I know we have a number of forum peeps going, who's all down for the show?

Coincidentally it is the same weekend of G-Fests 20th Anniv. show (weekend Godzilla convention) hmmmmmmmmmm.....anyone interested in going to that as well? (roughly 30-40 minutes away).....

ElSeven · 03/26/2013, 10:37 PM

i'll be there for sure, as it (finally!) does not conflict with pitchfork

jeffhlewis · 03/26/2013, 10:49 PM

Should be there (heavy emphasis on *should*) - gotta check the summer wedding trip schedule. or find an excuse to bail on one of the weddings, haha.

Flare65 · 03/27/2013, 12:19 AM

15 min from my house. I'll be there!

JoshTurboTrollX · 03/27/2013, 10:26 AM

Planning on attending for some OBEY!!

bartre · 03/27/2013, 10:54 AM

Balls.
i'm already gonna have to push it to make it out to octurbofest, guys.
sorry, but i'm out on this one.

though i *SHOULD* have the vacation time built up for octurbofest this year, and possibly a new recruit or two.

Bardoly · 03/27/2013, 12:25 PM

My sister and I will probably be able to make it out there for this. We are looking forward to it!

tggodfrey · 03/27/2013, 12:26 PM

I will be there.

I prefer to think of it as the grid.

But.. yes. I'm pretty stoked to get together with you guys again.

Any chance of you and Ash coming to Indy in August for a day at Gencon?

I would love to. I don't know if I can yet. How much to one day tix usually cost? We live 45 mins north of Indy so it would be feasible.

Scroll down for badges. Prices can be a bit pricey, but believe me it's SO TOTALLY worth it. Especially with you guys living close by. No $1,400 hotel prices for the 5 night stay for you. ;)

I will create another VGS thread with a flyer and more info in the next week or so. I've been bogged down by work as of late. Looking forward to another Turbo Fest at the VGS. Each year keeps getting better and better.

I have relatives who live in Indianapolis, so I could come (but probably for only one day - Thursday, Friday, or Saturday). If so, then which day would be the best for Turbo? Or, I might could just drive down early and come home late like I did for MGC.

I am not sure if Gencon actually has any Obey. Though if Josh and myself go it will surely be there in spirit. And if Bardoly goes then, well, Turbo might just come to rule the roost.

Resurrecting this thread - checked the cursed travel schedule and I'm free and clear this weekend. 99.9% certain I'll be there.

Questions:
1.) Anyone up for splitting a hotel room (I'm *NOT* staying at the Comfort Inn after what happened last year, haha)
2.) Chany - are you setting up tourneys again this year?
3.) Who's bringing what?
4.) Anybody up for another pilgrimage to People Play Games downtown?

Mathius · 04/15/2013, 11:02 PM

I think a trip downtown is pretty much a given. I hope anyway.

I will bring whatever you need, Chany, besides TVs. I think my back is done messing with CRTs.

You know I'd be down (if I for sure make it) lol

@Mathius: Thanks for your willingness to help. For the time being, I think the only thing I could use is another AES and some games. Dan and I have got the NEC hardware covered.

@Jeff: I am glad to hear you will be making the trip again to Chi-town. I am indeed doing tournaments again this year. The tentative plan is to have the layout pretty much the same as last year. We are definitely planning on doing that Friday trip again. I had a blast year. We will iron out the details as the date draws near.

@nect: It would be awesome if you could make it.

I'm about to post a new thread on the VGS, stayed tuned.
