EVENT: Classic Arcade Tournament 18JUN2011 [Toronto, Ontario, Canada] NM

[CheffoJeffo]

Not mine, but it looks like Gerald is running a pre-grand-opening tournament at his Sergeant D's Barcade this weekend.

I can't be there, but I would expect a good time (hell, I've had a great time at his auctions and now there is food and drink!).

Here is the listing on Kijiji:

Gerald is a great guy and has done tons for the local collector and enthusiast communities. If you can be there, please do.

DAMMIT—I can’t believe this.  Not TWO minutes ago, I posted in a thread on a different forum about classic game tourneys that are too far away, saying how cool it would be if one popped up reasonably close to home.  But I’ve got a stupid wedding to go to on Saturday.  Oh well, hopefully there will be others.

Gerald has been planning his arcade/barcade for years now and, despite all of the adversity, seems to have pulled it off (quietly if I do say).

I would expect that there will be more events like this ... maybe we can meet there and discuss iPads, money and brains!

 

OTOH, depending on how local you are, there is a patio gathering of collectors on Friday night in Waterloo (including the local pinball league). I can't go as my (kids') event runs through the entire weekend.

Adversity?  Trouble with licensing or something?

If I was thinking, I would have made a t-shirt with that slogan on it.
