Thread: Last Minute Origins Games Fair info...

    Default Last Minute Origins Games Fair info...

    Heya folks,

    I know that I have likely driven you crazy with my constant updates on our event sales in this thread. All I can say is that Origins is the Wings of Glory Aerodrome's Official Convention each year, and that a few of us get a little overexcited about it.

    I received a private message today asking for info on the convention itself, and pointing out the fact that other members might have similar questions. So, with only two weeks and fourteen(ish) hours 'till the convention starts, I give you the Origins Games Fair Website! Once there, you can find all the info you need on admission prices, a full spreadsheet of available events, hotel info, parking info, food info, etc... Online registration for both badges, and events are still open at this time.

    So if you are planning to come join us, know that Oberst Hajj, 7eat51, ling, CappyTom, Black Sheep One, Jager, Skafloc, Tommy Z, Redcoon2, milcoll73, BBSuds, Trench Wench, Skullduggery, Misdomingo, Chuck42, matt56, Bruce, and likely quite a few I have forgotten to mention will all be there... including me... and we look forward to meeting you!

    ... and don't forget to sign up for at least one or two Buckeye Gamer's in Flight Events on this list.

    Thanks for putting up with me and cya there!

    I had a fantastic time last year at Origins.

    I'm planning on being there, Ken - and I'm looking forward to seeing all the Ohio guys I've gamed with before, as well as meeting new folks/putting faces to Aerodrome aliases. Not sure exactly when, though, so that's why I haven't signed up for any games. At the very least I'll enjoy watching and kibbutzing....

    Looking forward to two weekends from now!
    All the best,
    Matt

    I will add my own good wishes to those already sent. Just edged with a tinge of sadness that I will be on the same continent but not with you in the flesh. I will however be with you in the spirit.

    We could organize "Operation Gin and Tonic", in which we organize a road crew and come and kidnap you! Just say the word sir!

    Good one Ken.
    I'm glad to see you're back on form. I have missed your jovial banter.
    One day we will get to meet in person my friend.

    Now that does sound serious.
    What do you get in the States for kidnapping an Allied Powers Wing Commander and his wife?

    Well, the usual ransom is a good steak dinner, and dessert.
    Oh, you mean the authorities.......we'll just call it a liberation

    LMAO! I apologize... I misspoke. it is 540 miles from Columbus to Yorktown... about 15-16 hours roundtrip if we put the pedal to the metal! I wonder if there is a bus or train that runs that route??? The U.S. needs Bullet Trains!!

    While we're asking for them, we might as well ask for Jensen Gates

    Well I will feel a lot safer in my bed now, knowing that you are all 540 miles away. That's about the whole length of England.

    They could try a ransom of $50,000. Then if they don't pay it we won't take you back

    Wait, you will be in Yorktown, VA? The VA/MD contingent may converge on you and have a mini-con!

    One of these days I need to get to Origins.

    Mrs Kyte has decreed that we are doing the tourist thing. Yorktown for the Hermione, Jamestown and Williamsburg for the history only. Not even "on to Richmond."

    I will be there from Wed morning to Sat evening; my first Con of any kind. My brother and a long-time gamer friend said if I didn't attend at least one "Origins" I might not be allowed in to the better parts of Heaven.
    I have signed-up for several WoG WW1 games and look forward to meeting Col. Hajj and many of the other big names (on this side of the Atlantic) in our Aerodrome and WoG "universe" ... and, of course, Ken "The Cowman".
    This evening I'm processing Turn 7 of a 12-15 Turn PBeM game that I'm running ... 24x late 1916 AC, 4x balloons, 12x AA MG entrenchments ... I'm in need of a little play-time for myself.
    See ya there lads and lasses.

    We will take care of you Bruce. Drop me a PM and let me know where you are staying... I'll send you back my cell number so you can reach me if you questions once you get to the con.
