East Coast would be good. There dont seem to be too many of us my way tho here in VA.
Where in VA are you from? I grew up in Virginia Beach.
And yeah - any folks on here that are remotely close to the Midwest should come to VGS (the Video Game Summit) in Lombard, IL; outside Chicago. It's a small show but it's typically the big summer meetup for the group here. The show is dirt cheap to attend ($5 if I recall) so you're really only on the hook for travel. A bunch of us stay overnight for the weekend, so rooms can be shared to save bucks.
The vending at the event is surprisingly decent and we basically just take over a quarter of one of the rooms for Turbob stuff + some other consoles.
