Gary Con
Gary Con is a gaming convention held in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin every year to celebrate the contributions of Gary Gygax to the gaming industry and to the local community, where Gygax was raised, and where the company he founded, TSR, Inc. created and produced the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' game for 25 years. The event held March 26-29, 2015 was the seventh Gary Con.
==History==
When ''Dungeons & Dragons'' co-creator Gary Gygax died in 2008, role playing gamers from around the world joined to honor Gygax's life with a virtual convention, held at locations around the world. Gygax's friends and family held an impromptu game event at Lake Geneva's American Legion Hall following his funeral on March 8, 2008, now known as "GaryCon 0".〔 By 2009, son Luke Gygax had established the first official GaryCon, still at the Legion Hall. "GaryCon I", held March 7, 2009, was attended by a number of gaming industry icons: Frank Mentzer, Tom Wham, Steve Chenault, and Jim Ward.〔 Daughter M. Elise Gygax-Cousino helped establish the initial event.
By 2010, the Legion Hall no longer had the capacity to host the growing event and its participants. As a result, the event was moved to a local lodge west of the town where it has been held ever since.〔 Convention organizer Luke Gygax told a local paper Gary Con was "...meant to be a more intimate event, reminiscent of the formative years of the gaming industry".
In 2015 word of the convention had spread far enough to earn multiple mentions in an episode of the television program, the Big Bang Theory.〔"SPOILERS: THE BIG BANG THEORY Mentions Gary Con", by "Morrus", Enworld, February 27, 2015, Archived at web|url=http://web.archive.org/web/20150327100409/http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?2387-SPOILERS-THE-BIG-BANG-THEORY-Mentions-Gary-Con〕
