jboypacman Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I was just wondering who here on the AtariAge forums is planning on going to the Midwest gaming classic in Wisconsin this year? I have never been to a classic gaming event and i am hoping to go to this one.I have already request some vaction time from work and i managed to convince the wife we could work me going to the event as part of a trip to her parents who live in Random Lake,Wisconsin which isnt very far from the event.I could only go for afew hours but i think it would be great to meet some of you from the forum.

Inky Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Kinda early, but I may go (And Dauber will probably come along ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacbthPSW Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'll probably be there again, for my third time. My friend and I might be putting on a Commodore display there, although I'm not so sure I want to be tied to one spot for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I've been approached about attending again as a vendor, but not sure what's going to happen this year yet. Will be closer, though. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm hoping to get a good Jagfest display going there, my one problem is transportation,incase my brothers car doesn't work or if gas prices is high(it's either amtrak or megabus(unless Iget a ride from a friend of mine)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I just might -- I'm sure Inky will need a ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend and I might be putting on a Commodore display there, although I'm not so sure I want to be tied to one spot for so long. Well, I can put you in the museum area (since I'm trying to expand the computer area besides just what I bring). They'll be a lot of "us" in there (myself, JD and his people, the "mini event" people like DAn and JAgfest, Ozyr and his area, a TG-16 fest area, etc.) So all told, they'll be plenty of people in the room that you can take time to walk around if you like.

Crazy Climber Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I went last year and had a blast. The night before the show I was hanging out at the hotel bar drinking pitchers of beer and shots with some of the members and I had a monster headache the next day, the 100 or so Arcade and pinball games going off all at once made it even better I'll be there for sure this year, it's a great time. Even my girlfriend had a lot of fun and I really didn't expect that. I really liked the museum area, the arcade and the vendors. They were all great people..it's always cool to put a face to a name as well. This year I want to try and compete in one of the competitions...if they do it again....I am the Pinball Wizard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I'm much closer to Milwaukee now, which makes attending the show a lot easier, should I decide to do so. Would be nice to see a roll call of what members from AtariAge might attend.. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Player Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I didn't realize that the convention was that close to me. Only a seven hour drive from Cincinnati according to mapquest. Hard to figure the real time it would take. You can shave two hours by not driving the speed limit. But then, the route takes me right through Chicago, so how much time do I add for that? It is about 100 miles closer than Philly. Put me down as a possibility for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
