Just a place to post about them. Id like to see what people have actually gone to one. BTW: If anyone lives near philly, PA the gamecorecon is coming up in a couple weeks. it is September 12th (4 days after my birthday )in Oaks, PA. www.gamecorecon.com . BTW: Did i mention 16-Bit From Ebay will be there and possibly AVGN?

For any of you in Florida there is a convention, the first ever one for classic gaming here and I'm psyched!!! Here is the site http://www.infinitebitsconvention.com/ and the date of the event is Oct 23-25 of this year. I already bought my ticket! I will be there with my camera and will upload videos of the event. AWA!

Hmm...Gamecorecon is a possibility for me.  It's like 75 miles away.

Man, I want to volunteer at like E3 or GDC... but that would never happen

I've never been to a convention but hopefully you guys have fun and take lots of pics!

I went to the Classic Gaming Expo in Las Vegas in 2002 and then again in 2007 (Where I official caught the Famicom bug!). They didn't have one last year or this year, but hopefully next year.

I did get to run my own little trade area in '07 for about an hour:

Last one I went to was Magfest in 07.

It jumped all over Virginia over the years

Roanoke > Williamsburg > Charlottesville > Arlington, VA

Anybody else going to PAX 09? I'll be there all three days if anybody from here wants to drop a friendly "hello".
