Title: Turbo swap meets
Post by: madboom0522 on May 18, 2014, 05:29:54 AM
Does anyone know if there are meets for just turbo related items? Not like a convention for all platforms though. If not it would be kind of cool to have groups of people get together to trade,sell and game within maybe a 4 or 5 state area.... The forum is kind of part of that but to meet in person sounds like it could be more fun.... Feedback anyone?

Lots of us meet up a few times a year in the Chicago area.  Its a bit of a drive for me but well worth it!

Would turbofest in Lombard be one of those times? This July is when I think it is.

 I'm actually in the Chicago area but new to the Turbo scene. Do you guys play or just trade together? Either way that's pretty cool

Yep Turbofest at the VGS is one of them.  We mostly play though some trading / dealing happens.

We need to set up an east cost meet and greet/play session so I can slap some douche bags. No seriously tho it would be cool as heel to meet some of the people and pick their brain about tech and other stuff. Would be a blast. Chicago is like a 20 hour ride from me lol.

Its 9 hours to get to Chicago for me... though next year it will be almost double that...

East Coast would be good.  There dont seem to be too many of us my way tho here in VA.

Meet and greet/play sessions sound much better than a Turbo market.

So why don't we get a list of people on the east coast somewhere in the middle of all those who want to do this and go from there?

Where in VA are you from? I grew up in Virginia Beach.

And yeah - any folks on here that are remotely close to the Midwest should come to VGS (the Video Game Summit) in Lombard, IL; outside Chicago. It's a small show but it's typically the big summer meetup for the group here. The show is dirt cheap to attend ($5 if I recall) so you're really only on the hook for travel. A bunch of us stay overnight for the weekend, so rooms can be shared to save bucks.

The vending at the event is surprisingly decent and we basically just take over a quarter of one of the rooms for Turbob stuff + some other consoles.

I lumped myself together with Ninjainspandex & o.pwuaioc in the All the new people thread.

I know them from "The Dark Days" before finding this site! :P

NG.com, racketboy and probably Feka-16

If were the wonder twins I get to be the chick, She has more shapes than a damn bucket of water. Plus there is the added benefit of being able to fondle some large shape shifted boobs.

Winston-Salem, NC checking in (but you all know that). I'm all down for a SE meetup. I hear that AWA this year has a retro theme, but I dunno if that is cascading to the game room. I do know that the arcade area will have at least four 16-bit consoles along with 25 or so cabinets.

Plug for Animazement next wknd in Raleigh. Gonna be a good retro room, 1500 sq/f just for the old stuff. In all, ~7000 sq/f for gaming is what I was given this year.

  Cool. I grew up in Collinsville/Martinsville VA. That's on the southern boarder SE of Roanoke. Of course if you're a race fan you know where Martinsville is! :) Now residing in Lexington SC. Guess Turbokon and I are closest neighbors.
