I have no intention of going to 6 because I just don't like Vegas! Who do I talk to to try to get a TAM here in New Orleans? Vegas got NOTHIN' on us!

I've been a gamer going on 25 years now, and I can remember when he helped debunk all that "D&D is a Tool of the Devil" crap back in the 80s. I've had the good fortune to meet him at many of the local gaming conventions and he's always made an effort to visit my friends and myself when he wasn't doing his talk or book signings. As for TAM 5.5, I will not be able to attend, and TAM 6 is bit more of a pipe dream than reality, but I am pinching pennies for TAM 7 (or a TAM 6.5 if that occurs).

I really can't justify (to myself) the additional cost for what's essentially a one day event on the opposite coast from me. Looks like it'll be a fun time though.
