    I wouldn't call Geocon "heavily subsidized" by the school. We get $300 from them for ALL Gaming guild activities. The $300 we got covered Friday's Hosility (Hospitality). A lot of the con is subsidized by the Hostility can, and out-of-pocket from the concom (I should know, I was on concom for #5, and will be on it for this one).

    However, this little con DOES boast great Hostility (REAL FOOD like pancakes, chili, baked potatoes, and pasta!), and the BEST video rooms, especially if you like hard-to-get Japanese or American animation, or REALLY corny movies.

    Also, seeing as how I'm in charge of panels for this, send suggestions. If you were at Geocon 5, please tell me what worked and what didn't so I can pass it on to Tony and Todd, the con's "Gods."

    Thanks!
