I'll be shirtless.

No black mesh shirt with gold chains?

Sadly, no.

Nice to see this show get some mention here. 

I've been going to the show since the very first one back in September 2004.  It has really had its ups and downs in terms of programming and attendance #s, but this should be a solid show.  The nice thing about the event "for buyers" is that the vendor room is about the same size at midwest gaming classic, but attendance is about 1/3 of the show.   Between 10am and 1pm it is a mad buying and selling rush, but after 1pm sales drop off so it is a good time to haggle with sellers for some really good deals if there is something leftover that interests you.

Not really sure if I will have my usual amount of PCE stuff available at the show, but I will be aiming to blow out a lot of the inventory I am bringing, and as the folks who attended MGC know, I am always willing to haggle if it is a nice sized package deal

Are we gonna man any Turbo-centric area? Or just game it up in a hall? Anyone be able to pick me up from the airport on Saturday morning, it's about 20 miles down the road. Also, anyone getting a hotel room that is not bringing a wife and kids? It's hard for me to bring systems, but I can grab a Hu or two, even a flash card with some goodies loaded up.

Tony, you can crash with me, but I don't think I will be able to help with logistics from the airport tho... 

It is very likely that Jon is coming from Ohio.

Majors ur going? Well than I may make the trip. Ill be staying w my girlfriend if she doesn't dump me. I may be able to get u a ride. My girl works at the philly airport give me the hotel addy and ill let u know

[majors]

Philly is real good city for me to fly into, 4 flights a day from Greensboro, NC.

[roflmao]

Very tempting...  But it's roughly $600 I can't convince myself to spend on an awesome gaming convention right now...  Maybe as the time draws nearer I'll win the lottery and finances will no longer be a concern.

Just a heads up for anyone considering traveling to the show: via Priceline I got a $46 bid per night accepted for a 2.5 star hotel right across from the expo center. 

[roflmao]

Good to know - that would shave off $100 from my estimate!

I am planning on going and I am driving in from NJ (East Hanover). How many seats do you need? I have minivan and hatchback, but I don't think I'll be bringing the minivan (my wife prefers it).

So, the airport shouldn't be a problem, assuming we harness the powers of modern technology (phones) to make the pickup painless.



16-bit, I used to buy a lot of stuff from you via ebay (many years ago) and put in a good word here and elsewhere.

[majors]

Less than a week! Who is still good?

<Don't forget to call Mom on Sunday!>

[turbogrfxfan]

yeah me and my girlfriend broke up for the 40th time so I have no place to crash and the train is to much of a pain in the ass

[majors]

I think you call that a fight.
