Okay below is a copy f the email I got from UCON, so I am trying to help them out since I am stuck at Ft. Hood, and won't be able to make this year:
Greetings Gamers!
We are gearing up for another U-Con but we need YOUR events to make this convention a success. Please visit our website to submit your events.
Here are the dates you need to know:
- Friday, August 31, 11:59pm - Event submission deadline (for pre-reg listing)
- Friday, September 7 - Events schedule available online
We are pleased to announce that Loren Wiseman will join us as guest of honor. He is a founding partner of Game Designers' Workshop and his professional credits include Traveller. Thus, we are looking for GMs interested in running Traveller (or GURPS Traveller) - contact us at <events@ucon-gaming.org> as we'll waive your GM deposit.
Finally, we need your help to spread the word about U-Con. Please let your friends know about us, and you can use one of our new fliers to do it. First, we have a flier for our gamemasters who run games at other conventions - a great way to advertise your events at U-Con. Second we have another flier for anywhere. Please consider downloading a flier and letting everyone know that you enjoy your time at U-Con.
We look forward to seeing you in November!
U-Con Staff

So that is the email. Hope some of you can make it.

Well I made it on Saturday only. They had one game only, run by Commando Hedgehog. It was a sort of Matrial Olypiad. Each session was only an hour. Not my style but I played. Friday and Sunday had 2 sessions each more my style.
I took a Jenner F and a Steiner Tbolt. Old 3025. I was third out of 4. Problem was first game. Round 2, my Tbolt was head shot. Well it was the second LPL to the head. Then Jenner got crippled fighting against a Tempest and PPC verison Hussar. Second round was 2 Scarabuses. They killed by Jenner by chopping of the head. I killed one and crippled the other. Final game was Locust and Sagitaire. I whacked the Locust quick. The Sagitare would not die. And I mean he was flopping on the ground missing an arm, holes in all but one leg, overheating but not shutting down. I crippled him. But he crippled my T-bolt. If that did not happen I would have taken second. My flamer did mess up my enemies in two games.
But I had a good time. That is all that is important.
AWAD- I hate head shots early
