Starting your own game convention/ gathering: Pizzangames

Looks like y'all had a good time.  I'm glad it turned out well (profitable and no thievery).

Holy Cannoli! I didn't see this until today!

Good to see the experience was positive and rewarding. If you lived in a reasonable place, like NJ/NYC, I would gladly help out.

All this means is that you need to move to the Midwest.

Well-played, comrade.

Started revamping the site for this September's show.  Final booking meeting to happen tomorrow morning!  Really nervous/excited to find out what quadrupling our space will cost us!

Check out our site and pix updated for more info about the show-

Also, would love to see a few forum pals make it up nort' for the event.  Lots of decent fishing weather in mid- September... hehe... However, there isn't much more to offer other than trees and rivers for Central Wisconsin...

I might come up Josh, its the least I can do since I come over and visit your wife and drink your beer when your at work!

That's cool!

Not too far and something I'd consider going to.
The only bad part is the Lions play the Packers the next day so a MI plate might draw unnecessary attention

Hey! A fellow Wisconsinite!  I'm from Hartland WI unfortuneately that is a quite a bit aways from Merril, probably 4 hours each way.  Now if you had a meet up in say the Dells about halfway that would work

[roflmao]

I wish I was closer, but I don't think I'll be able to make it this year. I *am* hoping to make it to VGS Turbofest though!

I love the way you styled the website.  Good luck on this year's event!

[turbokon]

I so want to go.  I may not make it to another turbo meet until next year's MGC.  I haven't seen my folks since the move from Kansas to Georgia over a year ago.

The show went super SUPER well.  We had more attendees this year and the gamble on moving to a much larger venue paid off!!  Now to start plans for next year!

Awesome!!!

 

I love that you are continuing to do this.

Why, I remember when you were just planning the first one...

Hey guys, NECRO POST!

Just wanted to update the couple of you following. 

The show continues, we're expecting big things and the next date is THIS SATURDAY!!  The big news this time around is that Cdamm from Windy Games is coming all the way from Chicago to be a vendor for the show!  It's a pretty big deal, and we're really lucky he's willing to give such a small show a chance. 

Really hoping for a good turnout and hope it goes without too much drama.

Will update this thread with pix and vids from the show once I have them.

Hey!

This thing is still going, and actually growing a little each year!  I had 14 vendors this year with one coming over from Michigan! Ranging from retro games, board games, to toys.  It's really cool seeing this thing continue to blossom! 

It's probably going to stick to being a Labor Day Weekend tradition for us, so if you're ever in the neighborhood....

Check out this video a couple "Youtubers" made about the event.  Most of the convention stuff starts at about the 4:00 minute mark.
