Huh? The place is overflowing with DP members and you're afraid you won't meet anyone? Hell, many of us come alone in hopes of making new friends and meeting new people to hang with. You should do the same.Originally Posted by Kitsune Sniper

Still Around...Still Gamin'...
I was told by Joe that it will be at the Riviera. If there was a change in venue, I wasn't informed.

Phoenix 4 coming in 2014
The only good reasons not to go are lack of money and other important obligations.
For the Celebrities pages and such, is that stuff updated for what's going down this year or is the info still from 2005's show?
Shows how infrequently I come here these days....I just read about this NOW. I am going to do everything in my power to get there!
ROCK ON VEGAS!
What Sniderman said. A lot of people go by themselves (I just might be coming alone for the second year in a row) just to hang out with other DP members. The first time I went I had my sister, other than that I knew absolutely no one (and she left after the first day, wasn't her cup 'o tea). The next year, I was on DP, and I honestly felt I always had someone to talk to. Drex, Mr. DP himself, Snidey, QoF, POG... it was just so much fun.
So c'mon, join the family and hang out! Hell, I might be able to make it this year, the more the merrier!
It hasn't been updated for 2007 yet, but expect the typical huge turnout. Most of the alumni I've had contact with over the past two years really missed having the show last year. You have to understand that CGE is like a reunion for these guys.
Also like years past we're also drafting more new faces into the "celebrities" group.
I'm just happy it's in Vegas, which makes it much more appealing a trip.

People: "Go to hell."

Mangar: "Hey guys, Wanna go to Vegas and hang out with nerds at a Classic Videogaming Expo???"
People: "We can like umm.. Go gamble, and bang bookers when we get bored of you and the rest of nerds right?
Mangar: "Yes."
People: "SOLD!"

I am thinking of going, i too see this topic every year and want to join in. It's not cheap flying from here, there's a big chance i will be there this year though.
I have honestly never gone to a CGE and have been around here for a couple years and still don't really know anybody. By that time, I will be out of college, so hopefully I can make it there and chat with some of you guys and finally meet you guys instead of me just posting comments and stuff to threads.
I am missing this year, but I am curious, will this be every other year or was missing last year the except and not the rule?
Stop by #vbender (info here) on a regular basis, and you will get to know many of us and will feel much more at home.
This year may be the right year to take a plane, spend a lot of money and come to CGE!

I'm finally going!
I got my room reserve and my airplane ticket paid!
Edit: Just order the tickets thru PayPal.

since its pretty much right down the street for me, I'm definatly going this year.
lostlevels gotta represent or somethin ;-)
Well, since it's kind of, you know, the first CGE in town since I joined the board, I kind of have to go.
.....Though it would be nice if one of the arcade cabinets present is known for shouting, "Boom-shaka-laka!" (hint, hint)
I hope there's one for 2008 in Vegas, I'll be 21 and legal age to drink!!
For European members, check with the charter flights to Vegas, I see Condor regularly at Vegas, else there's Virgin Atlantic nonstop from Gatwick. Another option is flying to NY cheap (especially BA) and connect with some local/cheap domestic flights, there're some options between JFK and LAS.
my brother just ordered the plain tickets and reserved the rooms(didn't do it via discounts page,went thru price line)
and I just registered for my attendence for CGE(yea,another tag for my chain)
my brother and sister aren't that insterested in gaming as I am.
I've never been to CGE before, although every year I tell my wife how it's too bad we're too busy, or have something else planned. All that subtley has paid off, as this year my wife got me a real surprise for my birthday: a trip to CGE 2k7! Can't wait!
