Insert Coin 09-U.K arcade video expo
vputz:
Yeah, but you had an excuse!
Don't take our criticism too harshly; it was a great show and a rough thing for a small group to put together -- you should be very pleased! If people didn't care, they wouldn't have said anything at all. Fantastic job and I hope it becomes a regular event (even though I'll miss it after 2010).

Thanks to ST for the coolest coat rack ever.

Hey, thanks :)
I didn't realise I'd sold to a BYOAC member. Maybe my lady made the sale when I was off playing Outrun 2.

In all honesty, I would have felt "naked" if I would have come and showed the Joust or Missile Command.
It looks like a Japanese arcade.
Not a single classic.
The SI/Qix doesn't count as a classic IMHO.
Grant I really appreciate your hard work and risks in this show (guess the electricity bill was more than the ticket sales alone.....) but I think it's a bit strange to blame the classic collector community for not showing up. We all know what happened at the Jamma+ forum and that completely killed the classics scene for Insert Coin. You'll need to find a way to solve that issue to get the classics coming in.
I hope I will be able to come over next year with a cab though. It's stupid to kill an event like this from the beginning and it's even more stupid to complain there were no classics when people are simply not willing to come and bring one.
I woud love to see a "Euro" CAX-like event growing from this, and I feel this is what Grant had in mind when he started this all.

now the template is in place its just a case of getting people to show their cabs,we know the mistakes we made
