Anyone going to the upcoming retro gaming expos?
« on: September 09, 2014, 09:32:18 AM »
Is anyone going to try and get to the Classic Gaming Expo in Vegas, Retro palooza in Dallas, or Retro Gaming Expo in Portland this year?

I really want to go, but 2 are coming up quick like this week and next, but Portland isn't for another month, so I might try and go to that one.

Trying my best to hit Retropalooza...gotta see the Sack guys at their first ever con!

MAGFest and MGC are my main "retro" events, I mostly do Anime cons and tournaments. I hear good things about Portland and CGE but those might not be best for me.

I'll be at Retropalooza along with Cdamm from Windy Gaming - we'll be working the sales floor most of the time but come on by and say hey if you're there.

A lot of us are on the Museum staff for the Midwest Gaming Classic (Matti, Bartre, Josh, BlueBMW, Nectarsis + others), so if you're interested in PCE stuff at shows, that's probably the one you'll want to go to.

Cool, my sister live in Chicago which isn't far from the even, maybe an hour drive.

I'm using my frequent flyer miles to get to the Portland expo and am staying with a friend... that means all the money I can save up between now and then will be spent solely on games.

I guess I'll have to eat, too.  I'll figure something out.

SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

Hmm, this is cool.  I can do this one since it's close to my sister who lives in the city of Chicago.
