I'm writing a personal essay about GenCon. (Yeah, I'm a dork, but it's the thing I can write the most about the fastest.) Does anyone know the suite number?

Yay, I wrote 4 essays today (2 chapters)!

Club Jade folks, for the shirt making at Con, we're supposed to print out the iron-ons ahead of time, yes? What do we print them out on?
