I spent a whole con 2015 driving in and parking at the stadium. Flat rate for the whole day, tons of space. Once you go skyway, however, you can never go back.

I miss you, KarKrew.

They have a shuttle but also just uber or taxi in, parking is like $20 a day and renting a car is going to be way more expensive than just using uber which is hella convenient and let's you drink.

Parking in the stadium is significantly cheaper than $20.

Just know as punishment you have to introduce yourself to every goon you meet as the guy/gal that was born lucky so we can all get our turn telling you to gently caress off and damning you to Catholic Hell.

I have a badge purchase question: This year, I'm only able to attend on Sunday, but I don't see the option for a Sunday badge. Instead, I can buy a "Family Fun Package," which lets me buy 4 badges for just $45 (total, not each). Am I understanding that correctly? Are the badges restricted to parents and kids, or can it be, as in this case, for me and my girlfriend? Are these badges otherwise the same as a normal 1-day or 4-day badge?

To be honest I'm amazed they even charge for the Sunday badges. Most everything is done, and over and everyone is pretty much packing up to go home. That price seems reasonable, and 8-under are free so yeah, you should be fine.

NSDM is pretty awful imho. We had a poo poo load of goons in one a couple of years ago and had people walking out halfway through. The moderators where unhelpful at best, assholes at worst which added to the poo poo experience.

It didn't help that we were literal agents of chaos being goony idiots trying to break poo poo.
...although to be fair we (USSR) did both fake and successfully BEAT the Americans to the moon. It helped that John Glen died early. TOTALLY NOT US

FFG just announced they are adding more tickets for the L5R event. 2nd Chance!

Besides L5R and weird rear end small publisher boardgames that look awesome that I never heard of (Looking at you, best purchase of GenCon 2016 Council of Blackthorn) I'm pretty much only going to buy niche exclusives and RPG books that are cheaper buying in person than online thanks to shipping. poo poo no FLGS near me would ever carry. Standing in line for FFG 2 years in a row has learned me good.

Can I come to shots Friday or shots Saturday? Wednesday is family time, because they live in IN, and they are my excuse for taking off work to go to GenCon.

Also, any one interested in the late night events? Nerlesque or Cosplay Deviants? Seems both weird and overpriced for nerdy horndogs, but nevertheless entertaining perhaps.

Someone please give me an L5R ticket :(

So funny story about Cosplay Deviants...

If you were in the GroupMe I'm sure you'd find out quickly about Cosplay Deviants

At this point I think everything is basically sold out, going to have to figure out my parking when I get there

I spent the whole con 2015 driving in and parking at the stadium. Flat rate for the whole day, tons of space.

Edit: it doesn't show on parkwiz, but http://www.downtownindy.org/get-around-downtown/park/?&lm=vd shows that it's 5 bucks a day to park there. I imagine for the event it is more like 15? but that's hard to beat.
