did someone say TURBOBS! Im probably going to hitch a ride on the beamerexpress

Great idea esteban!  I looked into going by train and it looks like round trip the train ride would only cost $217 (from Fayetteville, NC).  I might be able to swing this after all. 

I see there's a little motel within walking distance to the Galloping Ghost that looks to be only $43/night.  And a bus ride from the train station to the motel is only $2.25.  Very tempting.

Plus, to be honest, I don't mind the train. I can read/work/relax with electronic devices. As long as I have a beverage and snack, I'm happy .

You might be hitting Penn Station NYC if you take the train? HA!

I wonder if the train passes through Buffalo, NY...

I haven't checked yet. BUT IF I GO, YOU MUST GO .

We'll make the train stop in Buffalo. That's Southern Canada.

we need a cali meet

im in, im near long beach, torrance, LAX area. even if in my inlaws garage on the 74 inch tv. im down.

Dude! I used to live in Southern California... Long Beach (Tremont Street and ) and Lakewood were the closest to you. I also lived a bunch of other places (Riverside, Moreno Valley, Irvine, etc.) .

I used to walk to 2nd street and go to the Lebanese restaurant all the time.

August - GENCON -Indianapolis (HUGE E-Game arena, looking to contribute to the retro section in 2013!)
A...

I'm actually headed down to Gen Con tomorrow.  I always thought that would be a great place for a vintage gaming event.  Is retro gaming going on this year?

Yea, check out the E-Game arena.  Lots of fun!  They have a row of old consoles - NES/SNES/GENS/NEO/3DO/Saturn and other stuff... I think Jag maybe?  I talked with some of the guys that ran it on the gencon forums, and they were excited about bringing more retro/rarez stuff.  So we could see some turbob in 2013.  If you do happen to check it out this year, let me know if they have expanded it at all. 

Man I wish these things were closer.  Midway to Brookfield is only 18 minutes, but the cost of the flight + hotel for one night kills my chances. 

Check that price again through HOTWIRE.com

They usually save us a butt ton of moneys on trips.

Hotwire = $724.89 round trip.

I have been wanting to get to this arcade.  Make sure to bump closer to the date of the event please!

Yeah, there selection of cabs is quite impressive to say the least. For those who haven't seen, here is their list of games. http://www.gallopingghostarcade.com/games_list.htm

[turbokon]

Talked to the wife and we have a go:) I already put in my vacation request. Finally get to meet some of you guys.

[DHG Hunter]

Not on Facebook, but tentatively I'm interested in going.  Good chance to talk MGC before or after the event as well. 

Later.

[Retrocool]

I would love to come, I am going to try to make this one....

[bartre]

I will not be's goings, unfortunately.
life, money, women, things like that getting in the way.
I'm still in for MGC though, wouldn't dare miss it!

[roflmao]

As much as I want to make it to this, it doesn't look to be in the cards this time around.  I just started a new job and they're gonna need me sticking around for a awhile.  I'm still going to try to plan a meetup in the NC area sometime this Fall, though.  Maybe sometime in November.  Hopefully I'll have some details tomorrow.

Gonna miss having you around for this one, rolf.

Count me in though I don't know if Ash will make it this year.

Chany, do you need any of us to bring consoles/games???

Sadly, I won't be able to make this, either. I can't take the time off from work.
