Who's going to go to Gen-Con--the big gaming convention? The convention center is already looking nice. I went to the south area of downtown near the union station, and I've never seen so many people in D&D t-shirts in my life. I'm really excited to check it out.

Isn't the MotoGP supposed to be here soon as well?

I fit into the Gen-Con demographic, and would not be embarrased to admit I was going if I were, but I'm not.

Some of my friends are going.

I always love going downtown during Gen-Con though I'm not into the gaming they do so I don't go to the convention. I know several people that want to go.

And yes, the MotoGP is this weekend.

Nice photos. Most look like motorcycles on meridian. Either way, the city is expecting the last 4 days to bring in 152 million to the local economy. Sb brought 152 over ten days.

Peyback classic, gencon, fringefest, moto on mer. Plus the moto gp people makes for a highly diverse crowd.

Great photos. Thanks for sharing.

GenCon = Not even on a bet.
