Mike Klauss and I have been talking today. We would like to have a GSC back and with a vengence...well, not vengence, but you will get the clue.
For the newbies, Game Show Convention is a group of friends going to a "home" and talking and more likely playing the home version of game shows. The meeting is a 3-5 days with special "phone-in" guests and special trips to real live game show events and other things.
First of all, are you interested in coming to the event next summer?
If so, which city is the most interesting in coming?
The choices are:
*New York City
*Los Angeles
*Las Vegas
*Your hometown
*Coast to Coast via Train
*Game Show Convention on the Sea
Which dates are the best you can make it?
*Late May
*Early June
*Late June
*Early July
*Late July
*Early August
Which games would you want to see?
I don't think that "100 Way to Lose a game show" will not make it.
Questions/comments?

I wish you guys would be doing it this year- been meaning to come out to one. But I like the idea.
My vote would be New York City in late June (I don't think you guys would wanna come to NJ).
-
I would vote for my hometown and whenever I can get time off from work.

I vote for my hometown (Chicago) and early June.

Geez, Charles. I post some pictures of my game room (in progress) and suddenly I'm hosting a GSC. I just said the idea crossed my mind earlier this week. This time next year, I will likely be deep into completing my master's, so time for hosting a GSC would be limited. My house isn't that large but I could possibly fit 10 for activities. I also have cats, so people with allergies would be out of luck.
It is an idea which has been untouched for at least 7 years and has proven to be successful every time, though we have had our fair share of characters over the years...

Just going on record, I'd prefer the small intimacy of a one-home convention to the convention center sized congresses. I'd just as soon fly into a hub for a weekend, visit the people there and go home Sunday evening. And I love kitty cats.

Late July or Early August, preferably somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic. These sound like fun.

Getting a large "Penthouse Room" at the local Residence Inn to host the GSC games is was also a nice "setting" for game playing...Until the Rice-A-Roni fights get out of hand. Surprised we didn't get kicked out of there or the restaurant where we played NTN Trivia.

My vote is for mid-to-late August in NY. I would LOVE to go.

I vote for D.C. in late June.

Anything that doesn't have the words "Minute to Win It" or "Identity" in it.
