When the time came to plan the third Intercon, we realized that the Natick Hampton Inn was just too small. If there was any hope of growing, we had to have more room. That led us to the Chelmsford Radisson. We settled on an X-Files theme, and then started looking for LARPs. Those LARPs brought in a lot of great LARPers, and it was a fabulous con.
