[digdug]

What happened to this years Cinci Classic? Is there not going to be one? Or is it just delayed for now? I saved up alot of money for this years event boo hoo. Guess I'll goto the Philly Classic instead.

[Oobgarm]

Check out the Events & Gatherings forum, there's a bit of info as to what the CinciClassic organizers are doing.

[DreamTR]

Is this thing still dead?

[Big Player]

Great news! I'll be there just like I was in 2002. Too bad we had to wait three and a half years.

[vgc]

Sounds like a Party. Ive had fun at the past ones. Beer is always good. Mike : )

[icbrkr]

I was there in 2002 before I knew anyone here :) Looks like Sangdrax and I will be making the trek up there next year. Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you finally.

[Kamino]

is this event ACTUALLY going to happen? I mean, I need REAL confirmation besides an out of date website before i trek to ohio. It'd suck if had to drive all the way to ohio just to kick spoon's ass for drinking my chocolate milk, and drive back to wisconsin....

[Eternal Tune]

I'm up for it! Its a few days before my birthday, so maybe if I cry/whine/beg I can convince Jaime that she should come and entertain me for my birthday. Then we can convince Scooterb to sneak out of the basement....

Good times will be had.

I'll go GET scooter if that's what it takes.
And you guys know how cheap i am with petrol.

[icbrkr]

It's been updated on their page.. still April 7th/8th. I'm going to make it, and I'll be crashing at Scoot's house (oh btw Scoot, I'm sure this is the first you've heard of it). Be sure to stock lots of goodies for us.

[bigdaddychester]

I'm pretty sure I'm coming for that weekend. I believe Downfall will be there too. I have a friend who lives outside of Cincy and we'll be staying at her place. Anyone else?

[16-bit]

I'll be a vendor there (3 tables) :)

[atari_overlord]

I had loads of fun in 2002. Glad this coming back. Must stop spending until then. x_x

Like that is going to happen.

[Sniderman]

Welp, I just may have to get a few tables to unload my burgeoning amount of tradebait. And you can ask anyone - I often GIVE stuff away at these things.

See you in April, Ohio-based gang!

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

This may be a sign of the coming apocalypse or something, but I might just tag along with icbrkr. Stay tuned!

[PapaStu]

Hrm..... a chance to visit wif Teh Betty and Oob. A chance to visit with Scoots. Sounds appealing! I shall commence with the talking it over.

[icbrkr]

Hey... I should count for something!

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

Hey... I should count for something!
Guess I shouldn't have mentioned coming with you, huh? LOL

[Sniderman]

I got my table. You bastards better be there. :D

[scooterb23]

I'll be there, of that you can be sure!!

[icbrkr]

Well.. it looks like I might bow out of this one.

Wife and I drove down to Georgia for a wedding and got into an accident... so.. as of right now we're stuck in wonderful Warner Robins, GA while the car is getting fixed. We have a lot of house projects (literally, the house is getting remodeled) that are put on hold until we can get back. We're going to have to work through those days off I took to get back on track.. *sigh*.

[Eternal Tune]

I'm still coming cause I have nothing better to do and I live close.

EEP.

[Kamino]

I will see you there, betty.


I'm officially coming. I need to leave my flat for a change.

[Sniderman]

Apologies to digdug, but I changed the thread's title so I wouldn't have to start a new thread.

So, who's gonna be there? I constantly hear the Ohio folks (and those in neighboring states) complaining about no CinciClassic. Well, IT'S BACK!!!!! WOOT!

Clicky for updated news and info on this year's event! (http://cinciclassic.org/e107/news.php)

So, we're three weeks away and I want to know who's gonna be there? I'll have a table set up and - ask Scooter - I'm a madman when it comes to dealing. My patented Deep Dish DiscountsTM are legendary, as is the goodness to be found in the depths of The Buck BoxTM. (If it's in the box, it's a buck.)

And, I just may have an armload of clocks in case anyone's interested. With the same Sniderman DDD found only at Cinci.

