It may still be true. The massive one downtown has a REALLY cool Tomb of the Unknowns inside, and the Medal of Honor stories in that memorial are interesting from a "Holy Fuck! How did someone actually do that?!" standpoint.<br /><br />That canal was a real, working canal. Indianapolis was the center of the canals, and then the center of the railroads, and then the center of the interstate system, and the center of the fiber optic system. That's why it exists, just like Byzantium, a crossroads. They eventually filled the canal in, and then dug it all out to build condo's on it.<br /><br />Indy is within a 6-8 hour drive of a huge prerentage of the US population. Essentially everyone west of Denver ... 80% or some such. Hence the convention town aspect.

I got to meet you at the booth and you were super nice (as was the rest of the crew). <br /><br />Gen Con can be a real beast - I've worked it for something like the last six years in a row and even I was surprised at how Zak kept his energy up. I was like "How do you do this?" And he just said, "Adrenaline."<br /><br />I just now realized I forgot to leave a tip at my hotel, so you are probably fine.Sean McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319575270937358180noreply@blogger.com
