Dear GenCon

As most of you know, my son and I made a road trip to GenCon this year and had quite a blast. We still laugh about the things we did and saw and have many favorite memories.

On the long way home in the car, I was thinking about the organization it took to put together. I was fortunate to be able to thank some of the main organizers on the last day after most people were gone and I was tracking down my lost credit card. There weren't even many of them left, but I did manage to express my appreciation to them as they scrambled to finalize things.

Which of course got me to thinking that few people take the time to write thank-yous these days. Even with the speed and ease of emails, how many of us actually peck out our thoughts on the keyboard and say "job well done, thank you".

So in that light I present to you a generic, Dear GenCon letter. To use it, simply cut and paste this letter into an email and check off the options that apply.

Dear Gencon,

It has been a few weeks since arriving home from GenCon 2008 and I thought I would drop you a line to tell you what an amazingly (□enjoyable; □boring; □weird) convention it was. There were so many (□costumes; □geeks; □tattoos) that I thought I was in (□a movie; □a chess club; □prison).

Out of all the exhibitors at the convention, I think that my hands-down favorite one was the (□Dundjinni/Dragon Roots; □Dundjinni/Dragon Roots; □Dundjinni/Dragon Roots) booth. The vendors in this booth were all (□handsome; □charming; □well informed). However, next year I think they should (□have a bigger booth; □have booth babes; □be right next to the front door).

Another booth that (□amazed me; □made me laugh; □freaked me out) was the gaming table at $1,000. This table was so (□detailed; □simple; □goofy) that I (□could make it myself; □need one for my home; □have started saving my gp to buy one).

What I didn’t see enough of at the GenCon was (□babes in chain mail; □babes in bikinis; □babes in small t-shirts). I would like to expressly thank you for is (□Ms Marvel; □the lady in fishnet stocking with leather boots up to here; □the three Princess Leia costumes I saw [well ok, two of them]).

One thing that completely shocked me was (□to find out that R2D2 was remote controlled and doesn’t have a mind of his own; □to see all the men in utility kilts; □the $4 price for a Coke)!

Again, I want to (□curse you; □thank you; □report you to the FDA) for holding GenCon 2008 and all the (□pleasure; □stomach cramps; □excitement) it gave me.

Yours (□sincerely; □regretfully; □in weirdness),

A GenCon attendee.
