City of Gord
The SO has a conference, and I needed to use up some vacation time, so I tagged along to take advantage of the free room and visit a few places from my past. Got into town yesterday, did a couple of quick side trips before checking in. Spent today exploring the city. Not a bad town. Nice green spaces, ok downtown. Restaurants could be better, or maybe we just haven't found the good ones yet. State park right downtown. I am surprised to be impressed with the stadium, which is kind of badass to the point that I would almost overlook the taxpayer subsidy.
I thought about what I would do and how I would react when I encountered my first Gorden. This was folly, as I soon realized that they are all Gordens here. White, black, gay, straight, short, tall, young and old. For this is a city of Gordens, and I move amongst them as one of them.

Re: City of Gord
Did you find the Gordens of any interest at all?

Re: City of Gord
How far is the City of Gord from Fort Wayne? That's where my mom is moving and I don't have any specific plans to go there but it might be worth the trip to behold an entire city of Gordens. One time I missed Pomp (lol, remember Pomp?) by maybe a day in Las Vegas and I have regretted it ever since.

Re: City of Gord
Would the proto-überGorden be there?

No, he's in my old stomping grounds, Pomona, last I heard.

I came to this thread all ready to talk Greyhawk, which is the city of Gord the Rogue, pictured below in a shiny leather ensemble.

City of Gord is about 2 hours from Fort Wayne, but it's an easy two hours. You just follow the light.

Yes, I confirm that that is what they all look like. I believe that is a famous documentary photograph of a famous one.

Re: City of Gord
This thread needs more input from a well-known Gorden so I will summon him:
I think that should do the trick.

City of Gord
As I leave the City of Gord behind for now (at least in a geographical sense) I am left to reflect on the things I have seen and done here. Some mysteries, I suppose, will be with me always, such as: they do right-on-red here, right? Yeah, I'm pretty sure I remember that being ok.
Farewell, sweet Gordens, until we meet again.
