Janice 8-)

[Quazick]

mmm....Janice.....*drool*

[IGotTheDot]

I will be there. I have been since 99 and it mostly gets better and better. I missed the auction the last few years, but it was back this past year and it was cool! I don't know what my must pick up will be this year. I will have to think about it.

Oh and the playing blackjack/winning money/go upstairs and buy more games is great too.

I am there!

[Six Switch]

This will be my first time.Just look for the youngest person there,it will be me. :-D 8-)

[Sniderman]

Great! Looking forward to meeting you Janice! I'll be sure to say "Hey."

How 'bout you check out the PhillyClassic show this March, and say hello to us East Coasters too! :D

[digitalpress]

Ack, I hadn't even considered dragging J-Nice to Philly with me :)

Thanks for the heads up!

J, if you read this before we talk... we'll talk! Also, I converted this to a POLL, let's see what % of people here can go. We'll have the big bash and the name tags and whatnot like last year, for sure!

[digitalpress]

Oh yeah, by the way... I'll be there. 8-)

I would have never guessed it... ;)

East Coast/West Coast---there is enough of me to go around!

[K3V]

I'll be there, if all goes well. I plan to have a NUON setup in the JagFest section :)

[Stark]

The odds of me coming to the CGE this year is slim at best. I may give it a second thought though. 8-)

[Atar1G1rl]

Michael and I will be there. Vegas is calling to me already... I must remember to unlist my phone number. ;)

[punkoffgirl]

Well now, I think I HAVE to go! It'll be a DP's Angels meeting at last!! Bring your cameras ;)

[Iron Monkey]

I'm sure I'll meet your Japanese girlfriend if I haven't already, but nevermind this "if you see me say HI". We're easy to find and many of us even have pictures online here, whereas we don't know what you look like.

So. YOU find one of US and say HI.

Nyah.

I will definitely be there again this year. Last year I arrived two days early (thanks to my marathon driving) and I stayed an extra day after. The hotel even gave me two free nights, which I used to pay for the friday and saturday nights. Mmm, all the blackjack, games, gamers, and tom collins a guy could ever want! You bet your britches I'll be back!

[Raedon]

I'm coming and dragging some friends with me.. one collects arcade machines and the other collects star wars toys.. ;) We are flying up Thursday and leaving sunday. Got a room somewhere in that hotel.. who knows where lol.

[8bitweapon]

i'M SOOOOOO THERE!


8BW :P

[RetroYoungen]

I'm almost certain I'm going, I just need to get through my ENglish class without too much more conflict. My 3rd, and it's getting better and better every year!

[Tempest]

Due to some recent events I probably won't be at CGE this year. It's not that I don't want to go, I've always had a good time at CGE, but certain things have happened lately that would make me feel rather "uncomfortable" there. Sorry to let everyone down. Things could change, but sadly I don't see that happening at the moment.

Tempest

[digitalpress]

Aww, I'm sorry to hear that, Matt! We'll miss ya. There will be lots of pictures posted here so hopefully we can capture the event so it will at least feel like you were there.

Speaking of which, I'm glad that there are lots of new forum people attending this year, we really do need to take a giant group photo!

[tynstar]

I should be there at least one day. My fiance's birthday is on Aug 10th. But she said we could go to Vegas. So hope to see you all there.

[boatofcar]

I'll be there with fiancee in tow, already got the plane tickets and the rooms reserved at the Fitzgerald. Woo hoo!

[Phosphor Dot Fossils]

I'll be there. Don't say I didn't warn ya. :D

[Sniderman]

Well, what are these I have clutched in my hand? Why, they look like non-refundable airline tix! Looks like I'm officially financially committed to going.

Joe, I'll be arriving 7 p.m. on the 7th, so put me to work that night and on the 8th. I'll be flying out late, late on the 11th, so I can help tear-down as well. Looks like you have another indentured servant this year. :D

[Pablo_Diablo]

i'd love to go but i'm in toronto canada so vegas is a far away and distant land for me.
however, if someone from the greater toronto area was going and just happened to have an extra seat for someone to chip in for gas money...i would seriously consider it.

[ianoid]

Finally, got my pass, got my hotel room. Now to arrange some Vegas hookers! You got to start early with that because they need to get a head start on washing up.

