Final San Ramon DunDraCon

A brief snippet of the gang's visit for the last DunDraCon to be held in San Ramon, California.

The gaming convention had prior been held at the Claremont Hotel in Berkeley, CA (1976-77), Lemington Hotel in Oakland, CA (1978), the Villa Hotel in Oakland, CA (1979-80), the Dunfey Hotel in San Mateo, CA (1981), and the Hyatt Hotel, Oakland, CA (1982 for DunDraClone, and 1983-91).

Our friend and D&D buddy Kevin alerted us DunDraCon was moving to the San Ramon Marriott Hotel in 1992 and we have held a game there every year except 2014.

We'll sorely miss it. Back in the 80s conventions were special occurrences rather than regular gigs until DunDraCon moved right into our backyard. It helped that DunDraCon (well, DunDraClone) at the Oakland Hyatt was my 3rd ever D&D convention in September 1981 after GrimCon III in May 1981 also at the Oakland Hyatt and Origins/Pacificon in July 1981 at the Dunfey Hotel in San Mateo.

Ha, we were sometimes the bad eggs, but damn we loved that convention hard for a long time...
