OK, I've booked a room and purchased a ticket....and my wife has officially identified me as a geek.

Is anyone else going?

OK, OK, it's a totally geek fest....but I think it may still be fun. If it sucks....I'll high tail it outta' there early on Sunday morning. Besides.....I'm sure there are some "gentleman's" clubs in the area if the convention sucks.....

You east coast-ers get all the cool stuff! The northwest has almost nothing in comparison... *sigh*

I would fly in but I got plans already. I was supposed to be in Phillly sometime this year...I was hoping it would match up.

I went in 2002. It was great. I spent the whole weekend in the arcade section playing Baby Pacman, Star Wars sitdown and Spy Hunter (plus a play or 2 on most of the other 25 or so classic games.)

They also have tons of console stuff too.

wow, finally something I can go to without hearing my wife complain....it's just a quick 15 min. drive from my house....Never heard of it before, and I goto the Convention Center all the time for Computer shows...Thanks for the heads up.

MameMaster! · « **Reply #12 on:** February 20, 2004, 10:29:06 am »

...wow 15 min. I have a 2.5 hour drive!....enjoy the show.

I've never been there...I hope it's worth the drive and hotel!

Last year I drove 2.5-3 hours each way to go.... it was maybe worth it.... but it certainly is not worth a hotel stay IMHO. THere were a few gems amoung the dealers and the games... but by and large I didn't think it justified a huge trip or anything. I have not decided if I will go this time... depends on if I am free, etc...

MameMaster! · « **Reply #14 on:** February 20, 2004, 03:05:42 pm »

....yeah I figured as such (not worth the overnight stay); but I'm not sure if I'll feel like doing the 5 hour round trip......

.....as of now, I'm staying in the Hilton for only $10.00 more than they've listed the "special convention" rate at the Radisson for $79.00 per night.

If any one is interested you can get a "web rate" for the Hilton about 4.5 miles from the convention center for $89.00.

yeah now that i think about it im not sure if im going to waste money on the hotel thing. I only live like an hour and 20 min away, was kinda just doing it for conveinience but when i think about it theres better things i can think of spending 90$ on ya know. Im definately going though, probably drive up early saturday morning, what day is everyone planning on going?
