That I wouldn\'t mind. I\'m too 0ld to stay up late painting now. My eyes shut down. We\'ll see. I can actually drive out there and back on the day of but the cost of the tickets kills me. I HAVE to try though. I want to enter some things. I\'m not making any promises this year. That way I won\'t have to come up with excuses.

I was planning on going to it but the price is kind of insane. And well, the woman won\'t \"let me\" go to a mini conference on a vacation.... :] some people just don\'t understand :no:

See and that\'s why you keep bugging me to go and I CAN\'T. It costs ME at least $40.00 to go not to mention gas and a room (if I don\'t want to drive back the same day). With as far as I have to go even with the lower gas prices we have now that\'s around $100.00 (no room) or $200.00 (room). :no:

There is no Games Day LA This year, Taken directly from the GW website...
This year marks the 16th year of Games Days in North America, and this year we plan on introducing more exciting events and engaging activities than ever before. There will be three Games Days in North America this year, one in Baltimore, Toronto, and Chicago. If you are new to Games Day, you might want to check out our Frequently Asked Questions and Survival Guide Pages.

Here is some more info from the community link
A few months ago, you may have heard that the US and Canadian Games Workshop businesses merged, forming one North American entity. Accordingly, we’ve been working behind the scenes with our promotional and event efforts and we’ve just wrapped up the schedule for the 2009 North American Games Days (click the link for more detailed information).
The 2009 schedule is as follows:
Baltimore Games Day - May 9, 2009
Toronto Games Day - June 20, 2009
Chicago Games Day - July 25, 2009
Going forward, our focus with Games Day will be to provide a grand celebration of the Games Workshop Hobby and the Hobby Community. To accomplish this, we’ve made some changes for the better. Whether you’re into collecting, painting, modeling or gaming, Games Day will offer unique Hobby experiences unavailable anywhere else! There will be more to do. We’ll be opening up the venues to expanded Club and Community driven activity and events (registration begins soon!). Games Day will be more interactive for participants, staff and Studio Guests alike. If you’ve never been to Games Day, GO! If you’ve been to Games Day before, you’re not going to want to miss this year.
We have also decided that we will not be hosting a Los Angeles Games Day this year. This was a very difficult decision for us and we want to be very clear and open about our reasons. Simply stated, based on current plans, the Los Angeles metro is about to go through a growth spurt in new Hobby Centers and, in hand with that, so will its Hobby Community base. This is something to celebrate! In support of this effort, we are going to prioritize and invest our resources into Community Events, Club efforts and Hobby Centers, and return with Games Day next year, in a very big way.
In the meantime, if you are near LA, be sure to check out the Broadside Bash, SoCal Slaughter, and Quake City Rumble!

Wow, that\'s definitely shocking. I always figured LA had the best participation. Oh well. Looks like I will be going to Baltimore GD then.

Agreed, but the second post I put up with their reasonings and stating that they will be back to a LA GD in 2010 is encouraging.
Ultimately Im sure its the money.. they can only do so much.

Well, I can cry about this (which is what I want to do) or I can save my pennies and take a little vaccation...looks like a roadtrip is in order. More like an airtrip actually! Now the question is where to go...Chicago or Baltimore???
Sorry Liz, I\'m not hiding you in my luggage!!!
