Frank-Con 2009

My husband and I went out to Thai last night and while we were talking some how the subject of Frank running a Frank-Con at our place (we expect some gaming guests the weekend after next). Then it occurred to me that we’ve already run a Frank-Con!
When everyone visited us to go to the Shrine for Hatsumode, one could argue that was a Frank Con!
Hatsumode Weekend (186)Hatsumode Weekend (187)
Evidence:
  1. There was a Role-playing room…our dinning room
  2. There was a CCG room…Justin and Robin in the living room
  3. There was a costuming workshop: I dressed the girls up in kimono
  4. There was also a Japanese cooking workshop
  5. Nicky and I had a costuming panel
  6. There was a planned excursion that could inspire fantasy books and art
  7. We carpooled to vendors—both gaming and Japanese items.
  8. Some of us attended a party with famous pillars of the gaming community—at the Grubb’s. (Covers the celebrity requirement)
  9. It ran for several days and over a weekend
  10. Many new board games were introduced
:) What do you think? Am I right or am I right?
(For my family, who are not gamers, a con is short for convention. It’s the practice for most gaming conventions to come up with a snappy name that includes “Con” like “Rad Con” in the Tri-cities or “Spo-Con” in Spokane.)
