BTW, I am in no way affiliated with the event or the group sponsoring it.  I'm just reposting what I found:

November 7th & 8th, 2008

The Houston Area Arcade Group (HAAG) is holding their 7th Annual Arcade Expo on November 7th & 8th at the Houston Grand Plaza Hotel.

Admission is $25 for a weekend pass or $15 for a single day, which gets you access to over 130 arcade games and pinball machines all set to free play!

We will be adding Classic Console games to the mix this year! Game systems. This includes Atari 2600, 5200, 7800, ColecoVision, Vectrex, Intellivision, and other classic consoles.

You can also participate in arcade and pinball tournaments, win door prizes, try your luck at a game raffle to win a full stand up arcade or pinball.

We doubled out vendor booth and tournament space this year, we will have tons of arcade and pinball parts, Manuals and memorabilia. Even great general memorabilia and comic books.
There will be concessions and a full bar available for you to purchase refreshments.
There aren't many opportunities to enjoy large collections of classic arcade games, so if you are in the Houston area (or can get there!), you should be at this expo!

I went last year.  Amazing selection of games and more vectors in perfect running condition than I've ever seen before.  Not to mention a great selection of pins.
