Announcing DaveCon 2010
by Lansing Board Gamers!
While DaveCon 2009 was a huge success last year with over 65 gamers, DaveCon 2010 should be even bigger.
Where: Okemos Comfort Inn (formerly Holiday Inn) Conference Center, 2187 University Park Drive Okemos, MI 48864
From: I-96 exit 110, go North on Okemos Road, then after 1/4 mile, turn right on University Commerce Park - conference center
and hotel is on your right. If you want to spend the night, there is a block of rooms available for $89 - just mention Lansing Board Gamers (or that you're at a conference this weekend).
Note: There are two hotels there but our block is with the Comfort Inn ($89/night). Mention Lansing Board Gamers to get the special discounted rate. I highly recommend staying onsite. The hotels are a great bargain - very clean and a friendly staff.
What: Open Board Gaming (Rio Grande, Avalon Hill, Eagle, "German", Steve Jackson, Railroad, etc.), and Texas Hold-em (no gambling).
Board gaming tournaments are being organized. Pizza will be provided for sale at lunch and dinner times. Please bring your favorite games for yourself and for our game library! Visit the Yahoo Group.
When:
Saturday, September 11th (9:30AM to Midnight) and
Sunday, September 12th (10:30AM to 7pm)
***If you pre-register, you can also game on Friday night, starting at 7PM***
Who: Everyone with a good attitude is invited to register
How: Register Online! or volunteer (contact me to volunteer)
Prizes: Tons of prizes. We have over $400 in gift certificates at local vendors and, wow, the Lansing hobby shops have a nice selection of board games. Also, we get big donations from Metro Detroit Gamers for some great board games. Last year we had a number of big games.
Iron Man (or Woman) competition: Do you think you've got what it takes to be this years Iron Man/Woman??? There will be game sheets to track games played. All games count: demo's, tournaments and open gaming.
The person who plays the most games (really the person who plays the longest - length of game is tracked) will win a big gift certificate. Prize will be awarded Sunday, about 5PM. Past winners include Julie Hunt (2007), Alan Ray (2008), Carl Bussema & Lori Scheiss (2009). That's some pretty elite company. You could go down in history as 2010's winner.

Pizza will be offerred for sale. You may bring back other food for yourself (but not pizza).
