Who are you bringing?

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Are you bringing someone who doesn't hang out with us on the boards?

Just curious. I'm going to be meeting a long-time internet friend of mine, also one of the staff writers on my site, who I've never met in person. Not necessarily a full-time retro-gamer, but he's been known to start MAME up from time to time. I doubt I can get him "into the hobby," at least not on the level that most of us here are, but he'll be tagging along anyway. (P.S. - so everybody BEHAVE!)

So who's tagging along with YOU who doesn't lurk on the boards?

[Atar1G1rl]

Bringing along my husband Michael. He can recognize the board from across the room because I'm on it so often (and the color scheme is pretty recognizable), but he has not actually visited the forums. Fortunately, he's pretty interested in the older systems and cabinets, just not as obsessive about them as I am. Should be fun!


(remember- no mention of Spider-Man, mmmkay?)

[RetroYoungen]

I'm bringing my two cousins Mike and Oliver. My sister came with me my first CGE, and she didn't really get into it, so I had to find some alternates.

[Drexel923]

No one is coming with me. I'm gonna be one lonely guy for five hours on the plane. Well at least I have my gameboy.

[Boboduo]

I'm bringing my nephew Andrew and his friend Andrew.
Both are into modern gaming 8 bit and up.

I'm bringing my nephew Andrew and his friend Andrew.

...and their other brother Darryl?

That will seem like a fleeting moment once you walk onto the Expo floor, when you will suddenly be assaulted by nothing BUT friends!

Thanks man...yeah I can't wait. It would probably be worse if someone was coming with me anyway. Once I hit the show floor I'd probably completely forget about them and ditch them...I don't want to do that.

[MarioAllStar2600]

My cousin anthony. He has no knowledge on the hobby what so ever, but plans on buying an Atari.

[Darth Vader]

I am bringing my wife, Kim. She doesn't really get too much into games, other than Ms. Pac Man, super mario kart and kings of the beach volleyball. I was told by her that while I am at the CGE, she will be shopping and maybe gambling. Damn this is going to be expensive!

She is looking forward to it nonetheless. It has been quite a while since we went anywhere, because our kids are so young (4 and 2 years old). Can't wait to see you all there.

[TheRedEye]

I'm bringing all the surviving members from the entire lineup of the 1979 Chicago Bears. I don't think any of them are into games at all, but I kind of lied about what the "classic gaming" part meant and promised them a ton of royalties.

[8bitweapon]

I'l be bringing my girlfriend Kerry, The C-men (Julian and Tjors from hiolland), FirestARTer(Thomas) and his friend Roland, DJ Shey, and Brian Johnson (ex empolyee of Flynns!)

Did i miss anyone?...;D

[Raccoon Lad]

I'm bringing my wallet, and my lack of common sense.

[Six Switch]

My family will be there and my sister bought a pass too.I doubt she will care,my dad might go in one day or so.

[boatofcar]

I'm bringing my fiancee, who just joined the boards as MissMeow

[portnoyd]

Two of my former college roommates should be coming... neither have been to the board, but one of them has all the reason to be on here

[IGotTheDot]

My wife is coming. She likes playing the arcade games while I look at the same stuff over and over and over again, and then she says, "you're just going to buy it, so buy it already."

I'm bringing my friend Andy who is just starting to get into classic gaming. I think he lurks on here, but doesn't post. My wife, of course, and his girlfriend.
