GoonCon is the annual international meeting of SA forum members (or "goons"). Usually held on a weekend in mid-July, the event involves goons meeting from all over the USA, Canada and even Europe. Massive Drinking, Partying, Debachery and even a little Drama awaits an attendee.
It was fun. There weren't any administrators or anything there, but the people that put it on were awesome and the people that showed up were cool.
There was only one big meeting the first day because the hotel was going to charge them way too much to use the banquet room for two nights. They also didn't let them do any catering so we got to eat cookies and chips and drink lemonade that cost way more than a buffet would have.
Check out the GoonCon discussion forum and you can get an idea what went down. On Saturday, we split from the bigger groups, went to an awesome pizza joint, checked the greatest blues bar in the world, and went to a dive bar to drink cheaply for the rest of the night.
Dude. They have bars that don't close until 4am. 5am on Saturdays. It's fucking crazy.
