GameStorm 9, March 30 - April 1 at the Portland Airport Sheraton, will be featuring Reiner Knizia as its guest of honor this year.  There are several reasons why I'm excited to attend this year:

• Dr. Knizia will be there
• I will be running the Kniziathon
• This location should be substantially better than the Red Lion last year.  Our hotel room situation was a disaster last year, and I've already managed to book a nice room with 2 queen beds.
• The timing is nice, coming right on the end of spring break for the kids.  This will make it easy for Jacob and I to get there early on Friday and miss the often terrible cross-town traffic.
