DAng. I wish I didnt live in gay wisconsin, then maybe i could do fun things like that.

[tholly]

shit, philly is only like 1 1/2 - 2 hours from me.....looks like i might have to take a trip

[calthaer]

Is it still called Philly Classic, or are they talking this year about turning into something dumb, like "Phunky Phun" or "Groovy Game Expo" or something that smacks of mediocre 90s-ness like "Game Jam," a name that almost wants to make me say:

DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY!

No, j/k we'll see how March is with scheduling for me...might be a wedding going on that weekend I have to check.

[djbeatmongrel]

if i can convince the rents to give me cash as my b-day present a month before my b-day (late april) i'll be ready, i really dont want to miss it since philly is only like 30-45 minutes away

[GrandAmChandler]

tholly - If you live that close, you better stop by!!


Calthaer - Nope its still Philly Classic, no Game Jam here, I know your location I hope you can make it!

[kainemaxwell]

Love to go, big possibility for me.

I think this thread belongs in the Events forum.

Okay, I can't make any guarantees set in stone. But since I am a resident Pennsylvanian, and Philly's about a 2-3 hour drive from my house... there is a fair chance of me attending. We'll see if school, family, or any other interventions will prevent me from showing up, but if the skies are clear, then I'm good to go!

[jerkov]

I live about 20-25 minutes from the Valley Forge Convention Center, and I've been to the past two PhillyClassics (I wasn't even aware of the event until the 3rd one came around due to an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer); needless to say I'll be there, and looking forward to it.

BTW, the convention center is actually located in King of Prussia, not Philadelphia. I live right outside of Philly, so the event is actually about 20 minutes or so outside of Philly.

I'd have to say I HAVE to stop by this year. Living only roughly a half hour away what excuse could I possibly have to not experience this? Should be fun Anybody here setting up tables?

Yes you do! You have no excuse! Just kidding! I'[m glad to see there are people as exicted as I am!

-intro9, I will have my tables there, stop on by!

[Drexel923]

I am also not very far away but I do not know if I will make the trip. Is there a good variety of stuff from vendors? Also are the prices reasonable? I don't want to make the trip only to see a bunch of Mario/Duck Hunts for $20 Also, recent drama has kinda put me on the fence...still plenty of time to decide.

[TheSmirk]

I'll definitely be there, and I'm bringing the third DP board member from DE with me as well!

Oh, Grandamchandler, the dates are the 20th and 21st of March, just wanna make sure people know.

WOW!

My goof guys, it IS the 20th and 21st! I must have said the 19th, cause thats when vendors setup is. Whoops sorry!!

I'm still pretty ambivalent about this year's show, I have to admit. Last year just didn't seem as fun for some reason, and with the inane stuff that went on a few months ago I'm a little off-put about attending. On the other hand, it is a good chance to play some games, see folks I don't see elsewhere, and discover cool stuff I never saw before, so maybe I'll go again after all. And I'd hate to break my streak.

[GrandAmChandler]

I just added all the latest game release announcements for PC5 at the top, go check it out! What to spend my money on? too many decisions!! Ahhh!

Hey there,
Just because I am a stickler for correctness, just wanted to let you know that Cassidy Nolen did not "write" Polo or Frog Pond, the games were written by Atari programmers back in the day. Just didn't want anyone to think he was claiming he'd written the games. You can get more complete info about the game release at www.atarionline.com.

my mistake!
