scouted a couple local restaurants. And then napped. Good day. e.: The food truck was El Venezolano, for the record. Really tasty arepas, but get there early if you want any of their cheese sticks.

Thanks to you all that came to the bee lives booth and demoed and picked up bee pins! It was a crazy, non stop day which was great but exhausting. As for the other bee games, just huddle around them in a group, collectively high them, and shiver until you raise your body temps high enough to cook the designers to death. That's how real bees handle such problems.

I need suggestions on games and booths to look at tomorrow. Root, Reef and Expancity are on my very short list, I don't know what is good or bad. Bee game looked neat though! The real one.

Root is terrible, don't buy it. no seriously it's awesome but I'm scared it will sell out before I can get my copy. It's a strategy, you see.

Azul, Snow Time, and Master of Wills are faves so far. Tower of Madness is good but you can have some boring rounds

Having a good con so far. Currently in the corner of the open gaming area with a bunch of other drunk friends playing Gaslands. I highly recommend it.
