Welcome to this special HomeGame News Gateway Convention report. Aimed primarily at those who can't attend, we hope to provide daily updates on the happenings in St. Louis. For those of you that are attending, feel free to look around and maybe check things out from a new perspective – the HomeGame perspective.

Ideally, we're going to work to get you summaries of the day's happenings in the form of journal entries from our dedicated staffers who will be on-location the whole weekend. Look for exciting supplements to these reports that might include audio, video, and other photographs. Please be aware that we can't know how well our technology will work until we get there and start using it, so be patient if we can't get all these things up during the convention, because we'll be sure to get them up after the convention.

For those of you needing background on the Gateway Convention taking place in St. Louis on July 14-16, 2000, go to the official convention's website at: http://www.stlf.org/gateway
