The MGC facebook page says it's going to be at the Sheraton in Brookfield, WI. I'm kind of bummed about it since I've grown to love the Olympia but I'm sure the Sheraton will be just as nice.
Minor point is that The Sheraton also apparently charges $10 a day for WIFI, where it was free at the Olympia (even if it was pretty crappy wifi haha).

I will be there, vending again. Should be a great time, and glad to hear it's closer to the city!
Special DP trip to Lakerz is in the works. Stay tuned for details.

I should be there. It's a convenient excuse to visit my relatives and get beer.

I'm going to try to make it up there, I want to see some more announcements before I book my trip from St. Louis.
They have a museum, right? Can you bring your own machines to put on display for others?
I'm going to try to make it in '10.
I highly recommend the show... lots of good stuff to buy, play, and do.
Anymore news?

I've just started looking around for some sort of thing to go to in the midwest region, and I think this will be a perfect first experience. I'm really looking forward to seeing the classic computers "museum" I've been told about on other sites.
Last year I spoke with Marty Goldberg about displaying systems, and he told me that he would appreciate people lending systems for the museum so he does not have to haul out so much of his own collection. Contact the organizers if you would like to contribute anything. If you're not selling, you can always work for your admission..it's a pretty low-impact gig and they give you time to wander about..

I'm planning on being there again as half of the Beef Min Games team. Actually, I'm not planning on bringing much, if anything, to sell this year. However, there is now a third member of the Beef Min team that will be selling in my place this year that honestly has better loot than I had this last time . I'm leaning more towards the idea of bringing some of my Atari items to display so that the "lol, I took out a second mortgage to buy Video Life, lol" collectors can laugh at the mediocrity of the highlights of my collection.
Can't wait..year #3 here I come.

Any more news? I'm gonna book my trip this week.
Anyone want to join up on a room? Finances will not allow me to spring the whole cost. I will be driving from Appleton and would like to stay Saturday night. I might be up for Friday night, too, depending who all shows up that I know. Thanks guys!

I would lock in your flights now. I got mine from NJ for $160 roundtrip.
Has anyone spoken in private about the possibility of DP name badges like last year? I thought that was a pretty neat thing to do (and it didn't afraid of anybody).
