Stephen Gabriel has run Lego Pirate Wars at GenCon several times and it
would be nothing to run continuous Lego events in the miniatures room. There
is always open space and tables in the minis hall. As far as seminar times
and space, I am sure there is enough room to hold  those events. You fill
out an events registration and turn in it in the the GenCon staff.

I was specifically refering to a relationship in which a LEGO gaming area was
set aside for the whole con and games were kept running in all 14 timeslots.  I
know I could just register as a judge and run anything (I've done it many
times), but that's well below the threshold of activity that I was interested
in.  Three four-hour pirate games and two brickwars events aren't going to draw
people to GenCon who wouldn't normally go for the games.  But an entire
schedule of four days of LEGO gaming might.  At least, that was my speculation.

By the way, I have in years past posted notes wondering who'd be at Gen Con.  I
wonder if an AFOL get-together is worth while?
