Massage Returns to Gen Con Indy 2013
The Gen Con team is excited to welcome back local business Enroute Spa to Gen Con Indy 2013. Based on the feedback of satisfied attendees from last year's show, the team knows how much you like on-site massage after a weekend of non-stop gaming and fun!
Throughout the year, Enroute Spa is a day spa located inside the Indianapolis International Airport offering massage therapy, natural nail services (manicures and pedicures), and handcraft retail to millions of travelers each year. Enroute Spa’s mission of making wellness convenient is realized through airport locations and expansion into the city of Indianapolis with pop-up shops at conventions and services onsite at corporations.
Enroute Spa’s Gen Con 2013 menu centers upon chair massage, the most convenient and effective way to deliver wellness in a public setting. Chair massage includes manipulating muscles of the head, neck, back, arms, and hands to bring a relaxation and a better focus to our gamers. Enroute Spa has expanded its SPA Program class offering to include instruction on massage therapy, as well as yoga and meditation all focused to enhance the gaming experience.

Based on the success of last year's official beer partnership, Sun King Brewing and Gen Con LLC have announced a partnership to create an all-new beer for Gen Con Indy 2013. In addition, for the first time in Gen Con Indy history, the event will feature a 21-and-over beer garden located on Georgia St. The official beer also will be available for purchase at numerous participating local restaurants and bars.
“Gen Con is an incredible experience, and we’re excited to work with them and Indianapolis Downtown, Inc., to expand the scope of the festivities,” said Sun King brewer/owner Dave Colt. “Utilizing Georgia St. is a great way to enhance the experience for attendees, but it also allows everyone the opportunity to enjoy and discover the wonders of Gen Con!”
Similar to last year, fans will again help select the official name for the Gen Con Indy 2013 beer. An official contest will be announced on Gen Con's Facebook page with more details to follow. If you're in Indianapolis and of legal drinking age, stop by Sun King's brewery and tell them how excited you are for the Gen Con 2013 official beer!
