Wow, that's ironic since the last CC I went to had Walter K. as a gues as well! Sad to hear about the con's decline; though 3 video rooms are better than none at all which has been the case at the last several cons I've been too. Which is odd, since playing movies should be easier now than ever before.
I'll probably try for CC next year if time permits. Maybe some of the Gulf Coast old schoolers could help revive CC. Or perhaps your NO con when it gets going. Hey, maybe that's the name you could use; "NO-Con"!
I've heard that Arnesson is not very communicative when it comes to D&D topics; only to miniature wargaming. Glad to hear Lou Zocci is still attending and while JG's Tegel is my fave, his redone Tegel has some really neat concepts and room descripts in it.
