This will be my first year at GAMA and I was wondering who out there will also be attending.

I think it would be great for all the smaller presses to get together and talk. Id love to meet all of you and maybe trade some product (best way to increase my rpg collection for cheap)

Also there are tons of other vices in the city to take part of. Since I live here its pretty much old hat and I look forward to meeting some of the people who post here.

I'll be there.

Adamant Entertainment isn't exhibiting this year (no point...UnderWorld is sold out, UW2 isn't due until Fall, and Skull & Bones is going to be coming out from someone else), but T.S. Luikart and myself are attending, pressing the flesh, schmoozing, networking, etc.

I'm also there to pimp myself for freelance work, and to attend scheduled meetings with about a dozen current and prospective clients for my publishers-consultancy work.

Jerry,

Misguided will be exhibiting this year for the first time. We're in the "small hall" Booth #2204, next to Games Workshop. Please do come by and see me, I'd love to chat. Wednesday or Thursday will probably be slower, and thus a better time.

Okay - you know what I'm going to say, but I have to say it - anyone want to give write the 'report from GAMA Trade Show' article for Fandomlife.net? What it's about, the event itself, etc...

I know, I'm a relentless whore when it comes to this shit, but what the hell.

Hi,

Allan and I will be there, walking around. I'm volunteer staff for GAMA and Allan is there on his own dime.

We're also planning on going to the Rick Thomas illusion/magic show at 3:30 Monday at the Tropicana (Allan, me and David Millians, plus a mystery 4th guest), and Showgirls of Magic at 10:30pm Tuesday night.

Anyone else who likes magic is welcome to join us, just email me (sandy@rpg.net) for ticket info. We picked the cheaper shows (i.e. no $100 Siegfriend and Roy) that were well reviewed because we're poor, but classy.

The GPA Board will be there and will announce a mealtime when anyone can come by and talk about publishing with us/each other/the waiters.

See you there, I hope!

about 12 miles across town. Its one of the only perks I get for wanting to go to this con. I dont have to pay for room and board, except for a mortgage. Shipping my goods to the con will be a breeze. ;)

Nicole, Hal, and I will be at GTS for Green Ronin. We've got lots of new stuff to show off, including the Freeport hardback and galleys for our April releases (Shaman's Handbook and Armies of the Abyss). We're co-sponsoring a brunch for distributors and retailers Wednesday morning and we'll be making some exciting announcements there.

See you in Vegas.

I'll be there, with the XIG Games crew, at booth #912. I'm going to sing the praises of Starchildren: Velvet Generation, which debuts this August. It'll be a relaxing break from my usual work, which is going on to forums and dropping the game's name at every possible opportunity.

Starchildren!

Sorry. Habit.

I'm also there to visit some insightful seminars, meet fellow small-pressers and, hopefully, to be pimped at by Gareth-Michael Skarka for the very first time, ever.

:D

Ah pitty da fool who said:

I'm all in favor of setting aside some time for a loose coalition of just-starting small press publishers to get together.

How's Wednesday at 4 PM?

I suggest you'all come Tuesday, 6pm (during one of the Buyer's dinners), as that is when the GPA is having their informal get-together and, hey, the GPA is all about the small press scene.

If you're not a GPA member, that's fine-- it's really a networking and fun talking opportunity.

We'll likely be meeting at the top of the escalators that lead to the Con area, and will leave a note saying where we went (for late arrivals). It's a 95% chance we'll just be going down to the buffet place on the 1st floor of the Orleans, if people want to peek there for us.

See you there!

Tuesday? I thought the gpa was getting together on thursday.
Sandy help me out there, please.

Anyway 4 pm is bad because the exhibit hall will be open. That counts me out.
