Sure wish I was there. If you end up doing this a again next year I'll hopefully be able to join yous guys.
It was fun, but also very draining. I literally had one or two people helping me and my kids did a great job. I didn't really plan it out as well as I had thought. I did pretty much everything. Hooking up, bringing materials (forgetting some), in charge of collecting entry fees, ordering damn pizzas, managing things not working, switching games and running tournaments. Still had a good time though, through the second half of the day (4-8pm) we really didn't have too many new people walk in, so I got to play a bunch of games with people there. It was a pretty good time, and I'm sure we'll do it again. I need to get a group of about 4 people to run it with me I think next time. One guy who came and did a computer presentation with iPads and Linux stuff, suggested we kick off the new with next year's in February. At first I was thinking, eesh, would I really want to go through this again in 5 months, but then after you think about it. It might be good to get all my stuff out and tested before
MGC, so who knows.
All in all, it was a good time. We had 23 paid attendants, and I came out losing a bit money wise, but the place was cheap and has great pizza, and I got to hang out with some actual retro gamers in the area.
Speaking of MGC, we need to get talks moving again about what we're all expected to bring for turbob fest.
