Do Indy FLGS or other businesses have events during GenCon week (either official or unofficial)?  We are staying away from downtown and I thought it might be nice to do something out a bit to get a breather from the chaos.

(We are more into board games vs TTRPG or TCG)

I know this is a bit early, but on a similar topic, are there specific events that we should keep an eye out for?  Not necessarily looking for high demand hotness... just things that are well run and have a good potential to entertain.

Already on my radar are AEG Big Game night and BGG Hot Games Room.

Elf 'N Moon game store was open 24/7 during Gen Con last year, with gaming, movies, and more.  I never made it over, but heard good things about it.  Might be worth checking to see whether they are doing the same this year.

Good Games has a store right downtown. 111 S Meridian. 

I know last year the Dice Tower guys went up to the FAR NW side to a local game store for open gaming bit to me that's just a WASTE of valuable GC time. :)

That is so funny you brought that up since it was the Dice Tower video that made me ask the question. I wasn't sure if that was a public thing or a private event.

The local escape room a few blocks from the ICC puts in slots into our event catalog.  Nice for a  game then a  filling meal at Spaghetti Factory downstairs afterwards
