MacGurl Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 You should get Moycon to carpool with you You guys, this should be a great expo. Alot of great vendors have been set up for it and there's tons of stuff to do in Austin once the show is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I'll be there demoing off some prototypes. It's going to be a blast! I can't wait! . . . . . Ok so I can wait. But since I won't be at CGE this year (or ever again most likely) AGE will be my new main convention of the year. The wait is killing me!

Tempest Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 God I'm allways too young for the cool stuff... Yeah that cuold get a bit creepy... "Hey mom! I'm going to pile into a car with 3 strange guys and drive to Austin for a week" "Ok, but make sure you pack a sweater!" Seriously though, don't worry about it. The AGE will still be around in a few years. Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cvo Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Macgurl and I are going to have a mudfight, and we are planning on fighting like mad crazy bitches, so if you want to see some of that, plan on coming to AGE. Fighting. Mudfighting. Like mad crazy bitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hooray! I just signed up for two tickets (one for me, and one for the Mrs). So who can advise us on a good place to get lodging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miqorz Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Great after reading cvo's post I HAVE to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 If you want something slightly cheaper but very Austin and cool, check out the Austin Motel: http://www.austinmotel.com/ If you're wanting something cheaper than that and closer, there are a few Motel 6's along 35 that are fine. If you're wanting something really cheap, you can stay at the Rio which is very close and I think it's less than $40 for a double. That's if you don't mind being behind a door that has obviously been kicked in a few times, leaking pipes, and a few holes in the wall. However, the TVs have the old connectors that work with the original Atari 2600 switch box. -Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good Paul. My wife has an alumni card that entitles us to discounts on pre-reservations, so we'll probably call Austin Motel and see what rate we can get. If it's not that great, we'll consider Motel 6. If you're wanting something really cheap, you can stay at the Rio which is very close and I think it's less than $40 for a double.

I'm sure we can afford a couple of nights somewhere at a motel, but if we're really broke I might beg Albert to let us crash on his floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Guess this means I won't be expecting any of you in OK in September ehh? Seriously I knew about this event before finalizing mine. But I can actually host my show in OK cheaper than what coming down to Austin will run me for the day or so. It would be cool to see you guys, but since I am hosting my OK show in September, I can't do both. Maybe next year... Have fun at the AGE and make sure to share all your stories and pics...etc..

joesmooth Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Yeah! I'll be there in full force, wearing a cowboy hat and nothing else! Well, actually, I don't know about that - I don't want to get a sunburn. I'm looking forward to the show. We'll have a Pixels Past booth set up showing off the latest PCB and other goodies (that will be done in time for the show!) Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Just to make sure, if we don't have a vendor table, are we banned from selling goods at the show? Like PC4, I'd love to bring along some extras to have a little more cash to spend on goodies at the con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGurl Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 Joe Grand wearing only a cowboy hat That's much more fun than a mudfight between cvo and I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Genius! Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I can't wait for this show!! I have never been to Austin and hopefully I will have time for a tour! I will be bringing a lot of new stuff to the AGE including an 8-bit MultiCart! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I think my wife having a mudfight with every woman would be the most fun of all! Incidentally this will be my first time in Austin too. I hope the steak's as good as Omaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
