You mentioned food during conventions and I go to Origins nearly every year. I thought this tip would be helpful. Since Origins is in a larger city there is a city guide web site that has all sorts of local info. What I use it for is finding cheaper, very tasty food. Here’s the one for Columbus.

I’m sure Indianapolis has a similar site with local attractions and restaurants as well.
