Too Many Games - April 15th, 2007 - Reading, PA

[intvsama]

Salutations my good video game collectors! I said it would be a while until I did my next convention, but I was wrong! The pang of convention organizing has hit me once more, and this April 15th will be the birth of Too Many Games!

Too Many Games gets back to the foundation of gaming conventions. For anyone who came out for the first East Coast Gaming Expo way back in 2004, Too Many Games is going to bring back that atmosphere of casualness. People can just come in, hang out, play some games, shop around in the marketplace, catch up with old friends, and not have to pay a cent to do so.

Too Many Games will be free admission! We feel that going with no admission cost opens the doors to a larger amount of people to come in and join the fun and meet others in the game playing and collecting communities!

If you have a huge pile of extra gear you'd like to part with, or if you're the artistic type who would like to sell some of your video game themed art, we offer vendor tables at prices that can't be beat! $20 gets you your own little slice of the Too Many Games marketplace! Anyone who does an exclusive homebrew game release (console or handheld) at Too Many Games gets their table for 50% off!

Check out the official Too Many Games website, conveniently located at www.toomanygames.com for more info on the show, events planned, pics of prior events, and all sorts of other goodies!

This is great news. I am looking forward to the show! Is that the week after or the week before Easter?

It's the week following Easter. I made sure that I didn't get the Sunday that Easter fell on, I figured that may hurt attendance just a hair. 8*)

I worked with Chuck on ECGXpo for many years. We poured our hearts and souls into those events.

Chuck was always the biggest part of those shows (even in the literal sense) and if you're really a gamer and into gaming you should head on over to Too Many Games.

Seriously, this event and this guy are so worthy of your support!

I know I've wished this to you privately Chuck, but best of luck!

[Kid Ice]

Good, I'm glad another event is coming up. I had to miss ECGX because of last minute family obligations.

[mindlesspunk77]

fuck you parpunk! i get dibs slut! been there since year one and im a vendor nahh nahh nah nah!

Sweet! The first show was awesome... not that the last two were bad, but there was something especially cool about the first one. Hopefully this year will be great. I see you've got 5000 sq. ft... is that the same room as the first year, or bigger like the second year?

Do you have anybody lined up for bringing arcade games yet? I'll try to bring a game/pin or two, it'll just depend on whether I can get the van or not... just wondering if you've got a bunch lined up like when Todd brought all those mini cabs.

Unfortunately I can't con...vince anyone to bring machines this year. 8*) Maybe Challenge Arcade will let us borrow a machine or two. If you're willing to bring cabs I'm willing to make space for 'em. 8*) Let me know as soon as you can so I can update the floorplan.

[Vigilante]

I have no idea if I will be doing anything that day, but if I'm free I'll take the trip. It's only 2 hours, no biggie.

[DogP]

Sure... I can bring a cab or two... I wish I had a box truck or something, I'd bring a dozen :P . Is it gonna be tight like the first year or more spread out like the second? I mean... if I could convince other people to bring cabs, would there be room? And have you talked to MikeyDee (that's his user name on another forum, maybe here too) about bringing the Marble Madness and Food Fight again?

I can probably make room for up to 10 to 12 coin-ops. If you know anyone who's willing to bring down a couple cabs, by all means go ahead and ask them! 8*)

[Vigilante]

Damnit! I most likely won't make it

We have twins on the way that are due April 30th ish

When I told my wife I was going to a video game show on the 15th she has a hissy fit, it's only 2-3 hours away, geez man!

Women! Am I right? She's been pregnant for 8 months, what is a few hours of ME time?
