Dealers:
We still have dealer space available. All dealers must contact Chris

to establish or confirm their table space.

The Convention Site:
The Hendrix Student Center has more than 3700 sq ft of convention space 
with the best lighting youve ever seen at a convention. There is a food 
court, cafe, university bookstore, ATM, and a convenience store located 
in 
the same building as the convention.

Lodging:
There are a number of good places to stay in Clemson within two miles 
of 
the convention site. All are on Rt 123 at or near the intersection with 
Rt 
76 (Rt 76 takes you from I-85 to Clemson).  There will be several 
events on 
campus that weekend (sports, etc.), so we urge you to make hotel 
reservations early.

Comfort Inn, 864 653-3600
Hampton Inn (1-800-HAMPTON or 864 653-7744)
Ramada Inn (864 654-7501)
Days Inn (1-800-329-7466 or 864 653-4411)
Sleep Inn (864 653-6000)
Lake Hartwell Inn (654-4450, formerly the Holiday Inn)

Directions:
Clemson is located off I-85 midway between Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, 
NC.  It is about 2 hours from either of those cities.  To get to the 
Hendrix Student Center, take I-85 (North or South) to exit #19B 
(Hwy.76/28 
west). Exit toward Clemson. Follow Hwy. 76 West for approximately 12 
miles 
until you see a National Guard Armory and an Army Reserve center on the 
right.  At the reserve center take a left at the traffic light onto 
Perimeter Road. (If you go under Rt 93 you have missed the turn.) Take 
the 
first right onto McMillan Road and you will pass a fire station to your 
left.  After about a quarter mile the student center will be a large 
cement 
and brick building on the right.

To get to any of the hotels/motels follow Rt 76 as above but instead of 
turning at the armory stay straight on Rt 76 for about another mile 
until 
you get to the intersection with Rt 123.  The Ramada, Comfort Inn, and 
Sleep Inn will be at this intersection (keep to the right).  For the 
Days 
Inn take a right on Rt 123. For the Hampton Inn, Lake Hartwell Inn, and 
several restaurants take a left on Rt 123 and go about 1 mile.

Warhammer 40k Tournament:
The Clemson Gaming Guild will be hosting a Warhammer 40k tournament 
beginning noon Sunday.

DBA Tournament:
There will be a DBA tournament sometime Saturday (most likely Saturday 
morning). Prizes will be awarded.
