Three Rivers Con, Saturday, January 30, 2010

Hello Everyone,

Con Time! This is our formal announcement we have a new location and a date set for our next convention! Hampton Inn treated us great but we were outgrowing their room, so they recommended the next place for us! The new rooms are huge!

Our new location will be:

Best Western
420 N. Peters Road
Knoxville, TN 37922
Hotel Telephone [masked]
MAP To Best Western

What you can look forward to is two large rooms, 33 ft x 26 ft each, to be exact. There will be a tournament or two, the East TN Boardgamers will be joining us, a dealer or two, free tables, end of the night drawing(s), everyone's favorite closest swap area, DM's ready to showcase their systems, and, of course, free food and drinks.

We're taking the necessary next step in growing our convention to have room for more people while doing our best to keep the costs down. With this in mind, the entrance fee will be raised to $15, CASH ONLY at the door.

Also, please bring snacks and drinks for your fellow gamers. This has had great support the past few Cons and I know it will be the same for this one coming up. Please bring only store bought items.

Unlike last time, there will be a corner bar area where we will be selling homemade snacks, such as brownies, cupcakes, and other goodies. These will be sold at reasonable prices (~$1.50 or less each).

I'm taking DM reservations for this con and I've already had a couple people sign up already! We're going to have 6 scheduled tables so we're going to need 12 people to DM. I'm looking for mainstream games along with relative uncommon games. Send me a PM if you would like to DM a table for a session. I'll announce the list of games as we get closer to the event date.

We'll be announcing more details as the date gets closer so keep checking back here for more details.

As always, we're open to suggestions for your con!

Take care,
Kagan Clearwater

    Awesome for being iced in. Got two rounds of battletech in ergo it can't be bad.

    A really fun time. So many different gaming options to choose from. Organized well. A great turn out despite the weather. A comfortable atmosphere. Knoxgamers did an excellent job coordinating this convention.

    The snow, the ice, the sleet, the freezing rain....That did not stop a good fun atmosphere. As with the last meetup put on, this was still an outstanding event. The people were fantastic. There was a wide variety of gaming (board and tabletop). I want to thank East Tn Board Group for joining. That added another wonderful flavor to the event. Also Chainsaw Buffet did a live podcast. Does it get any better. What is not to like/love. Fun people, fun games, laughter, food. Everybody had deodorant on. +++ B
