I will not be able to make the 2007 and I was wondering is this something done on an annual basis

Taking into account Kevins statements about moving the location of Palladiums offices it seems in doubt.

:(


If i recall correctly he said there is a 75% chance of moving Palladium on or before 2008. I agree it is very unlikly.

Petrified wood just because we could.

While I do not think we will see the Open House in its current form next year, I believe that efforts are in the works to have a home coming type convention event about the same time next year in the Detroit area.

Of course, there is still that 25% chance...

Oh I agree that if that were the only option I would champion it. But it wouldn't be the same. The Open House is unlike any gaming convention, or any other convention for that matter, that I have ever been to.

:)


really? is it gonna rock?

Answer to question 1: Yes

Answer to question 2: Yes


It is really unlike other cons, and it will rock. It will rock majorly.
This isn't just a gaming get together surrounded by other gamers, it's in a gaming company headquarters, surrounded by boxes of books, banners from movies, framed original art, piles of gaming stuff, and best of all, the Palladium staffers!

I allready shelled out 300+ dollars for this, and owe Kid galactus two beers, (one because he says so and the other because Apollo updated his site before doomsday.) so this had better be worth it.

Awww, just the 300? :P

Hopefully everyone that goes to the OH enjoys themselves, but ultimately whether or not it's 'worth it' will depend on what you're expecting the OH to be.

Personally, I think it's worth considerably more than $300, otherwise I wouldn't be going back for more. :D


Agreed, most definitely!

Expectations rule all, but I think your expectations will be blown away :-)

Last year I think my final bill was over $2000, and I was completely satisfied. This year, I'm up to about $1200 so far (about half on tickets/lodging/transport, and half on preparation), and I'm wishing I had more to spend.

Personally, I'm guessing it'll be worth it just to see you and hippie_mama meet face to face :lol:

It rocketh harder than an indie-rock mosh pit. It rocketh mightily enough that every pantheon imagined gives it a begrudging nod of respect. It rocketh longer than the full versions of Free Bird and Stairway to Heaven put together. It rocketh... well.. you should get the picture.

Of course, I'm a tad biased. :D

It wouldn't be hard in my opinion. Sure, the admission might go up to cover the cost of a convention room at a hotel. However, it would probably be worth it just to keep this going. :D
