Dan Iacovelli Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 A quick note: even though I emtioned a while back about the old VGS items will be taken down from VGS shop at cafepress.com on the 8th. I have extended it to tuesday. so if haven't purchased any thing from 2004 show from the shop tuesday will be the last day so I can make room for the 2005 items with the new graphic. Also on tuesday I'll have a anouncement about the food that we will have at the show(if you looked at the form for registration at the web site the you'll prob know).

Basicly made the VGS yahoogroup archive viewable to public since that makes it available to RSS/XML. was thinking of doing of a seperate one but that would be too much work.

gulag picture radio Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 I'm going to be there for sure! I got two tables, and two sets of bongos for Donkey Konga so c'mon over! I'll be bringing the Japanese version of Konga (so there are some weird songs on there no one has heard, and I don't know what they're called since I don't read Japanese), Samba de Amigo, and some Japanese music-related games for PS2. Will anyone have a Japan modified PS2 there? I think that my friend that I'm sharing tables with will bring a C64 and a ton of games. I think that we'll also have an Atari Video Music going, so it should be a lot of raucus fun. Since there's not going to be an MGC in Milwaukee, this is it for us midwesterners! I'll also bring lots of junk to trade, so let's use this thread to make requests for what we should bring to trade, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubledown Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 I will have my new Super ColecoVision there on display for all of those who dare behold all of its mighty premis! I'll also have a couple of A/V and S-Video modded ColecoVisions there for sale as well, along with about 100 ColecoVision games and accessories.

I will have my new Super ColecoVision there on display for all of those who dare behold all of its mighty premis! 867354[/snapback] Keep your Coleco's "mighty penis" back in Ohio, boy... That's a helluva typo there, Mike. Seriously we've got to figure out how I can trade you a couple Coleco's, about ten Atari Juniors, and some laser discs for one of those sweet modded Coleco's, and somehow make you feel like you got a good deal.

doubledown Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 PREMIS not PENIS, although the Coleco's Penis is rather mighty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
