(AVC_live plans to be broadcast there as well,it will be our first remote live broadcast,we tried it at VGS but we had technical problems with the server there) Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/134787-midwest-gaming-classic-09/#findComment-1623815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I hope to have a table with all the projects I am currently working on, specially the Opgrade Module. It's possible that Donkey Kong Arcade will be on display in some form too. I am looking forward to meet some of the ColecoVision fans here during the event.

Atariman Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I will more than likely be there - only THIS time I'll be taking a day of vacation so I don't have to miss any of the awesomeness!

Retro Rogue Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 For anyone that's interested, I put up the first set of my pictures from the 2006 MGC. Note, that it does not include the museum hall. I'll be putting up pics from that in early January. http://www.flickr.com/photos/91071283@N00/...57611201169543/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/134787-midwest-gaming-classic-09/#findComment-1642126 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro Rogue Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Err yah, 2008. Wierd, I had re-edited it as 2008 when I posted it and it didn't shown up. I also don't see any edit options now.

Inky Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Is it gonna be in the summer, or in MArch again? I was very disappointed when they moved it to March.

Retro Rogue Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Is it gonna be in the summer, or in March again? I was very disappointed when they moved it to March. March 21st and 22nd. Much better time period for the show, summer was just not working out. Weddings, summer vacations, and people were much less likely to want to spend time indoors when the weather outside is really nice. Advertising rates, halls, etc. are also much cheaper pre-Spring, etc. Attendance bumped to 2,600 this past show (though we don't count a major part of the attendees - kids 12 and under in that count, since they're free).

RJ Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 In '06 it was in summer & there was a little league tournament going on locally so there were little kids running around all over (which may have help MGC attendance) but they took over the outdoor pool!

RickO2 Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Is it gonna be in the summer, or in MArch again? I was very disappointed when they moved it to March. I'm with you. I liked it better in the summer. The Ferry Boat doesn't run in March so I have to drive through Chicago or the U.P. to get to the show. plus the kids are still in school which means dance classes and hockey games on the weekends. I'll be lucky if I can get away for a day this year.

Retro Rogue Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I'm sorry you guys feel that way, and hopefully you'll be able to make it in the future. But we have to go with what's actually best for the show, and all things point to this time period, including attendance.

Crimefighter Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I surely will be there again. Seems now though I'm going to a gaming convention every six months between the MGC and Heartland Pinball & Arcade Show.

Carey85 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I may consider flying in for this one. Too far to drive.. I've driven from Cincinnati a few times, takes anywhere from 7-9 hours depending on whether or not Chicago traffic wants to play nice or not. Also, you're looking at paying like $75 for the shuttle to and from the Olympia from the airport in Milwaukee. Driving would probably be your best bet seeing as Southwest doesn't fly into Milwaukee Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/134787-midwest-gaming-classic-09/#findComment-1662074 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving would probably be your best bet seeing as Southwest doesn't fly into Milwaukee I would check with megabus and see if they are available there then take the bus(if you book it early enough rt would cost you 2.50)then take a shuttle from amtrak to the show(and back) would only be 60.00 RT.