C'mon folks, let's get some hubbub brewing. Show of hands. Let's get the Ohio DPers out there this year! C'mon - DP at CC '06 anyone?

[Darth Sensei]

I'll most likely be there.

[bigdaddychester]

I'm there. Downfall is riding up with me and we'll have a couple tables.

Anyone want to get together Friday or Saturday evening?

[Kamino]

I'd be up for a friday night shindig. I'll probably be rolling into cinci around 6 or 7pm. It's a long 9 hour drive from bumshit, WI.

[vgc]

I will be there. Bring on the show. I will have 3 Tables of Stuff!!! PSP Tennis Anyone? Mike : )

[Eternal Tune]

Finally! A chance to punch you in the face for the poor copy of Suikoden II you hurt. Justice shall be mine.

Ease off, woman! I bought that copy of suiko II loose...i never HAD A box or manual for it.

[Perkar]

i am trying to make it down from MI. i have the weekend requested off work (friday night i am going to a concert here in detroit), then i'd be driving down on saturday...

i have a message left with Spoon, so hopefully the legendary DP Drunken Duo will be coming...

[scooterb23]

ask Scooter - I'm a madman when it comes to dealing

He's a madman when it comes to dealing.

/me removes all the $1 bills from wallet before going to Snider's table.

;)

[WizDawg]

I'm gonna try and make it down.

[Perkar]

talked to spoon last night, and he and i are pretty much confirmed at this point. cinciclassic 06 is going to rock \m/

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

My patented Deep Dish DiscountsTM
You should follow the Firesign Theatre's lead - Unhealable! Deep! Cut! Discounts!

Sadly, as icbrkr was going to be my ride to the show, it looks like this one won't be my first Cinciclassic visit after all. I'm just glad he and Mrs. icbrkr are in one piece, 'cause it sounds like their car is in several. :eek 2:

[Oobgarm]

Sorry again! :( It looks like it's turning out to be a kick ass get together. I still don't know when I'm picking up the car yet from Georgia but I'm glad we didn't get banged up too bad.

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

We can always terrorize the next one. Provided there isn't another gap of several years. O_O

Well, there's always the midwest gaming classic to hit.
but that's another thread.

[Sniderman]

I'm gearing up for this like there's no tomorrow. I'll have on-hand:
- a buttload of NES carts
- a second buttload of PS2 games
- a third buttload of PSX games
- A bunch of Colecovision stuff
- My usual assostment of "where the Hell'd you get THAT"s
- a few Coleco tabletop arcades for sale
- and, of course, my wall clocks which will be for sale at much less than I sell 'em on-line. In fact, just finished this newest design:
http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c151/gameagain/asteroidssmall.jpg

See the Ohio folks there in two weeks!

[Sniderman]

What's the price on clocks inperson at the show? $9?Nope. Less. Price to be revealed there. See ya!

[RalphL1498]

I am planning on being there with a table...planning on selling some old stuff...like RCA Studio II....and some Atari 7800 games

Hope see you ya there

Ralph

[chrisbid]

i cannot wait, its been way too long since the last one

[downfall]

If you haven't actually seen one of Sniderman's clocks, you'll flip! I've never seen a photo do one of his clocks justice - they look fantastic in person!

[rolenta]

Patrick Wong and myself will be there at the Rolenta Press table. And at the table next to us will be Michael Thomasson and his wife Joanne from Good Deal Games.

[Kamino]

Alright. I'll be there in a salad fingers "i like rusty spoons" shirt. If anyone wishes to get ahold of me during the show, my cell is 920-464-0245 . I will have it ON at all times.

Also: Where's the drinking at???

[Michael Thomasson]

Yep,

JoAnn and I will be there, and we'd love to meet any of you from the message boards and those that have supported the classic videogame cause over the years.

Also, GDG is releasing a new Sega CD fighting game callled Burning Fists and a Colecovisoion game, Cosmo Fighter 2.

See you at the show!

Best,
Michael

[Trade-N-Games]

Cant wait to see everyone again I will have a few tables and over 1000 games or so for sale and some trade bait!

