Indiana Convention Center
Yes, there will be lots and lots of people—in fact, tens of thousands of them—hunched over tables of games you’ve
never heard of. But this year’s massive gaming convention also includes “Hamlet vs. MacBeth: the Shakespearean
SmackDown,” “Lloyd Kauffman Make Your Own Damn Movie Class,” featuring the head of Troma Entertainment,
and midnight screenings of “Tank Girl,” “Tron” and “Clerks.”
Also on the schedule: a talk by Wil Wheaton of “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “The Big Bang Theory,”
an all-weekend auction—including a portion on Saturday night where all proceeds benefit the Pajama Program for poor
children, an outrageous costume contest and much, much more.
