    Default Any collectors from the chicago/chi suburb area?

    I thought it would be fun to find people in my area who are into the same hobby. I would be up for general chat about collecting or video games in general. Feel free to message me on aim or msn.

    You should check out Videogames Etc in Norridge, as the owner, Sean Kelly, occasionally hosts get-togethers at the shop -- people bring their trade boxes and talk games into the night.

    I'm from Lansing, IL, which is on the border of Indiana. It's about 20 minutes away from Chicago itself.

    Although I don't do as much collecting anymore (I'm in the competitive fighting game scene), you might want to consider going to Galloping Ghost Arcade. The workers there are really nice and they actually build a lot of their arcade cabinets from scratch, so there is definitely an interest in video games with them. They're very knowledgeable and courteous (for the most part...there were two guys that worked there that did not appreciate the beating in MvC3 ^_^ ).

    Here's the site:
