I&#8217;ve been meaning to blog since going to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.escapistexpo.com\/\">escapist expo<\/a> a few weeks ago, and I just keep running out of time, so this morning while I drink a cup of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beantraderscoffee.com\/\">favorite coffee<\/a>, I decided to start this blog entry.  <\/p>\n<p>So where do I begin?<\/p>\n<p>The Escapist Expo happened the same weekend as <a href=\"http:\/\/centerfest.durhamarts.org\/\">Durham&#8217;s Centerfest<\/a> celebration.  I had found out about the Escapist Expo on friday while listening to <a href=\"http:\/\/wunc.org\/programs\/tsot\/\">The State of Things<\/a> &#8211; and decided I had to go.  How could I not? Gaming, Games, and Geek Culture!!  It was a triple threat.  I went and got to hear a session from Chris Hazard &#8211; founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.achrongame.com\/site\/\">Hazardous Games<\/a>.  I&#8217;ve talked with Chris many times, including on both of my podcasts &#8211; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dogearnation.com\">Dogearnation<\/a> &#8211; now defunct, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gamesatwork.biz\">GamesAtWork.Biz<\/a> &#8211; the current podcast).  He has an amazing mind and thinks a lot of how to use time travel in simulation games.    I then spent time on the show floor, testing out new games, picking up some game inspired music, and watching all the really great cosplay people.  Amazing time, hate that I forgot to take pictures.  Oh, and I did take part of a team based geek trivia panel, there were 9 teams and we came in 4th.  Given that there was a bunch on console gaming (and I don&#8217;t do console gaming), I felt proud to place 4th!<\/p>\n<p>Since I didn&#8217;t take pictures.. I am linking to another <a href=\"http:\/\/bp61905.wordpress.com\/2012\/09\/16\/the-escapist-expo\/\">attendee&#8217;s blog<\/a> who took some great pics.<\/p>\n<p>More to come .. soon..
