Star -> TMG in Arizona? Is that right?

No, I just made that up.  TMG is in Philly (Google search)

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.

The guys who run Geekcon are hardcore. They showed me pics of their gameroom and they had EVERYTHING.  I really can't speak for them, but I would think they would be open to a Turbo Fest.  I am really looking forward to attending that show as a vendor and an attendee.

Also any interest in a Turbo Fest outside of the Smithsonian Museum Spring 2012 to protest the exclusion of the TG16 from the video game art exhibition?  We could all bring TurboExpresses/GTs and maybe a LT or two...LOL

This angers me to no end! The Turbografx/PC Engine, Bonk, Ys, etc. must be included! I am tired of NEC's and Hudson's love child always getting the shaft! ....f*ckers!

....f*ckers!

....f*ckers!

 

Was my anger properly conveyed?

[_joshuaTurbo]

I just laugh when people say 'f*ckers' !!  LOL, I also dig 'Shit Fer Brains'

As luck would have it, I just happened to exchange conversation with Sean Orange on Twitter (f*cking twitter)  He said they'd love to have TurboFest be a part of GEEK.KON's video game room, and will suggest it at their next meeting!

O_O Turbob Fest's possible third stop of 2011 is in the works!!

Internet says Galloping Ghost has KoFXIII. Now I'm interested in a Friday outing and pay a visit.

Should we make a list of confirmed attendees from this forum?

Im still planning on coming up.  My dad is going to come with and visit some friends so I may need to hitch a ride if we do anything outside the convention saturday.

I'm bringing the usual gaggle- (Tasha, me, and two sons - age 12 and 10)  the plan as of now is to arrive early Saturday morning and stay the night in hotel.  We should make some plans to do something Saturday night (arcades, gaming, etc), and maybe do a tour of all the good places to find goods in the wild Sunday.

Sounds good to me.

This is so tempting....  I'm trying to come up with a way to make it work.

where you coming from ROLFO?

Any idea as to what happened to 'Roy the Sunderer'?  He was cool as hell last year, but has since disappeared.....

I'd be coming from Fayetteville, NC.  It's almost a toss up cost wise driving vs flying...  If I were to drive, I'd lose a day on each end, but could visit a friend in WV on my way.  If I flew, I'd probably want to rent a car....  And me and the wife and kid are going to San Diego for 10 days later that month.  Hard to justify 2 trips in one month.
