Octurbofest 2013

Just avoid the "Room of Hell's Gate"

I still feel bad about that experience you guys had... 

But yes, the downers grove one.  Plus its close to Frys (Turbokon, you should definitely visit Frys!)

Naw, dude, don't. It's a cherished memory that still makes me laugh.

What's Frys? Sounds like a restaurant.

It's a large electronics store warehouse. They have lots of electrical components such as capacitors and soldering equipment and accessories.

Ooh, cool, I would definitely check it out.

Imagine Best Buy or Circuit City, but instead it's the size of a Home Depot and has the motherload of electronics circuitry and equipment and insane clearance stuff. It's amazing. Nectarsis and I made a pit stop there after Octurbofest last year.

I still haven't checked a Fry's out yet. There is one about 45 minutes away from me too.

Worth the drive.  Its like Best Buy, Game Stop, Radio Shack, NewEgg.com/Tiger Direct all rolled into one, the size of a Lowes or Home Depot.  The one near me has a cafe in the center of it.

Yes, but that Cafe is terrible

Roughly one month to go! 

[Bardoly]

Looking forward to it!

Are there any needs for consoles or extra TVs this year?  Also, we probably won't be able to make the Friday Hotdog lunch/dinner meetup.    But we'll be there first thing Saturday morning and staying for any activities afterwards and Sunday morning.

A TV and a Duo would be welcome sight to see.

Very slight possible hiccup for me.  Got a jury duty summons for Oct 7th... as long as it doesnt go the full two weeks they're legally able to require me to serve, then I shouldnt have a problem.  If it does, I might miss the Friday fun.

[turbokon]

What Friday fun? Can I join?

Typically the Friday before, some of us go and find some excellent Chicago food, maybe hit some game stores etc.