[WizDawg]

I will be bringing some good NES games for trade if anyone is interested.

Also anybody bringing along their DS for Wifi action? I have Tetris, MPH, Mario Kart, and Atari for Warlords.

i hope to be bringing my tradebox as well (although we have a slight space sissue... 4 people in one car, with 2 tradeboxes... we'll see). i'll be bringing the DS for sure, i've got all the games you mentioned minus metroid prime hunters...

[MattG/Snyper2099]

Well, I'm one of the oganizers of the show so I'm going. I'll have two tables worth of junk to sell as well. Handheld galore I tell you! I have a little bit of everything this year and will have over 15 systems to sell as well.

[vgc]

Hey Matt, Make sure you don't party too much on Friday. Mike : ) :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: \^_^/ :puke:

[chrisbid]

im bringing some odds and ends for trade, will anyone be interested in 100 or so NES game sleeves or a Pico without a pen?

[Darth Sensei]

I'd be interested in sleeves.

[Blur2040]

I'll be there with bells on, folks...and by bells, I mean many dollars...and a DS...and some PC Engine stuff, maybe...

[chrisbid]

three of us are going, with three DSes. i reallly hope to be able to tap the download button on the DS menu and see 3450987 different games going on.

[chrisbid]

i had a great day at the show, i won the 30 person Dr Mario Tournament and got 3rd place on the tough trivia contest. I also carted home a ton of stuff, most of which i listed in my blog. after 4 years, it was great to see cinciclassic return in the way it did. It exceeded the previous shows, and i hope it will return next year :)

[scooterb23]

Agreed, it was a great time. I actually won the trivia contest! I took home an insane amount of stuff. Pics and a list will be up in the next day or two.

Nice to meet a bunch more people, wish it would have been possible to hang out a little longer with some of you though. Maybe next year.

Next time, I think I want to have a table...

[chrisbid]

woot,

i hope they post all the answers soon, the tv shows questions were what got me, but it was an easier quiz than last time with the PCBs and Atari artwork

[scooterb23]

I got hosed by those TV questions as well, I think I got 3 of those right. Unless I just randomly guessed a few correctly.

I normally would agree that this one was easier, except I'm pretty sure I scored higher last time.

[Darth Sensei]

I got home this morning at 4am. :(

I'll put some pics up later.

[den68]

I had a great time at the show. Didn't spend a ton of money but I did come home with 16 games. The best part was getting to meet a bunch of people.

I hitched a ride to the show with Sauza12 who I met through RFG and have hung out with a few times.

At the show I met:

from DP

Big Daddy Chester
Downfall
Cue Warrior
Sniderman
Wiz Dawg

from RFG

St0rmTK421
TraderJake
The Evil Leon
Douglie007
shadytool
Tekken Mastress

It was a blast and hope to go again next year.

[PapaStu]

We got to the shindig a little late on Saturday (Noonish) and after my first sweep had only spent 10 bucks on a few DC games. Oobgarm then lead us on a 3 car tour of the outer Cinci area gamestores as we (Perkar, Spoon, Spoon's better half, Kamino, Kamino's bud Mike (who i've got no idea if he has a DP handle), JJNova, Eternal Tune, Katchoo and myself) proceeded to raid many many more stores. Spoon came out with a buncha stuff from a buncha places, as did Perkar, and pretty much everyone else got at least something. We got back to the convention about 8 and hung out some with CueWarrior, BigDaddyChester and Downfall as they packed up and headed out. We all made a few last minute late purchases scoring the big bad deals and we left. At one point late on One of the organizers started to ask questions like 'Who has an Xbox', raising my hand I was then given Pro Fishing Challenge, and later got a Halo 2 Hack/Hint book for raising my hand again. It was a fun event and well worth the drive to get to see everyone and hang out for the day.

