I caught some of the hints but a SST owner may have supplied the key.

Good luck.
May I ask if you have more space to consider hosting a home brew/retheme corner. Maybe see if p-roc or someone can sponcer it. I would like an opportunity to network with home brew guys being I decided to take the plunge.

I went to expo a couple years ago and enjoyed taking to the home brew guys. Seeing their foamboard mockup games were inspiring. I hope by MGC to have a em controlled non score white wood.

In summery of the summery of the summery....
People are the problem.

Oh crap. Miller park was actually built next to county stadium. That's a parking lot now. So maybe the parking lot photo IS the new location. Bring your RV and generator.

So I see an old school three button mouse. And a d Mario mushroom guy. Huh the cypher is rich here.
What's the symbol making the head of the mushroom mean?

It's my local brewery. I'm there every couple weeks. Can't get enough burban barrel stout.

If your up this way I'm happy to meet there for a brew.

I think I can solve the puzzle and would like to check. The geometry is my give away.
It was Dan with the Pen (mightier than the sword) at the ...

Are you going to Jefferson swap? Friday or Saturday?

For game bringers will we need a special pass to get to the losing not dock? Is there a charge for being up there? Also passes to get in and setup and help fix?

Yes and butbon barrel scotch ale. Delicious.
Can't bring my growler in to the after party this year though.

Dan your picture hints fits our bad pics from MGC thread.

Man I used to watch that show. Now I feel you find some ghost in the shell stuff. Let me know.

Noo this thread can't die that quickly.

Does the "shops at grand" have a decent food selection? Is this a mall like area?

Is street level walking possibile or do most recommend staying on the sky walks?

Do either of the hotels Hilton or Hyatt have any extra skill shots? Are hidden skill shots even worth it?

What's the SA password I need righ now?

I got my room reservation at the Hyatt. But was not asked about parking. Is this something that we pay for upon arrival? Are we going to have to argue the MGC rate?

What no hint pictures?

trilogybeer your not here.

When I toured the brewery was the day the reveled the tank fronts artistically places out front.
My fav was monkey wheat.

how about a video of the entrance and drive up to the loading dock. If I lived closer I would tape it.

Wow, my second year attending MGC and first seminar i saw was put on by some guy i didn't know, about buying your first game, what to bring etc. i was in the hobby for a bit but not full fledged like i am now. I even remember someone suggesting to bring locks and a drill.

You mention four manufacturers. Are you ready to announce who? I can guess three.

You forgot P3.
Go make me a pot pie!

Thanks for the videos. Helps explain things. Looks like this will be an epic year.

You have to go. I need to buy at least one thing from you every year!

Thanks Dan. I have a hand truck question.
In the past I brought one to aid in load and unload. Without any concern I would leave it in the open truck. Since the space is large and more open. It may look tacky with everyone storing them under their games. Will there be a place for game bringers to park a hand truck out of the main show floor.

Thanks

Howdy.
I have started a flee market thread for those who want to sell or trade some of the parts in your basement. You can arrange ahead of time. And meet at the show.

Ha. Me too my first years going we’re the last two at Olympia. Went solo at first and meet a lot of people. I remember the MGC site used to have past years pictures. I realized I wore the same shirt Saturday both years. A yellow ghost in the shell shirt. I’ll dig it up for this year.

Jack sent an email out yesterday. Still on the fence if he will be at MGC. Or may have a paid gig.

Hyatt parking question. I just called and they don’t have the special rate yet on their board. They stated they have two options.
Self park attached garage 28$ per 24 hours (3 days)
Or valet 31 per night (so oblympay for 2 days)

What option is the $18 a night supposed to be for?
Thanks

Last I spoke with the Hyatt they didn’t have the $18 a day parking. Has anyone spoke with them and confirmed this? Kind of wondering what my best bet is since I plan on leaving for toms party after setup and don’t want to pay twice.

Hyatt regency. They said on Monday no special rates for parking. I haven’t called since then though.

Just helped load one game out of my house.

Thanks for noticing Ben. First time out in the wild! It will be up and playable sat and sun.

Last minute of show.

On i39 north of portage mile 120 was when it got crappy for me.
Came home to this. A week ago this was grass.
This has been plowed twice.

Ghost in the shell clocked 356 plays over the weekend. I backed up the code right before I packed it into the car Thursday. So I had a previous number. To compare against.

Dan. I had a blast this year. Thanked you every time we crossed paths. Of course nicer weather would have helped with walking to more of the awesome restaurants in that area. There was a convience store a block away that had good prices.

If there is no new glass maybe I can throw a old sheet in the car. Doesn’t hurt and just toss it after the show if unused.

I saw the cement floor and bought new shoes Thursday before loading up my game. Feet held up well. Definitely a foot massage vender and insoles would make a killing.

Complaint time. I would have preferred a better quality sound system for the after party speech. I couldn’t hear it well and like hearing your stats and thoughts at that time. I learn about new or impressive acts and still get a chance to thank the people and enjoy their games.

I see the hints of not being able to do the show next year. I hope this isn’t the case. I already made a commitment to return with my game.
