Same wknd as Cosplay America...and the other coast. I hear good things of the Portland show for buying/selling, but not so much the MGC "hang out" after party vibe so you'll have to report back. It could also be just my reports from the front come from folks that do not party nor mingle to find where the evening activities take place.

We also need an obey report from anyone that attends.

Awesome. It'll be me and my bud this year again and I won't be so f*cking sick this time around. Last year sucked being sober and sick for the entire event.

Tried to do an after party in our rather large hotel last year, but no one was down with 10 player Saturn Bomberman or Guardian Hereos. :/

lol


That news clip was fantastic.

The flames?!

I wasn’t expecting the flames.

Also, how have 25 years passed?

I love that this was aired and that it lasted more than 30 seconds.

Yeah he is quite the odd fellow. He started showing up at PRGE back in 2015. Thought it was a bit odd how he was weaving through the crowds without missing a tune or catching anyone on fire. lol. That took talent there.

Spread the word of obey! ...and put a bird on it.

Looking forward for the rundown when you return.

Had a blast this year although I spent about half of the convention looking for lost folk! lol Our hotel room was directly across the way from Metal Jesus and we had some fun messing with him. The friendly giant was pretty busy this year by the sounds of things. Anyway, kinda disappointed they didn't have Joust pinball nor did they have any turbo games up, but they did have a Commodore PET with a few games on it. lol Until next year!


P.S. If anyone knows him personally(Metal Jesus), we have his pumpkin carving kit he left behind. I can ship it off to him if he wants it back.
