If you missed the entry period... SORRY!

FIFTY Roundtable members entered this contest, and one will reap the ultimate reward, a trip to Las Vegas to attend Classic Gaming Expo on July 28th and 29th with all kinds of "extras". The LIVE drawing will be held on Sunday, April 1st at 8pm EDT. It's not an April fools' gag... it just happens to fall on a good day for all of us to run the results :)

There will be other prizes drawn that day, so even if you don't win the trip, you may win other gaming stuff, certainly worth checking out. Per tradition, myself and my wife will draw names from a cup on live webcam, and we'll also be on IRC chatting live through the event. You can keep track of the action via the video, the chat, or both!

DETAILS:
The LIVE camera can be accessed here:

See ya's on Sunday.

Just to make ABSOLUTELY sure... we don't HAVE to be there to win, right? I'm workin' Sunday night (closing shift at the store) so I can't witness the happiness that would be the immediate-winnings of stuff. :-(

I don't think so.
I won something (albeit, it wasn't the grand-prize) from the last drawing and I missed the live show.
I'll probably be watching the drawing, keeping my fingers crossed. :popcorn:

Oh cool! CONGRATS RETROZONE! My computer is a MAC and I cant access Irc or I would have been there. And my connection was SO slow that I saw his name, qbertandernie, and drexel923's name drawn. I guess all of the names and what they won will be posted sooner or later.


Thanks!

CONGRATS to RetroZone who won the grand prize!

As usual there were other prizes, I think most of them worth the price of entry in and of themselves.

Great job everyone. Congrats to all of the winners! I am for sure coming again this year with my wife. I feel like I'm a 14 year old kid waiting for the new Final Fantasy to come out.....JULY!?

The above picture with joe eating the slip of paper was probably the funniest screen capture I've ever done. Um, the funniest AltairBoy has ever done. Whatever. :embarrassed:

Small update: was anyone but me wondering who RetroZone was? Turns out I got the handle wrong - RetroZone was in the PayPal confirmation but the actual user/handle here on DP is "bunnyboy" and he/RetroZone are also scheduled CGE exhibitors.

We may run another drawing - would there be enough interest? Could we get FIFTY more entrants?
