StarshipUK Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Hi Dan, Are you one of the organisers? If so it would be useful to just have dates if it is happening, as I am thinking of flying over to the UK for this, and want to use some air miles so need to book the flights as soon as they become available. The longer I leave it, the less chance there is of being able to get the free (after passenger taxes) flights. I noticed the one held a couple of years back was announced around this time.

+Wonder007 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have a feeling that it is not going to happen (I hope I am wrong).....especially since we are in January. I really enjoyed attending the shows in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 john posted on facebook "not yet,but we're working on it" it takes time to find a venue that best fits the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Iacovelli Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) Announced on Facebook(website getting updated) John Hardie: Hello loyal CGE attendees. First, let me thank everyone for their patience as we tried to coordinate an event for this year. It's only with your support that we've built this family over the years. As many of you know, Joe, Sean and myself have been busy the last few years in trying to garner exposure and launch the Videogame History Museum. Unfortunately, the rigors of doing 4-5 shows a year has meant that CGE has taken a back seat in our plans. While we never had any plans to abandon CGE, we felt the greater good would be to get the museum up and running. To that end, it was not our intention to have a CGE this year. Enter Scott Schreiber from the RetroGaming Roundup crew. Scott has been a rabid supporter of our show over the years and has even published a 2600 game called CGE Adventures. He has helped out many times over the years and is a firm believer in the CGE family culture that we've worked so hard to achieve. Scott approached us about taking over the reins for this year so that our faithful attendees wouldn't have to go another year without a show. Scott has show experience, having been involved with MAG Fest and had some great ideas on how to expand the show and improve upon it without messing with the core formula that makes CGE so special. After several discussions we came to an agreement where he and his team would run the show this year since we were not able to do so. We have agreed to be involved in an advisory role and will still be participating in the show. Expect to see the full Videogame History Museum layout you've always come to expect. We will also be coordinating the Alumni aspect of the show and will again be hosting the auction (bring your money & your beer!) So, it gives me pleasure to announce that there WILL be a CGE this year. Mark your calendars for an expanded 3-day event starting Friday Sep. 12 through Sunday Sep. 14th at the Riviera Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Expanded show days, expanded show hours, expanded arcade and console sections and more! (see? - these guys work fast). Joe, Sean & I look forward to seeing all of you there. Please join us in showing your support of the show and spreading the word. We're very excited about the new format and look forward to sitting back a little and having a little time to enjoy the show ourselves instead of constantly running around. Please make sure you say Hello to us. We'd like to take the time we'll have this year to get to know our family a little better. Thanks again for all your support and all you've done over the years. See you in September! Edited March 3, 2014 by Dan Iacovelli 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Atari_Warlord Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I really want to go this year. I've added it to my calendar and hope to figure out how to get away from work for a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Iacovelli Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I kind of figured retrogaming roundup would run it since they been a big on it and making the 2600 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
