Nateo Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Any of you guys coming out to this year's MGC? I just booked the hotel room. Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/300728-midwest-gaming-classic-2020-april-3rd-5th/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Nope. Not going. Oh, wait...forget it. I actually bought my ticket and booked my hotel room, so yeah, I guess I'm going. Pie Factory Podcast will NOT be there as a vendor, but we might do something. What? No idea. Now, this sounds weird, but I might want to get a bunch of people together in my room for a quick (like ten minutes) recording session to sing a chorus of "O Holy Night." (I'm serious.)

wallydawg Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Was feeling wistful so I read a few past mgc threads so This one goes out to all the 2013 attendees.

They released an email stating it's still on but with more precautions. A group the Wisconsin Center is with relased a statement that events are still happening and that cleaning is ramped up. I wonder, if all goes as planned, if the attendance will be less and by how much? 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/300728-midwest-gaming-classic-2020-april-3rd-5th/#findComment-4479151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dauber Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Tell ya what: if it stays uncancelled, I won't be missing. I've really been looking forward to it -- first time I've been there since 2006 as just...an attendee; it'll be nice to not have to worry about a vendor table for once. Especially looking forward to just...getting away. Don't get me wrong, I love my wife, but I just need to be by myself for a couple of days. 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/300728-midwest-gaming-classic-2020-april-3rd-5th/#findComment-4479704 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nateo Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 I imagine the outlook will be more clear by around this time next week. My home state is already going nuclear, banning large gatherings, cancelling classes, etc. It's hard to imagine others not following suit. I mean, limiting social interaction is clearly a very effective way to curb the spread of a virus. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/300728-midwest-gaming-classic-2020-april-3rd-5th/#findComment-4479915 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Kaboomer Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Total guess, but I expect it's probably 50/50 right now. I'm really looking forward to this and it's now only 3 weeks away! It's close to me, but it's been a few years since I've attended this and I'm finally free this weekend so I plan on driving up from Chicago on Saturday April 4th if it is still on. Anybody know of any good Atari vendors that usually show up for MGC?

Anybody know of any good Atari vendors that usually show up for MGC? They've been dwindling over the years, but usually you can find at least one table that has decent Atari-era stuff. I was able to pick up some CoCo stuff a couple years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/300728-midwest-gaming-classic-2020-april-3rd-5th/#findComment-4480677 Share on other sites More sharing options...
