Excellent!

Have you been to any events of this type before? What would you like to see?

We're really putting together an incredible line-up this year, and I'm more pumped for it than any other event that I've held or gone to already!

AW dan, now you made feel bad(are you saying VGS'03 wasn't worth it for you) <j/K>
I know what you mean though,when you take a small event make it bigger.
thats how I feel for VGS'04 because we added an extra room for game players.
(bensenville, I hope to still se you at VGS'04)

Hehehe, no. I've had fun at every event that I've ever gone to, and every one that I've hosted. I just have been floored by how well this event is coming together and how many people are ready to lend a couple helping hands, and I just feel that the 2004 MGC will be incredible.

I'm really big into doing big things -- I run a haunted house and spent the last three years working at Six Flags in a pretty major role -- and I just love seeing when something starts coming together. You can usually get a good feel about how an event will go pretty far in advance, and I've definitely got that feeling right now about the MGC

[Red Warrior]

I'm certainly interested in attending this.

Question: Do we have to buy tickets in advance? Or can we get them at the door?

You do not need to get tickets in advance. They are just being offered online because we won't have credit cards at the event to accept ticket money so if you want to pay that way (or via PayPal for that matter), it is an option.

There is a lot more MGC information coming along, so bookmark the new site and check back often! If you want to talk more about the event itself, check out the forums at the site

Man, this looks like a good time...7 hours in a car's starting to get rough on me. But I may have to try and squeeze this into my (empty) schedule...

And everyone...an embedded round of Caption THIS!



Everywhere I go...I keep getting reminded of her...

[goatdan]

And everyone...an embedded round of Caption THIS!

"Hey, two outta three ain't bad."

This caption has to do with the fact that it is impossible to fit all three of the Domes into one square picture which I spent way to long trying to do...

I've got others, but I'm sure those will come out from other posters

[goatdan]

Keep your eyes peeled everyone as there are about a million things I need to announce, but I have to find time to sit down and do it...

Also, make sure to preorder tickets to guarantee yourself a goodie bag with some excellent stuff it in. We've only got 2000 of them, and the first 500 will have some extra stuff in it, and you can guarantee one by getting your tickets early

Dave and I will be drinking heavily on Saturday night, Bud Light's will be flying left and right.

That is all.

Seriously, I'm really looking forward to the event. I think this will be a great time, plus I get to see QOF again (just talked to here a little at the CGE auction) so that will great.

Make sure everyone who goes to the event, stop by Dave and my tables. It's always nice to place a friendly face with the people who post here on a daily basis.