Matt, sorry to hear you're 'uncomfortable.' Try changing your undies! There must be some lab loaners stuffed in there O_O

[Anonymous]

Don't worry, Jet's full of it. All the death threats are as hollow as a Jerry Bruckheimer plot.

[Tempest]

Haha... I wish that's all it was, death threats I can handle. Unfortunately there are other much more sinister reasons I'm not going that I won't discuss here. Let's just say that the people responsible know who they are and they're not fooling anyone.

Matt, why do you speak in riddles? I'd like to know what "sinister reasons" you've got! If someone didn't threaten your life, what is it that would make you uncomfortable at CGE? The music? Sean's feet? It's the spokesmodel, isn't it! Come on, quit it with the mystery already. Out with it.

Time for another installment of your & my most favorite soap opera ever, "As The Stomach Churns!"

[CX2K]

I have to agree Matt. If there's something sinister going on, you should alert the organizers as to the problem so that they can take care of it. That would be the right thing to do as a responsible member of the community.

I also agree about the riddles. For someone who talks so much, you never actually say anything. Instead it comes across as if you're someone who's purposely trying to cast a dark cloud over CGE, which I'm sure is not your intention.

So spit it out brother. :)

Can I jump in here and mention that I bought my plane tickets AND my CGE ticket last night? :D

w00t! Looks like a good part of the Digital Press Executive Committee will be present. I'm really looking forward to introducing you all to the alumni - this year looks to be even more "legend friendly" than ever. You'll see!

[Atar1G1rl]

Yup, finally got my tickets for the show a couple of days ago for Michael and myself. Thanks for extending the discount, Joe! ;) It will be so nice to finally meet all of these people that have been a part of the board since way before I joined back in December 2001 on ezboard! Real faces with the names and the on screen personas. I think it will be a blast as a CGE newbie! Nice to have a place where everyone is welcome and has an overall common interest. :) Better start saving my pocket money again...

[punkoffgirl]

Well, I bought my CGE pass.. It's a start, anyway!
I'm working on getting in some major overtime hours at work next week, to pay for the plane ticket. Looks like I'm leaving the room to last! I'd have both the room & the plane ticket taken care of this week if my car hadn't needed so much work!

[Six Switch]

Sent away for my CGE tickets last week.

I am coming in on that Wednesday or Thursday,I may be young but I could help setting up too DP.

[tynstar]

SHIT DAMN PISS.

Stuff came up and I will not be there, At least next year it wont't be on the same day as my wife's (will be by next year) birthday. Oh well.

[ozyr]

Wasn't planning on going, but found a nice deal on plane tickets. I will be there for sure!!! Can't wait to check out the INTV handhelds, coleco game pack, and other stuff that will likely be announced. Plus I get to meet up with the big wigs (If can find them all - I wish they gave out special name tags that really stood out, as I don't know all the programmers and such).

[digitpress Jim]

Nothing in this world can stop me from being at CGE 2k3 this year.I cant wait,Im walking on pins and needles.This year is going to be sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun. :D :D :D :D

[angusjake]

I booked off the time and really REALLY hope to be there this year. To prepare I am practising at the all-you-can-eat buffets in my area.

[DDCecil]

I won't be able to make it this year after all. I had sooo much fun last year, and it's a shame I'll have to miss it...

[Gamemaster_ca_2003]

I wish I could but I just don't have the money to go to CGE.

[Steve Woita]

Hi,
It's Steve Woita here & this will be the 1st time that I'm going to try & sell my latest game "Clickum" for the PC at CGE in Vegas....There will only be 40 copies made that are labled "Special Collectors Edition" on the DVD case that's package to hold the CD....I'm going to have them numerically signed... 2/40 , 3/40 etc... I tried to make the game the way I used to make them, which was easy to learn & hard to master & I used some of the art style that was in my 2600 games TAZ , QuadRun, Asterix & Garfield. I'll be selling these for 20 bucks cash & carry 1st thing Sat morning after my talk is over....Hope to meet you all at CGE! Take care...

Steve Woita :D

[sku_u]

If it were possible for me to be there, I would be in a second. Here's to this year's CGE being the most successful ever (until next year's).
