Midwest Gaming Classic 2012

[Mathius]

I changed my plans, and gonna return home Monday morning (thanks to Blue) instead of Sunday afternoon. Still getting in Friday afternoon, I know you'all can't wait (for me)!

As I asked Blue, if any games or accessories are needed, post up! Hate to fly all the way up there and be stuck with FOUR player Battle Lode Runner 

That's great news!!!

I can provide some items if needed as well. I'm driving, so I can fit some stuff in the back of the truck. A tv, system or two, games, accessories, etc. Just let me know ahead of time.

I'll ask JD to see if he needs any more TVs. 20'' or smaller CRTs are best. Flat panels work too. Nothing too heavy.

FYI, if anyone is interested in hotel rooms for the MGC at the Sheraton, we only have a few rooms left through the online ordering:  http://www.starwoodmeeting.com/Book/mgc12

In addition, while presale tickets are now closed, there are still a few tournament presales available yet before those run out including Up to Par and the Tom Taylor Arcade Tour which I highly recommend:  http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/tickets/

Beyond that, I hope to see a lot of you at the MGC this year!  Be sure to stop in the Die-Hard Gamer room and see what a lot of your friends here were able to put together! 

Later.

F*ck to the YES.

[majors]

Are we starting the hype train now? 'cause I'm on board!

Flying out Friday afternoon, gonna get in pretty late. Where the pre-con party at?

[Mathius]

....."I hear that train-a comin'"

Most of us are going to be at the hotel Friday setting up. Once set up is complete then the tournament starts.

[Mishran]

I have a room there at the Sheraton, but I won't be making it in until Friday evening. Is there a designated spot where the turbob awesomeness will be situated?

Everything (all systems including Turbo) is going to be in the Die-Hard Gamer Room across the hall from the other museums.

The afterparty is going to be at my condo approximately 20 miles west of the con.  All are welcome to.come and play games!

[guyjin]

Barring my winning a lottery I haven't entered, I'm not gonna be able to make it this year.

Have a good time this year, guys

[BlueBMW]

Instead of staying at the hotel, my dad snagged me a cheap time share for the time covering the MGC.  But its about 20 miles west of the convention.  A few others are staying there with me, so there will be TVs and game systems IN USE once we get back from the convention Saturday night.  So if anyone else wants to stay up late playing games, they're welcome to come on down!

Dammit! I was hoping it would be nice.

[BlueBMW]

No snow = nice   I may be from Colorado, but I havent had to drive in that crap much in the last 10 years.

[Mathius]

All I know is that it was damn cold last year! I was looking forward to going outside without getting frost bite.

[bartre]

I just hope we see Crazy Mary again.

She's got to show up to try to beat all our Alien Crush scores again this year!!!

[BlueBMW]

Hahaha!  Crazy mary lol

The Knoxville MGC train has left the station heavy laden with obey!

[majors]

Who's bringin' the booze!?

Whole Foods is within walking distance...not a short walk, but do-able. I know I'll be making a run shortly after I wake up on Saturday! Now, who has some hooch for Friday night!? Or do we all hit the bar for some American style karaoke(who is bringing the PAC-K10!)

I like how this Mish cat is thinking!

Safe travels. Chooo Chooo!

[Mathius]

Drive safely, Bemby.

[bartre]

I'll be testing my shiz out today, then i'm hitting the road thursday night.
safe travels to all!

PS, why bring the beer? we are going to WISCONSIN after all.

[majors]

Everyone arrive safe? The NC train leaves tonight! Just do a little work, drop off a RROD 360 then get on that plane. I hope everything is setup by the time I get there so I do not need to do any work

Any last requests for games, controllers, etc? I have an ACD Duo that looks like it got corrupt, I wanna test it out on some systems up there. Mad-Gear is bringing a loose one for me just in case.

[Mishran]

I'm on my way now. I'm expecting to be there before 2pm today. Bringing my Core and a 19" LCD in case it can come in use at the MGC.

[nectarsis]
