I shall enquire again.

I'm probably game (get it?) for 24 hours of various LEGO events --
organizing/playing/running/helping/whatever.

Sure, but he won't come. Gen Con already told me that they won't cover his
room (and he expects travel, room and board to be covered). I expect he won't
be at the con at all. SJG doesn't do their own booth anymore, it's farmed out
to an organization that handles product from threeish companies.

I agree. Do any of us know them particularly, or should I just email Jake?
A session of K8-based Brik Wars for kids would be cool. In that same note from
the Gen Con lady, she mentioned doing a kid's track of events. Also, I'll have
at least one kid (the baby, Kivi -- and a wife to help care for her), and I'm
thinking of bringing the almost nine year old for his first con.
