Turbo Fest (VGS) 2012

[DragonmasterDan]

Yeah, I meant in general, so sounds like you get a little more than what I thought then (if that count was just limited to folks from here) or what I would expect for something like this event...

General attendees of VGS last year was probably around 100-125 throughout the day. As far as people specifically from this forum, it was around 15.

Animazement in Raleigh on Memorial day weekend is expanding the its retro section to 8 setups. One Duo for sure and we will have a PC-FX and SGX with us just in case there is demand. Over 5000 sq/f just for the game room plus we move all the Bemani/Rock Band/Kinect to a 2nd game room to keep our sanity.

As for a meet-up, I'm thinking weekend cook out! I do a big throw down for the 4th every year. But I do not get enough obey in due to cooking, drinking and host duties.

Awesome, I didn't know Animazement had much going on for gaming.  That's only about an hour from me!  I take it you'll be there majors?

Where in the South are you? I'm in Tx (Dallas/Ft Worth Metroplex area) TRANSFORM!!!

Lol, I'm on the northern end of the South, in North Carolina.  But I know there are others here that are somewhat closeby.

I will be there (for more than 15 mins this time) and i might bring the G/F's son.  He isnt into retrogamign but we will see if we can change that.

Definitely going to try to make it this year! Looks like a blast, I don't work on the weekend so I should be free!

Sweet, D/FW is nice and central

Its a shame that I cannot attend, as the drive to get there is just too long for me ;-)





On a side note Chicago is a great city, I visited a couple of years ago and have some great memories :@)

Good luck with the event.

Obviously, I am going.

It's like a thumb and a bit away on  my screen, that's not that far

[Lilgrafx]

sucks living in the South sometimes..

Agreed.  I'm seriously tempted to try to organize some sort of retro-gaming gathering for us southerners.  With a heavy focus on OBEY, of course.

I probably won't be able to make it up to Chicago this year.  I already have a vacation planned for June, so taking another one in July isn't likely in the books.

How far south are you, I'm in virigina, which is kinda the south

I'm in Fayetteville, NC.  It's about an hour and a quarter south of Raleigh.  Where in VA are you?  I once drove up to Linden, VA to check out http://lunacityarcade.com.

Oh, you guys aren't far at all.  3-4 hours away.  We ought to meet up sometime.

[Bernie]

Sounds fine to me. 

[Lilgrafx]

For sure Virginia/ NC Turbo meet up. Preferable sometime in the summer

[BlueBMW]

Theres more peeps in NC too.  I might even be able to swing up that way for a meetup.
