Hats off to Thomas McLaren ( DigitalDinos ) who has done an Excellent job in past CCAG Shows especially considering his very busy schedule. I think thats why he wished Matt and I to take over.

The Show will now run from Noon to 8PM, More time for Vendors to sell and More time for Customers to buy. Just Reminding you that Vendor tables are now available. Info can be found at CCAGShow.com and click the Vendor Info link on the left. The CCAGShow.com site may be down for a short while in the near future for a hosting transfer.

[Carey85]

I'll be there with a bunch of NES games to get rid of, about 150 or so mostly unique carts.

[spoon]

I'll be there with some stuff to sell. With superball85 and some guy with a beard.

[WizDawg]

I'm gonna show up sometime. I'm not vending this year so I'll have time to walk around, buy cool stuff, drink some beers, and play games.

[Buyatari]

This one is close so I'll be there.

What are you guys looking for?

[WizDawg]

I'm looking for a PS1 arcade stick, Jakks Classic Pinball PNP (that works), Crusader of Centy for Sega Genesis.

[acem77]

I should be there.
I want to get in early sice that last time i was there i lost the chance to buy some stuff cuz someone beat me to it.
The show sure would be more enjoyable if some of the people took a shower b4 coming.

[Mr.collection]

I will be set up in the same spot (34,35) so stop by and be sure to buy something.

[MASTERWEEDO]

I'll be there, just an hour left till i leave my house.

[Carey85]

I place CCAG in the win column if nothing else for the fact that the American Legion Hall has $2 tall Labatt's and the fact that Mike and the guys who run the show aren't a bunch of assholes and let vendors and visitors do pretty much what they want within reason (drink to excess.)

[intvsama]

Shit, you had a Journey machine there?! I still have not played that on an actual cab yet. 8*(

[WizDawg]

The dude running the tournaments did a nice write up on the Twin Galaxies message board.

The tournaments and arcade gaming area was a nice touch to 2008.5. I hope they will continue this. Not a ton of games/tournaments but something for everyone. Some a-hole actually won a bottle of Billy Mitchell hot sauce and a poster. :)

[Mr.collection]

Some a-hole actually won a bottle of Billy Mitchell hot sauce and a poster. :)
Yeah with some bs score on the NWC.
I was a good show and now I am enjoying my new Uforce controller.

[Captain J]

im in for the may show! :) got my ass handed to me in the kaboom tournament :)

Hello, 1 week later and I am finally getting around to posting NG. This was Matt and My 1st time running the show and it went pretty well for the most part. We will definately have another Arcade and Tournament Area. I unfortunately didnt get much of a chance to get things setup before I got trapped behind the registration desk for the Majority of the day. Next Year I am Hiring someone to handle the entrance : ) There was alot more I had planned, but we were running behind from the get go. I planned on having Video Game Music run over the speakers and wanted to start the Game Play/Tournament area up sooner. Luckally for Matt and I Ryan completely took over the tournament for us and did a great job. A couple Twin Galaxies High Scores were set Including Atari 2600 Kaboom and Guitar Hero III Metallica's One. Lots of shirts, Billy Mitchell's Hot Sauce and other Great prizes were given away for the Tournaments and we had some Very Cool items in the Chinese Auction. The next show we will have even More Great Tournament & Chinese Auction prizes. CCAG shirts are Now available on the website www.CCAGShow.com and I put up a few pics. Unfortunately I didnt get to take any pics until the show was pretty much over. If anyone has any show pics and would like them on my site just use the contact us on the CCAG site and you will get my e-mail. Next show is Saturday May 23, 2009 12Noon-8PM. I hope all who attended enjoyed the show and I am now more prepared for how it will be run in May. Thanks, Mike : )