My wicked awesome scores....
Tony Hawk (DC) $4
Test Drive: Le Mans [Sealed] (DC) $6

Point Blank [Bix Box w/Guncon] (PS) $24
DragonFire (2600) $1

Dynasty Warriors 5: Xtreme Legends (PS2) $19
Pro Fishing Challenge (XBox) $Free
Halo 2 book $Free

CueWarrior or BigDaddyChester needs to get the DP Group Pic up when they get the chance too as well :D .

[vgc]

I had alot of fun at the show, maybe a little too much. im still tired, got home like 5am today. I will be putting up some pics this week on my website. It was great talking to all the fellow vendors and collectors out there. Mike : ) :cheers:

[bigdaddychester]

What a great show. The organizers did a terrific job, only a couple of glitches here and there but nothing that hampered the event.

I totally enjoyed getting to meet all the people at the show. Cuewarrior, Kamino, Scooterb23, Den68, perkar, jjnova, spoon, katchoo, Eternal Tune, Papastu, Oobgarm. Plus I got to say hi to a few "old friends" Sniderman and 16 bit. I know I have left a bunch more off the list but as soon as I remember everyone, I'll edit it.

I wanna say thanks to the vendors who were set up around us. Michael Thomasson from Good Deal Games, and the two guys from Trade-n-Games. You folks were some of the friendliest people there, and it definitely made the day go by quickly. Another special thank you to ScooterB for making a lunch run for us when we were covered up. 8-)

If you missed the CinciClassic you missed a darn good show. I certainly hope the event happen again next year. Between this and the East Coast Gaming Expo, classic gaming will always have a welcome home on this side of the country.

Now.....onto the tales of drinking and dubachery. I'm not sure who said it but I think I overheard someone under the influence say "I'm too drunk to drive, I'm sure glad Kamino can drive! @_@ LOL

pics to come soon

[16-bit]

It was a really great show! It had the same laid back vibe as ECGXPO.

...and I'd definately like to come back.

If you keep the same location next time, please put a WARNING on your website about the nearby Econo Lodge...nasty.

[Darth Sensei]

I'll post some pics tonight or tomorrow.

I really enjoyed hanging out with some of the DP folks. Big Daddy and Downfall were the shit helping me out with everything since it was my first time.

Jason from Trade-N-Games (sp?) was really helpful with pricing as was Sniderman. Both of them pulled things out of my cheap Atari box and said, "Don't sell that". :D

One of the guys (Ralph?) got a really cool Metal Slug slot machine with kick ass lcd that I wish I had gotten a pic of.

I'm still flat out exhausted from the trip and my house is in shambles because of all the preparation for the show.

It's too bad I didn't know Storm was going to be there as I really would've liked to have met him.

AGREED.
Were the outlets hanging out of the walls in your room??? Did you get an alarm clock, or did you have to bitch to get one??? and did your freaking phone work????
Ours sucked. at least the telly had a/v input.
I had a blast. Not so much at the show, which felt more like an overpriced flea market...but more so hanging out with everyone. Den68, Sorry I didn't see you there!!!
I did meet katchoo, jjnova, matt-el(well, i saw him before) papastu(again, repeat visit) cuewarrior(Also repeat), bigdaddychester, downfall, atari overlord, eternal tune, oobgarm, and if i met anyone else from DP and forgot i'm sorry - I Drank WAY too much on saturday night.
I also met a fair number of #rgvc folks - Carey85, evilkalla, rubbertoe, riff, and phanstar.

Dave and busters was cool, B-dubs rocked(had a kickarse strawberry daiquri there) and trashing that shitty econo lodge hotel room while piss drunk was AWESOME. I do apologise to anyone i drunk dialed that night. I drunk dialed a LOT of people.

[Perkar]

my account of the weekend:

http://perkar.livejournal.com/29611.html


yikes.

[Darth Sensei]

Yeah, the Econolodge was a dump. I was very disappointed. I was afraid to take my shoes off even in my own room.

the phone didn't work so I had to use my cell phone as a wake up call. I literally couldn't call the front desk and when I called it on their outside number on my cell I let it ring for 10 minutes and nobody answered. :roll:
