Just curious who all is headed up to Acen from NWI? I've been going for several years and it's always nice to meet new people. Especially if those people live near you! I have a group of around 5-6 going and splitting a room at the Embassy. Hit me up if you are interested in chatting and maybe we can meet up and hang out at the con (or party it up like I'm sure my group will be doing).

I'm in Valparaiso.

If anyone is looking for decent photo locations, a good nature-y area is Chelburg Farm/Bailey Homestead up around Hobart.

I haven't lived in the area since 1987, but I used to live in Cedar Lake, does that count? ^^;

I'll be in the Artist Alley, so I won't be cosplaying*, but I will be very easy to locate since I'll be in one spot for most of the con!!

* well, I -might- be cosplaying. It depends completely on whether there's enough room among the plushies for me to bring costumes.
