Unfortunately for me, I won't be able to attend this year. 

I will be in Chicago for ACEN next week though and Geekcon in Madison, WI this September.  Next year I will be back at the Midwest Gaming Classic 2012 for sure.

No problem Carlson, thanks for letting me know. I'm not much of an anime fan, but if you're attending ACEN, I may reconsider going.

I just thought I'd give you an update on Turbo Fest/VGS itself. We will have a whole room almost entirely for us!! This room was closed off last year. There will be four turbo stations available for people to play. The composition of those systems will be my T-16 with CD attachment and Turbo Duo. The other two will be figured out later. I do own a few hucard converters to play PCE games.

Adjacent to the turbo stations, there will be two Neo Geo AES systems to play with a wide variety of genres to choose from, and not just fighters. We will try out a couple of LAN games for the very first time such as League Bowling, Riding Hero, and Thrash Rally.

I'm still planning to hit this up, flying does not allow me a lot of options but if I can bring something to help out let me know.

My summer vacation plans have changed up a bit, so I've arranged to get the Thursday and Friday off before this event.  I'm planning on driving up!  :P   If any additional hardware / software is needed for the game room just let me know!

I took the Friday beforehand off, did we want to plan any pre-show events, like a trip to Galloping Ghosts?

Woo-hoo!! This is great. I'm also taking Friday off. Glad to hear you're coming to show Beamer and Majors. :)

Been so caught up with other cons...Anyone willing pick me up from the airport? There is a 1pm and 5:30pm arrival on Friday if one time works better for anyone. I can always take advantage of the wonderful Chicago public transit. Also, anyone getting a hotel room? I figure since it being a one day event most will just make it a day trip.

I work till 5pm on Friday, and most likely would be traveling in late Fri night or early Saturday morning.  I think last year we came in Saturday.   We'll be staying over till Sunday, then probably hit downtown Chicago and then head home in the afternoon.

I'd love to check out the local shenanigans after the show on Saturday!!

PS: The German Restaurant in that area has some of the tastiest beer I've ever had!!  Must hit that up again!!! :)

Also I was bumming around this morning on facebook, and noticed there was no 'page' made for TurboFest.  So I created one of just the TurboFest Tour.  I hope that was ok.  Just a way to get the word out to peeps, I actually already got a message asking me about what it was.  :)

I'm thinking of just posting video's of past events, and dates of upcoming stops for the tour.  I can send invites out when I get back from work to anyone that wants to be involved in TurbobFeccler!

Also, I'm thinking of contacting someone at Geek.kon that is being held in Madison in Sept about bringing some Turbo goodness, to kind of throw together a mini turbofest to go along with whatever gaming they got going.  This'll be my first Geek.kon so we'll see if that is even a possibility.

One idea for 2012 could be our T-Shirts with a TurboFest tour 2012 - and places and dates for our 'tour'  could look something like-
March 31st 2012 - Midwest Gaming Classic, Milwaukee WI
May 14th 2012 - Too Many Games, Phoenix, AZ
July 12th 2012 - Video Game Summit. Chicago IL
Sept 10th 2012 - Geek.kon, Madison WI
etc etc.

Lemme know what you think :)

You'all need to get out of the east and party in the south! The retro section of the game room at Animazement will grow next year. For the past three years it's just been my JP Duo Turbo-wise (with 2600, Gen, NES, etc). just something to think about...might be able to get folks a hook up.

Also, MAGFest is the best east coast gaming con IMO.

Star -> TMG in Arizona? Is that right?
