Gencon. The years pass, but the thrill remains the same. As Wednesday evening falls, the stream of geeks and gamers becomes a rushing river. This year, Gencon had over 71,000 registered attendees. We descend upon the city, bringing a vibe and energy to the entire downtown that can only be cultivated when so many birds of a feather are flocking.
