Calling @Viktor Tanek , @dominosfleet , @Paindemic7708 , @Daht and any one else coming to Gencon....
Looking at this map I would like to suggest Jack's donuts for the armada breakfast before Gencon. Its reasonably close and should be an easy walk to the convention center. I would suggest meeting from 8 with an aim to leave to get to the convention center around 9.30am to get take a look around and register for the event in plenty of time. Thoughts suggestions of other times and resturants that will be open are appreciated.
(Now I have to tell the girlfriend she has to get up early on the first day of our vacation to drive me across Indy to meet people I met on the internet
