Here is a sample of some of the extensive work of other sticks he has created for other systems. It is awedropping. He took a Dewalt carrying tool case and turned that into an arcade stick!! Check it out:

Are there any East Coast people (New England area) that are going that I could carpool with?

Is there anyone near the convention with a guest room that would allow me a place to crash while I'm there?

All set and ready to jet!! We'll be at the show! 

And we signed up for the after party!!  w00!!!

In comparison, how big is this show compared to other 'classic gaming shows'?  Like MGC.

Lovin' the enthusiasm Turbostar!! Weren't you the guy who did Turbo Fest with Keranu in prior years at the MGC?

Compared to the Midwest Gaming Classic, the Video Game Summit is much smaller. If you attended MGC last year, it is about 35-40% the size of main floor where people were selling games. This will be my first year attending as a staff member.

It sucks that my Duo all of sudden lost its sound. I don't think I will be able to fix it in time for the show since I lack the techinical expertise, soldering tools and gamebit. I've read the repair thread on this site, but still.. At least I have my T-16 + CD, not exactly the most portable system LOL.

Lots of cool events planned for Turbo Fest and the rest of the VGS.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know. I hope I can bring Turbo Fest back to its former glory.  :)

Do you have the address for the Convention Center? I tried to find it in MapQuest but only got other locations in Lombard.

The address is 665 W. North Ave. in Lombard, Illinois. It is the sister building to the Fairfield Inn. It is right behind the hotel. If for some reason, you can't find it, just go to the lobby of the fairfield inn and they'll tell you where the Heron Point Convention Center is.

I am not sure if we will be moved by July 17th, but if there is one next year, we will be there. :)

Cool, thanks!!  I've been attending MGC since about 2004, and I've seen it grow from a small gathering to what it has become now.  I'm seriously stoked to see the VGS!!

Hey guys, we are about one week away from the show (July 17th). It's not like the big retro conventions such as the Midwest Gaming Classic, but if you lower your expectations accordingly, you will have a great time. Lots of cool tournaments planned.

If you guys do go, make sure you stop by at my Turbo Fest booth.

Hey Turbo Star, you are more than welcome to bring along your T-16+CD. In fact, that is what i'll be using. I was also going to bring along my Duo, but the sound went bad on me at the last second.. I need to find someone on this forum to repair it for me. 

We can test your system any time in between tournaments:
Here is just a recap of the tournament times:

Battle Lode Runner: 12 PM
Bomberman 94: 2 PM
R-Type: 4 PM

See ya there!!
