Upcoming Convention List - My OCD is mighty when I avoid other work

[Karmakaze]

I'm a terrible procrastinator. I really am. I've been avoiding the last-minute details for GenCon by making this keen convention list:

http://upcoming.org/group/2055

Tell me that's not cool. (It's not getting my any readier for GenCon, but you have to admit it's an impressively thorough list!) If anyone wants to abet my obsessive filing instinct, feel free to point out any significant cons I've missed. (I've been trying to run the feed through the google calendar (http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=5aq2lmn5c7rt3q63cach7c0uu8r9aee3%40impor t.calendar.google.com) to make it pretty - but there are still some quirks in the interface).

I somehow missed this when you first posted it - great listing!

A couple additions:

Bencon 2007, June 1-3 AFAIK
http://bengames.org/

Tacticon 2007, Aug 31 - Sep 2 AFAIK
http://www.denvergamers.com/tacticon/generalinfo.asp

Is it possible to add another column or something so it's easier to tell the gaming cons from the "media" and anime cons?

I wonder if it would be possible to make this into some sort of sticky, particularly for those cons that will be running any Hero games?

Added BenCon. Do we know where TactiCon 2007 will be held? The upcoming.org system requires an address for events.

I don't think that there's a way to add a column (it's upcoming.org's format). It is possible to tag events, though (the events tagged rpg, for example. are http://upcoming.org/tag/rpg/ ) - I suppose a consistent tagging structure could do something there...

I have no idea if anything's been decided or not, tho I can try to find out. But as a placeholder, they've been at the same hotel for a couple of years now and I'd say odds are good they'll be there again next year:

Four Points Sheraton Denver SE
6363 East Hampden Ave.
Denver, CO 80222
...or I suppose you could always just use the DGA's address:

Denver Gamers Association
P.O. Box 472664
Aurora, CO 80047-2664
Bencon is usually at the same hotel, or you could use the RMBGA address:

Rocky Mountain Benefit Gamers Association
P.O. Box 19232
Boulder, CO 80308-2232

Ah okay, wasn't sure how customizable it was.

Yeah, I noticed that the tags aren't always consistant; for example "gaming" in some places, "rpg" in others. Don't know how much control you have over that either, once other people have entered the event. Either way, thanks.

That's just me being inconsistent with the tags. Anyone with an account can add tags, as appropriate.

I went ahead and added Tacticon with the tentative information: http://upcoming.org/event/109047
