[Deptheads] Guest of Honor/Special Guests for Gamex

[Eric Burgess]

Off the full list, I brought up trying to match roughly what we did last
year with Jay and Rio Grande with Zev and Z-Man games for Gamex.

The timing is right - just after his late April/Early May release of
Agricola, the hottest eurogame to come out in a couple of years. I could see
big Agricola events with play of the advanced and family versions of the
game.

That could even be potentially coupled with Jason Matthews since Zev
published 1960 (and perhaps GMT would be willing to kick something in? We
could do a Twilight Struggle event, too). Jason is a former LA resident (and
Strategicon attendee some sixteen years ago) and he'd like to come out
(although the late request might make it impossible).

Simon Hunt is another Z-Man designer (Take Stock, Pick N Pack) who lives in
California who might be willing to come down. Not a big draw but he could
drive down and share a room with Zev (they often do) and the cost would just
be a badge and maybe a meal or two. I think Matt Leacock (also a Z-Man
designer whose Pandemic is really hot right now) is also a California guy
but he's near the Bay Area so he may be going to Kubla.

Aldrich has already said this sounds reasonable and I've offhandedly
suggested it to Zev in the past and he was open to it with a similar deal
like we did with Jay (airfare, room, board).

What do we think?
