Oh snap! He's flying!

Little geeks in a big pond

Last month my brother-in-law George and I attended GenCon Indy. Check out some of what we saw on my
GenCon flickr set.

George and I mainly went to participate in a couple of Warmachine tournaments. We had fun and it was interesting to see a convention that is entirely geared towards gaming. There were booths by all the major roleplaying/card/miniature companies and some were selling pre-release items.

There weren't as many costumed folks as say Dragon Con, but there was just as much gamer funk.

Biggest caterpillar in North America, I'll say. This guy graced a tiny tree next to my driveway. One quiet morning I could have sworn I heard him chomping on that leaf.

I may have sentenced him to an early death by pointing him out to my neighbors. The next day I saw him on a bush next to his favorite "eatin' tree." The day after that he was nowhere to be found.
