Hey there, I might not be able to make it to GenCon this year as there is ABSOLUTELY ZERO available rooms in all of downtown Indianapolis this year. I've been going for 5 years and never had any trouble whatsoever in getting a room. However, wow, not this year though. My friend is possibly coming along, but not sure if there will be any rooms... oh well.  We'll see i suppose... Mike |

Have they already started taking reservations? Yep, back in the middle of February. I think rooms sold out faster this year because people were actually able to use the booking site with minimal hassle. It might be worth checking the GenCon forums, too, as there may be people who pull out and free up a room, or people who have a couch to spare. |

Check out the Airport Days Inn. The money you save getting the room you can use on a cab to get to the con. Get a few people and share the cab.

Check out the Airport Days Inn. Is that where Morf stayed? He didn't have any good stories about the hotel he was in. |

Yep same one. We were there last year as well. Everything was fine for us. It has a free hot breakfast in the morning and an bar to go to at night. The beds were fine and I slept great. But being in the military I guess my standards are lower than the normal person. If I am not getting shot at, mortared, and not next to a helo pad its good times. ;D

Well, I got a room at a airport hotel, so all is well  Anybody know how much cab fair is? Or I just might get a car, not sure... So I'll be there with my Americans. Of COURSE, I'll be partaking of a couple AE events there as well. My AE opponent is also coming along this year, and I'm sure he'll be playing too. But even if it's just for events, if it's not out already, I must play with the Tumbleweed when I'm there!! There'll be one there, right?  I want my 100 scalps!! Anyway, can't wait till August!! |

Glad you'll be there Mike! Cab far kinda blows - might be cheaper to get a rental. We took cabs last year and it wasn't very convenient or cheap. |

There is a city shuttle bus that runs from the airport to downtown. Might be cheaper to head to the airport and catch it into town than cab from there
