    well, you have no idea how glad I am to see hype about this already!
    I'll be there for sure, as I'm part of the event staff.
    event details are at www.midwestgamingclassic.com .
    The event is june 9th and 10th - though if you come into town friday night, there's going to be a killer pre-show party. =D

    I'm bumping this....because, well I want to. I can't wait til June (10th specifically). Up until about 2 months ago, I was sure I wasn't going to be going, simply because of a lack of interest in gaming as a hobby, but not so. I went last year, bought a ton of stuff, kicked some ass on Marathon (my picture is in MWGC '06 thread buried somewhere here, taken before I was even a member of the boards.) Myself and probably 4+ friends are going, it's going to be a blast.
    I am teh winnar of the internet.

    I will probably be there (unless something stupid pops up) as I'm only a hop, skip and a jump away from the event.

    Ecresto: You'll love it. My buds and I were amazed when we first walked into the vendor area at the sheer volume of stuff for sale, anything for Master System to Dreamcast, Nes to Gamecube, etc. You'll have a blast, and hell, even if you leave near it, and have only $10 in your pocket, it's worth it to just get in and look around for the day.

    When the event is coming near, expect pms from me to some of you saying you'll be there, just so that I can say that I "know" people on the boards. Hopefully we can meet up and check out some stuff together or something.

    (And I'm glad I got so many more people to see this from my bump.)

    Edit: By the way, Arasoi, if you're there, you had BETTER bring those SOTN banners.....

    Actually, we're planning on doing something that should really help everyone meet up at the show. At the entrance to the halls, we are going to put up two boards (we're hoping for corkboards, but something like that) where you can leave notes to your friends or for whatever, so they can find you at the show. It will be totally free to do, and anyone can put up just about anything they want (of course, as long as it isn't profane or lewd). So, at the show if someone wants to make a DP meet-up area, just stick up a post that says when and where you'll be meeting, and everyone check the board for it when you arrive!

    I can't wait! We've got a ton of announcements ready to go, and I'm getting more and more pumped for the show every day now! Hope to see you all there!

    Moreover, I have a lot of really unique and unusual stuff set aside that I will also be bringing like import magazines for PC Engine and Sega Saturn, soundtracks, strategy guides, etc.

    I've requested electricity so I hope I can hookup a TV or two to allow people to try out games and systems in my booth.

    I really like what Dan (of Goatstore) is doing with the MWGC and I am really glad to have the opportunity to be a part of it.

    This is a good idea, but I think an even better one, in terms of helping people meet each other, would be official MWGC Name Badges. Especially as many gamers aren't especially outgoing in person, a basic badge that simply listed a name and an online handle might help two strangers quickly realize that they have known each other online for years. It could be as simple as a black and white bage insert with 3 blank lines:

    Name: _________________ (Actual Name)

    AKA: __________________ (Handle, ie: Goodwill Hunter, Goatdan, etc.)

    On: ____________________ ( Digital Press, Atari Age, etc.)


    You could also add the event logo, offer a preprinted color version as an incentive to preregister, and even have the things pay for themselves by charging sponsors a small fee to have everyone wear their logo for the day at the bottom of the badge. Not sure what others think, but it would sure make it easier for me to introduce myself to others if I spotted a familiar handle pinned to an otherwise stranger's shirt.

    By the way Dan, I just found out that my catalog print date is June 12th (in state), so I should be able to attend again this year...please let me know if you'd still like that big orange demo console in the museum, or if you'll be needing any extra TVs or monitors.

    Looking forward to the show,

    Well I am for sure going to be there. Just arranged 2 weeks off work payed vacation June 1-15. Driving to Illinois to pick up forum member Mills, and off to the show the 9th and 10th.

    I was able to get 3 big tables to put the Castlevania collection on, it wont be enough for everything but I plan to cycle stuff out and change the display randomly, to keep it interesting.

    Can't wait!

    I plan to be there too. I took off work (the wkend) specifically to go. I planned to go w/ aceaerosmith & his fiance, but they backed out, so now it's just me & my wife, & I'm dragging her through all the exhibits/rooms again.

    We went in '04 & had a good time. Got a list started already of what I'm buying there.
