Because the postcard came out late, the deadline was extended to January 9th. Hope this helps, Mike Miller Webmaster, Con of the North 2010 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:19:49 GMT Rachel Kronick http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/518 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/518 I just received a postcard stating that the pre-reg deadline is January 9th, but the website says it's January 2nd. Can you explain? If I've already missed it, Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:36:33 GMT Michael Miller http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/517 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/517 Happy New Year!

Of course I am speaking of MN seeing as a majority of the people who attend the con are from MN. I can also say for friends Fri, 18 Dec 2009 18:17:33 GMT Jim Beecher http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/512 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/512 Con of the North originally chose its February date (President's Day weekend) for a few reasons. First off, the middle of winter after the holidays is an Fri, 18 Dec 2009 11:53:10 GMT jddunn31 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/511 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/511 Just because you work outside in one spot do not assume you know what the weather has been like between Sioux City and Minneapolis. I can assure you we have Thu, 17 Dec 2009 00:20:00 GMT JEFF ROTHECKER http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/510 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/510 Con of the North has been held in February pretty much from its first year. Now over 10yrs later it is still going strong, so I don't see that the month it is Wed, 16 Dec 2009 23:00:49 GMT Jeff Sorensen http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/509 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/509 I would have to echo Josh's feelings. Having a gaming convention in February in Minnesota seems, in general, a bit risky.  It is unfortunate for those of us Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:31:04 GMT jddunn31 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/508 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/508 acually I wish the Con wasn't in febuary at all. There has been bad weather every year for the last 6 for driving up from iowa. moving to april may would be Wed, 16 Dec 2009 21:28:47 GMT jddunn31 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/507 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/507 While i do enjoy watching the super bowl, missing it is not the reason for my disappointment that the con was scheduled for the same weekend. Its the simple Sun, 13 Dec 2009 19:52:50 GMT Roger Belfay http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/506 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/506 I usualy don't enter into this kind of fray either, but the "big game" isn't until Sunday evening, well into the end game of the Con.  If you are staying at Sun, 13 Dec 2009 18:34:07 GMT arndtt74 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/505 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConoftheNorth/message/505 Dear Josh, Your question seems to imply that there is a question in your mind about which activity would be more fun: 1.) Getting together with your friends
