Duke 4ever Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Atari Age mainly sponsors classic gaming events. Such as the Philly Classic, coming next week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 Yup...and Austin has an annual gaming expo as well...a bit closer to ya :wink: Check out the "Events" forum for more info...where you will see links like this one that directs you to photos of events gone by: Last year's A.G.E. Be sure to bring a swimsuit for the judging j/k The seedier side of it can be seen here... http://atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p...p=357937#357937 Thanks to MMF for the detective work about these degenerates!

+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Also, The September that just passed us last year had the 1st OKGE in Tulsa... I really wish I could do another one for this year, but it would take much more than my own pocket change to do it right. And right now I just can't do that. Hmm..suppose this should have been posted in the Events area...perhaps I will when I have a more concrete decision on this. I am toiling with an idea of much smaller grandier. Like just having a get together for the local collectors at my house for a day or something to put my Wife's car on the street and hook up the systems in the garage for a fun day of classic gaming fun or something... Just some thoughts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susuwatari Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I still wish we'd have a Michigan convention. Almost half of AA regulars are in MI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPUWIZ Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Almost half of AA regulars are in MI. Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 We should have a convention in Omaha or Kansas City, a nice central location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Almost half of AA regulars are in MI. Really? That many? If that were the case, there would have alreay been some...and nobody would bother to turn out for PC or AGE Doesn't Detroit have something anually? Or have they all been shot? j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Iacovelli Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I still wish we'd have a Michigan convention. Almost half of AA regulars are in MI. the two shows clossest to MI are The Midewst Gaming Classic in WI on may 22nd and 23rd and The 2004 Video Game Summit in IL on July 17th. Midwest Gaming Classic website: http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/ a link to The 2004 Video Game Summit can be found in my signature.

bjk7382 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Almost half of AA regulars are in MI. Really? I counted 11 just in the "Thrift stores in Michigan" post. Far from half of the regulars, but a pretty large number nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggger2 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I too have noticed many AA posters from Michigan. I would certainly support an Atari convention anywhere in Michigan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 I'd make the drive to Michigan for an classic gaming event. Now I would hope it was in southern Michigan or the Detroit area. That about a five hour drive for me. And if they have a Cinciclassic this year, you Michigan gamers could take I-75 down here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chairmonkey4406 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 How about omaha or around there or western Iowa or northern Kansas or Southern South Dakota? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cvo Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Kittylove, since you are from Oklahoma, you have gotta try to make it down for Austin Gaming Expo (AGE) this year. We had a blast last year and there will be more fun after-show things going on (we need more blackmail pics of Pocky) as well. You can get your hands on a lot of games and hardware to add to your current stash of goodies. So if you can make the drive or flight down, please do and hope to see and meet you there!

Guest cvo Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I was originally going to come up and help out with setting up PC and the AtariAge booth, but my cousin wanted to come visit me here in Austin, so I'm not going to PC this year. She'll be down from the 18th til the 25th, so there is no way I could make it up. Also I have a major software release March 31 and can't get time off to go anyway. But there is always next year!!! The goal is to have blackmail pics of Pocky at as many convention cities as possible. heheh!!! You guys will have to help me out in that area. Table props work best. Last year's was drink coasters.

Nukey Shay Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I don't think that he gave a thumbsup because she's not going...but rather because it made you cry that she's not If I'm wrong, I'll get my spear and magic helmet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Siegler Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 The thums up was for the fact that Shawn said he wasn't comming. I was hoping that Carolyn came so there would be a bowling rematch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
