Since I saw a post about the wildly popular convention Dragoncon, I figured I should mention Gateway (the relatively well-known game convention). It's going on this weekend at the LAX Hilton (in Los Angeles if you haven't figured). They'll be having an X-Wing tournament 10am on Saturday and dozens of folks will be milling about wanting to get into pickup games.

If you'll be in the area and want to stop in give it a look. Here's their link for more info.
