Subj: AdeptiCon Announces Dates for AdeptiCon 2010



Greetings from the AdeptiCon Council!
It’s been almost three months since AdeptiCon 2009, the largest independent convention in the Games Workshop miniature wargaming hobby. Almost one thousand people attended AdeptiCon this last April and took part in the fun and excitement that has made AdeptiCon the standard for well-run miniature wargaming conventions.

Since April, we’ve been really excited about the direction that AdeptiCon is going, and we look forward to continuing our growth and expansion while living up to the excellence that has made AdeptiCon the “Can’t Miss” event of the year for hobbyists across the world.

Coming in March, 2010 – AdeptiCon 2010
Mark your calendars and start making your travel plans, because on March 26th-28th, AdeptiCon will return to the Chicagoland area! All the events that you know and love will be back, including our renown tournaments, demos, open gaming, hobby seminars, and the Rogue Demon competition.

In addition, stay tuned for more exciting announcements about AdeptiCon 2010.

Once again, the Westin Lombard Yorktown Center will host AdeptiCon, with great rates for all AdeptiCon attendees. Rooms will be available at the special AdeptiCon rate of $114 per night. This special group rate is only available to AdeptiCon attendees, and can be reserved through the link below:

And now…
…for something (almost) entirely not related to AdeptiCon 2010:

You may have noticed that crew over at the Bell of Lost Souls is putting together BOLSCon, on August 22-23rd. Several of us are planning to make the trip for what we think will the inaugural of a great event for years to come. If you can make it, we highly encourage you to attend and take part in the fun and excitement. Be sure to stop by and say hi!

You heard it here pie brothers it is time to fling pie.

Good to know which dates to block out. And Bolscon looks...

Wait...

You want people to come to Texas? In August?!?

Good luck with that.

But let's be honest, is there ever a good time to go visit Texas?

Texas could be fun.

Of course, I can't go... :( I'll be a wee bit busy around then. But a bunch of others from the Council are already planning on going.

I was thinking about going to BoLSCon, but I wrote about what I did not like about it here:
