Back from Rock Con and I must say that Rock Con has been my best convention experience this year. Very friendly folks, and the convention organizers went way beyond the call of duty. Hats off to the Rock Con staff!

I finally got to meet some of my “online” friends. Folks such as Mark Severin – Scale Creep Miniatures and the Deep Fried Happy Mice website . A nice fellow online as well as in person. Good to finally meet him face-to-face.

Another group of folks are members of the Old School Wargamers (OSW) group on Yahoo. I was pleased to meet group founder, Patrick Lewis and his wife Linda. Other OSW members in attendance were Bill Protz and Jim Purky. Bill and Jim put on a fine SYW game in the Old School style, more about this in another post… I am looking forward to seeing (and wargaming) these fine people again at conventions or perhaps at one of our homes.

While on the subject of Old School Wargamers, if you have a passion for the older styles of figures and wargame rule, you should check out the group on Yahoo: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/old_school_wargaming/

To borrow, from Patrick’s writing on the groups home page – “Are your wargaming figures older than your children? Do you still hold H. G. Wells, Featherstone, Scruby, Grant, Young, Morschauser, Wise et al. in high regard? If so, then this is the place for you!”

The group is populated with some of the nicest folks you will find anywhere!

Well, that’s all for now.
