It's been a long while since I attended a role playing conference, but I have fond memories of GenCon - which is why I find this a bit sad:
SEATTLE (February 15, 2008) Gen Con LLC announced today that it has filed for Chapter 11 protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the State of Washington. This action became necessary as a result of significant unforeseen expenses associated with attempts to expand its core business to encompass externally licensed events. Gen Conâs flagship show, Gen Con Indy, remains a vibrant, profitable event. Gen Con Indy will take place as scheduled August 14â17, 2008, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Supposedly, the show will go on - but bankruptcy is never a good thing.
