Nah that's fine for now. Puerto Rico to Wisconsin would be one helluva a trip though!

So is TurboFest going to be the "official" PCEFX meet-up spot?

I'd like to go next year if possible!  :D

Is turbofest in some rented out cabin with beer, pizza and multiplayer turbo insanity?  If no- it should be!  :)

MGC/TurboFest is just too far for it to be worthwhile for me, unfortunately, it's just too cost-prohibitive. I'd spend $400 on roundtrip air alone not to mention hotel, food, and spending money.

Since I just happened to have a few days off from work I took a look at exactly where the "Midwest" gaming classic is located... and it's in the mid to far east of the continent.

Why isn't it called the Mideast Gaming Classic?

How is Wisconsin far east?  The east is the east coast, Ohio to Iowa is midwest, and west of Iowa/Minnesota/Missouri is the west.

Yeah, if anything Wisconsin is far too west to be midwest. Its pretty much on the fringe of being central.

It would be cool if they could move it around every year, maybe to the more populous areas of the midwest like someplace in northern Ohio or maybe Chicago. If I'm going to go that far for something I'd rather do MagFest.

I actually have a friend there this year but that's only because his wife's family lives in the area making this a combined trip.

Hi.

Ohio is not the Midwest, we don't want them.  Especially the southern part, the Great Lakes area is okay though.

Iowa, Minnesota, and Northern Missouri can play with the cool kids.  I'd even include the east river part of the Dakotas.  A good guideline is that if it is between the Wabash, Ohio, and Missouri Rivers is it pretty rad.

Hahahaha.  Oconomowoc is almost straight north of Chicago.

I don't think they are ever going to move it from Wisconsin since a lot of the people who organize it are from Wisconsin.

Also, flying in from places far away to go to MGC is pretty silly.  You might as well go to CGE if you are going to do that, it is a lot bigger.

Yeah, two hours straight north by car...which puts it pretty far away from Chicago. "Midwest" isn't about longitude. Obviously you understand this since you are excluding Ohio, for some reason, but not the Great Lakes region even though Ohio is bordered by Lake Erie.

Southern Ohio is pretty terrible, I have to admit (Cincinnati aside)
