boycotts work, people.
that said, I hope you locals have a great time :)

What gives guy?  You started the whole get-together dinner thread, and now you're boycotting a local game convention that was started by a teacher to prove what?

c'mon man.

It's one thing to stand up for what you believe in, and another to let it blind you. Yeah, come on Guy! There is still time.

Yes, and I certainly hope you feel "empowered" when you're sitting at home in Iowa boycotting a Milwaukee teacher and his teacher wife.

Guyjin, there aren't many folks that I feel deserve to be ignored, but you've made the list.  :(

Later.

Well said DHG

ESPECIALLY when it's (at least in part) run by TEACHERS...you know one of the MOST vocal opponents of the bill you're standing against.

As stated before these kind of boycotts HURT the very "middle class" that people are "protecting."  I don't see the hotel clerk, local gas station worker, or restaurant waiter being one of the "BIG $ corporate" types that you seem to have it in for.

P.S. That article was about NEW laws they were trying to enact..not the older ones already started.  Plus $15-150...that's a ridiculously HUGE range...playing with fuzzy #'s FAIL.

Ah well ...miss out on a good time that has NOTHING to do with unions/the contentious bill (well except the people that run the show :P).  Let me know how your dad's union feels about shitting on another union (that I'm sure they are supporting) during this time. ;)

I'm boycotting it because those sonofabitchin' Wisconsinites nectarsis and turbostar are going to be there.Or maybe because I can't get away from work.

Find a better excuse not to go, Guy.  Much like voting, your boycott means absolutely nothing, especially so now that the anti-union law has been killed by a judge (dredd).
