Upcoming events

There's some upcoming events around my neck of the woods I'd like to mention.

Guns of August 8-13-05: Run by the Big Muddy Historical Gaming Alliance, Guns of August is a single-day gaming event held in the St. Louis area. Word has it they have about 20 events for the day. The moto is anything miniatures or historical.

Fall Recruits 8-26 & 27-05: Recruits is run by the Lee's Summit High School Organization of Strategic Gamers. LSHS is my alma mater and I could have only dreamed of such an event when I was a student there. I went to Spring Recruits this past year and had a great time. The objective is to increase the visibility of the hobby ot the younger audience. They draw youthful attendees from across the KC Metro area. It's a good thing. Kudos to Duane and Laura Fleck for making it happen. Double kudos to them for also being high school teachers. We need more teachers like them. Admission is $3 and is nice at twice the price.

I-Con 9-9, 10 & 11-05: A new venue for I-Con in Springfield, IL means more space and better on-site concessions. I'm looking forward to attending this year. I'll be running a couple of sessions of Fragapalooza, a first-person shooter miniatures game. Also, Paul Hassebrock, I-Con organizer and all-around cool guy also owns Mecca Anime, a repository of all things cool and Japanese. You will buy the Pocky.
