Cape is still about 7.5 hours away, doable and it looks like we'd go through St. Louis. Don't you guys do stuff in Mid-MO or St. Louis? :-p Where's E-Con? All I could find on a google search was stuff on Economics.
I wouldn't mind an RPG session. Hothie and I had fun with goofing playing that at C4 a bit (granted we did it so we could get the square base E-Webs, but still).
ECon or Egyptian Campaign is a convention that is held annually at the University of Southern Illinois at Carbondale. Carbondale is about 1 3/4 hours southeast of St. Louis. The area has a connection with Egypt (can't really explain that) so the mascot at the University is a Saluki, which is an Egyptian dog.
Anyway, some University activities group (don't know the name) runs the convention. I moved to the area about 3 years ago and began running the SW Minis events after finding out the guy who was to run the events the first year I attended did not show up. This coming April I was going to run events only on Saturday. However, if a significant group of players are to attend there is time to schedule other events for SW minis and RPG. In the past we have only had local players attend despite pretty good prize support.
So, at this point we have a constructed 200 pointer scheduled for 2pm Saturday afternoon and a Hoth battle at 10am that morning. Local turnout is usually 12-18 players. I can also make suggetions for local hotels as well.
Check my other ECon thread for additional information.
