Classic Gaming Expo 2012... Roll call!!

[Creepy]

Hey everyone!

DreamTR asked this question in the main CGE thread but I wanted to make sure everyone saw it...

It's a bit quiet on this forum, considering the event is only three and half months away, so I wanted to find out who is going to CGE this year and maybe get a little buzz going.

So, let's get on with it... who will be at CGE this year? I have booked four nights at the Plaza but still need to register.

[RetroGaming Roundup]

The activity seems to be more on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/groups/cgexpo/

My guess is that the forum lost momentum when it was locked for a year. We are hearing a buzz from our listeners and there is certainly an excitement about this year's show, and we have been promoting it. Hosts SocalMike and Scott will both be there for sure!

[Lady Jaye]

I'm definitely going, as I already bought my plane ticket and all.

[Dan Iacovelli]

I'll be returning as well
plan on buying my pass soon

[Sothy]

I'll be there. Got a few peeps rolling in with me too.

[MeTmKnice]

I will be there with my gf and a good friend. Looking forward to the afterparty!

[ianoid]

I41!

Always wish the after party was more gaming oriented.

[DogP]

I'll be there... can't wait!

DogP

[Kemoteo]

Will be there. Have hotel already booked. Can't wait.

[Graham Mitchell]

Some friends and I are planning on attending.

[SegaAges]

Expect a cameo from yours truly. Please, bring your own pens and sharpies since last time my pen ran out of ink when I was giving autographs.

EDIT: I am going to be rocking my Jet Set Radio gear on Saturday, so don't be afraid to say hello.

[vectrexer]

maybe

[evg2000]

I will be there

[Creepy]

Well, in addition to my four nights at the Plaza, I now have paid the CGE registration fee so I also will get to join everyone for the convention. Dragging my feet this long cost me an extra five bucks, but ah well... life goes on. Can't wait... about two months to go until CGE in Vegas!!

[8bitgamer]

I've got a table for the first time this year.

[MeTmKnice]

In! +2

[rolenta]

[Queen Of The Felines]

Can't go. Not pleased.

[Eternal Tune]

I'm out as well. Sorry. Eep.

[Creepy]

well, i'll be there! by the way, what is the rule about boozin during the convention? is alcohol allowed in the convention area?

[Lady Jaye]

Can't go. Not pleased.

Damn. :( Was looking forward to seeing you again, Kris!

I'm starting to count the days till the big day, it's coming fast! Only 5 weeks to go!

[Oldskool]

See you all there

[buzz_n64]

I'll be there! I hope the guys that offered me drinks and stuff, remember at CGE :P. Hope to see you all there!

gavv

Must take revenge on that Campus Challenge game from Purdue in 1991 ;) (qualified 2nd, finals canceled due to thunderstorm)

[icbrkr]

Hey, it'll be great to see ya again, Brian! You're going alone or with the family?

Just me, gonna hang with some peeps and see some shows. It's a good excuse to get out of here cheaply.

[NoahsMyBro]

I'll be there, barring unexpected car issues - we're in MT now, heading to Las Vegas next week.

Last year I took my wife, this year I'll be leaving her with friends nearby and seeing the show solo - can't wait for the after party.

A highlight for me last time was the Medieval Mayhem tournament - hope we do that again.

[syphic]

We are going. 4 of us! cant wait. Coming in on Wednesday morning.

[recycledgamer]

Leaving Wednesday morning from Portland with a van full of gaming goodness.

I ask the thrift stores and flea markets between here and Vegas to kindly put out the good stuff.

[PapaStu]

[Sothy]

Some Atari Age dude beat me down at MASH last time. I want a retry for that tourney.

[TheRedEye]

I am going by myself for the first time since 1999, so please hang out with me ok

[Frankie_Says_Relax]

Fuck that, I want to see you play Alan Alda or Jamie Farr in M*A*S*H* for the 2600 ... are either of those guys local to Vegas? Can we make that happen?

[Lady Jaye]

Yeah, and if you then beat Alan Alda, you can go all "take that, and your Atari computers!" :P

[TheRedEye]

The Plaza got expensive so I booked at a motel down the street. According to reviews I've read the towels have blood on them.

If anyone wants to rescue me from BloodTowel I promise I will be a good roommate and pay my share and not snore.

@_@ YIKES!

Frank,

Plaza just sent me a code for free nights you could try: CPPR012 It says sun-thurs free, and $55 for Fri and Sat.

How does this work? And could it be used for current reservations?

Did you use the CE promo code?

[TheRedEye]

Code is non-transferrable, you'd have to book it yourself. Thanks for trying though!

[MeTmKnice]

Anyone going to be in town Thursday? Possibly have a spare bed til we can check in friday? Me and gf are thinking about heading down after I finish my final. And, do not really want to spend the extra $$ for an extra few hours in the hotel if do not have to

Did you actually use the promo code from the cgexpo.com website for plaza room reservations? Very reasonable, and you do not have to drive anywhere.

[Sothy]

I think I can Take Alan Alda at the helicopter part but the surgery level is a bitch.

[WizDawg]

I'll be there again. Flying in Fri afternoon. Hoping to make the after party. Last time I won the poker tourney. Anybody up for some Tetris action?

[Blitzwing256]

Since the rooms were so cheap I decided to book for saturday/sunday (even though I'm local) i'll be driving in around 6/9 in the morning!

[MeTmKnice]

Here! In room 516. Ill be wearing game shirts all weekend. And have my one and only yellow moobys visor.

[buzz_n64]

Here, wearing black super neo mega turbo shirt.

[Anotherfluke]

Clearly I am LTTP, but I am here as well. If you recognize me, please come up and say hi, as I am terrible at remembering anything at all, but if you say your forum handle, I will remember you!
