Looks like I have to back out I have to use my vacation days for some family matters.
Maybe next year
I definitely plan on showing up again this year... I dropped a good $100 last year picking up NES carts I needed. I'll try and see if I can get a couple people to come along this time... the pinball machines on freeplay is enough to keep my brother entertained the entire day alone.
I'll be there. I was at the one when it was in Brookfield, forget how long ago that was. Really looking forward to making it this year, since I think I've gotten more into the collection aspect of older video games. Should be more fun this time knowing more about everything.
I was SO mad last year, cause I was planning on going, but then forgot about it over the summer. Around August (when planning for GenCon), I remember, but it was too late. It sucked waiting this long again to have to go, but I'm def. going this time!!
I'll be there!! And I'll even be helping with the show a bit with a Turbo Grafx special!
Its gonna so ROCK!!
my friends at Game Room Magazine will have a booth at Midwest Classics - so be sure to say 'hi' while your there!

I'll most likely be there. Had a great time last year.
Dangit, I'm going to have to back out this year. My living situation just suddenly changed, and my travel money has to be used for first and last, and moving expenses.
Sorry to all those who wanted to see me there, I will try again for next year.
Well, it doesn't have any of the aforementioned debauchary, but I recently created a brief edit of an MGC video that I made last year:

I ordered my tickets a while ago, but still nothing in the mail. Are these on a delay for printing and being sent closer to show date?
Saddly to say I'll be backing out this year due to the fact, that I forgot
to book my room a head of time and my travel cost wasn't worth coming because of that.
I'm however working out some details to have some Jagfest Tour shirts being sold there as well having a Tour shirt and black cap for prize being sent there
as well.
Yes they are, sorry that wasn't made more clear to you. We are planning on sending everything out in the next two weeks. If you have pre-ordered tickets, don't worry -- you will get them Along with the free lapel pin too, which will be a coupon to pick yours up. We're only making 250 of them, and they'll be $5.00 at the show, so if you want one, this is the best way to do it I think!

** Trying to finish up an overly complete Dreamcast collection... want to help? (Updated 5/3/10!) http://www.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=61333
Got the latest issue of Game Informer and I saw that the convention was mentioned for June! Pretty cool to have that listed in a national magazine.
Forgot to book as well, but I got a cheap room at a Motel 6 about 20 minutes away.
