I'll offer an opinion, though I don't have particularly strong feelings about it.
I think the idea of a "Dave Arneson Game day" like we have been doing is a good one and worth promoting.
However, I think any attempt at an ArneCon is liable to stir up tribalism and the old us vs them crap.
You know, what might be a really cool thing though - and hopefully not devisive - would be a Twin Cities (Midwest Millatary Association?) old school convention. So something that celebrates all the early gamers there, including Barker and the Tekumel crowd and isn't focused on the Arneson name.
