I was thinking about doing a showing in my room of some Anime music videos I have archived on my computer, if anyone wants to watch. Suggestions for other things to do are welcome. I could bring some board games or my PS2 and DDR... But I only have the one pad and some hotels don't allow you to hook video games up. AJ?
Also, I was planning on bringing a few issues of Shonen Jump, if anyone wanted to read them.

I am definitely bring my dance pads (one pretty good, one decent), all my DDR games, and my PSX. I think someone said they would be bringing a PS2.
I will be getting my Firefly DVDs back from Vana and Lime (sorry, can't do the accent from this keyboard, Vana!) and I have missed the sorely, so I was planning on watching some, whether it is in a group or by myself.
Various game playing is a must. Am not sure which games I will bring, yet.

I was toying with the idea of bringing art supplies and drawing portraits if anyone's interested. With the forewarning, of course, that my portraits are very hit-and-miss in quality. Sometimes they're great, sometimes you say "who is that?" And if we have any other artists, they're welcome to upstage me. Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

I draw! I draw!!! But myartmostlylookslikethis.... So people might not be interested. Also, I'm not too great at 'portraits' either. Annie's a real artist, I am a hack.

I'm not going to have a lot of luggage space, being a busrider, but if anyone wants to bring Trivial Pursuit, I won't complain too loudly Posts: 8504 | Registered: Aug 1999

I think the 1981 Genus is the most pure, (and I have not memorized the answers!) because it predates the asinine multiple choice statistics question.
If you want to beat me, bring the 20th Anniversary edition.

Hey, I might actually have a challenge at Trivial Pursuit? My inlaws usually have to play teams against me by myself. Posts: 5422 | Registered: Dec 2001

The good old HatChat Trivial Pursuit days were fun, but there are a lot of you I never got a chance to go up against. Morbo was my most worthy rival.

I'd like to suggest combining the 1981 and 2000 (or something like 2000...) editions of Trivial Pursuit. I hate the arts and entertainment and sports questions from the 1981 edition. Mainly because I wasn't born then. Actually, I sort of like ALL the questions from the 2000 edition better... Except the 1981 edition has geography. The rest of my family prefers 1981. I don't really have anything interesting I could bring. Unless people want to watch Deep Space Nine or Futurama on DVD.

I guess I'm the one bringing a(?) PS2? I don't remember anyone else volunteering theirs, but I wonder if we need another one or two (I doubt it, but you never know, could be the most popular thing there ). I could also bring the Millenium eddition of Trivial Pursuit. Never been used.

okay - check, I'm brining the 1981 Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit, and the 20th Anniversary edition. My kids don't like the 1981 edition because so much (especially entertainment) is way before their time. Then again, they usually choose it over the 20th anniversary edition -- which I think just has some questions they think are "dumb".
And my junior edition doesn't get played any more, because they outgrew it and knew all the answers...
Unfortunately, our household undisputed champ is not going with us to KamaCon, so you will have to play with us lesser people...

Today I picked up Travel Boggle and the nice wood Scrabble (yes, I know other people are bringing Scrabble, but you can't have too much Scrabble!) to bring along. I also have Mille Bournes and . . . uh, I have other stuff, but the closet with games is currently a couple miles away. I'll refresh my memory later.
I want a good part in Eye of Argon!

I've got 'em printed. But I think a LaserJet would be an EXCELLENT idea, since I can imagine a number of things people would like to print if given the opportunity.
(That said, there ARE no parts in The Eye of Argon. It's a story, not a play -- and the reading is competitive. Basically, it's a game of hot potato; you go around the circle reading from the story, passing it on every time you laugh -- and the person who finishes the last line wins.)

Christy and I love Cranium, ElJay. Do you have the expansion? (If not, we can bring it.)

Just a word for the people who have plans on watching DVDs and such from their room. You won't be able to use the hotel TVs. Hotel TVs purposefully don't allow you to plug in VCRs or any other similar device. Their movie system shows stuff not available on DVD/Tape, so the TVs have no way of plugging anything into them. The idea is that Hollywood doesn't want the movies on tape in any shape or form. If the hotel allows VCRs, they can be sued.
Just a heads up.
Some more expensive hotels (sorry, Holiday Inn isn't in this category) have DVD players in the room and DVDs available for rent from the front desk because you can't record on a DVD player.
So, don't expect to be able to use the in-room TV. The hotel may have a TV that you can use in the hospitality room, but they probably only have one or two and they won't let you take it into a guest room.
Oh, and you'll notice a Coax cable on the back of the TV and be heartened. Don't. It has a security nut on it that requires a special key to remove. Also, if you do happen to be able to remove it, the TV has a special card in it that will only allow it to display what the movie/cable system displays.
This stuff is high-tech and well planned out. Lodgenet, one of the major providers of this technology, is seriously dedicated to screwing you out of messing with their equipment. You don't want to get sued. Trust me on this one. They have major film studios and production companies with high-priced lawers on their back. You don't want that kind of trouble.

Sorry to spoil the fun, but I work for a hotel and have to deal with this crap all the time, and didn't want to see you guys drag your stuff all over the country only to be disappointed.

BannaOJ, yeah. Some hotels offer WebTV service. However, expect to pay ten bucks an hour to use it.
I don't doubt that the hotel has a TV for you to use (we do and we don't even have a conference room) that will allow you to plug all sorts of stuff into it. Most likely the hospitality room is just a guest room that they're giving to you for an extremely discounted price (typically a suite). So there will be a TV in it, but the TV already in the suite will be the kind I've described. You'll have to get a different TV for the fun and games you've described.
