So, it looks like Gen-Con: West (otherwise known as “Gen-Con: Matt’s House”) will be held here in Southern California, not more than a half hour drive from where I live, not 5 minutes from where Speaks-With-Diaphram makes his residence.
As it turns out, the dates are December 10-14.
My birthday is December 10th.
“Gen-Con: John’s Birthday.”
Happy birthday to me!
