Unofficial Gen Con Book Club discussion

I drive up to Gen Con each year from Texas; I've made a habit of stopping at places along the way.

1. Fire breathing dragons at road side attractions ( you buy a token at a liquor store and put it in the machine to watch it breath fire )
2. Popeye the Sailor Man Statue
3. Superman/Lois Statues ( recently broken in bad weather )
4. A tiny town in Illinois that has like a dozen world's largest 'things'... oddly the town looks abandoned.. except for the town square where all these giant objects just exist.
5. A burger place in Memphis with burgers fried in 100+ year old grease.
6. A bar in Memphis where you can give goats beer.
7. Captain Janeway Bust/Statue ( Just south of Indianapolis in Bloomington )
8. Dr Who Museum/Store in Indianapolis.

Silky O'Sullivans; it had a back area where goats and a goat tower were. You could give them beer? When we went there the place was closing late at night so we didn't get to give any beer to goats.. but the goats looked at us suspiciously from the top of the goat tower.

We also had the 100 year grease burgers from Dyers Burgers, which is within 100 ft of Silky O'Sullivans.

If you're ever in Memphis I also suggest going to a Jewish bakery called Ricki's Cookies ( https://rickiscookies.com/ ) a bit further of a drive from Silky O'Sullivans, so might be a pain. Every year I stop and pick some up to hand out at Gen Con, of course you can look for me during Gen Con 2024 and try some.

I suggest the chip stick cookies.

I'm in NY, I just love little goats lol
