Anyone going to the upcoming retro gaming expos?

And don't forget about Octurbofest on October 18th.

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

Your sister is welcome to come as well...

Yea, I don't think she would, lol.

Which are the best ones?

I heard the Portland one is really good.

I can't speak for last year as I didn't go (far too many deaths in the family) but the year before that was a blast. Jibbajaba and myself had a lot of fun. They even had a AES setup there! And Saturn Bomberman! Free arcade games! Some deaf dude was selling a bunch of turbo boxes and a few good games for ok prices. And the after party well was pretty cool too. Drinks were a bit expensive so I ended up going to Ground Kontrol (Barcade) and I believe they gave you a discount if you had your convention badge. The downside, some of the vendors charge beyond ebay prices on their wares so be wary..

I just got back from the classic gaming expo and I had a great time. despite only bringing 200 bucks I picked up a good amount of stuff. I will post pics later on. it wasnt as big of a crowd as I thought due to retropolooza happening in the same month as cge but was an awesome time. hope there will be one next year. if not, ill have to check out portland

Holed up in a hotel in Joplin, Missouri on the way back from the show - good times had by all. If anyone was there - Majors, CDamm and myself were running the Windy Gaming booth.

Great to meet Joe and Nando for the first time in person!

Is there any retro gaming convection here in the east coast? I'm in Georgia, I would definitely love to go to one near me.  I'm going to have to sit out of octurborfest this year.

Ok, I'm definitely going to the one in Portland this year! Who is with me?

I was at cge it was cool over there (cool as in cool stuff,not cool as in weather)
lots of retro sellers, there was gut selling loose 7800 power supply I wanted it it but was iffy on it since it wasn't in box.
Chances are I won't be at octurbofest because I plan to be at ghost the day before for the Walter Day event.
hopefully will have news on VGS in coming weeks,plan to stop at a venue to look it over and possible  talk a deal.

hoping doc set up an atari week so I can have atarimania event the same week be nice to have it connected.

That would be magfest and toomanygames.
