AUSTIN, TX – Austin is proud to be the host city of Twin Galaxies' Texas Trading Card Premiere, where world record holders, iconic industry pioneers, video game personalities, contest winners, and legendary events from the state of Texas are to be honored for their contributions to today’s worldwide video game culture.

On the afternoon of January 19th, 2013, Pinballz Arcade is expected to be filled with hundreds of guests, including families, video game developers, inductees and honored guests all eager to experience the magic of a classic arcade and this once in a lifetime historic occasion.

A charity raffle with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society includes prizes ranging from plush animals to full console systems and unique collectibles as well as cards from the Texas Trading Card Premiere itself.

Any of you going? This is going to be a blast!

Rumor has it Crabby is making an appearance ;)

We have a sister studio in Austin - I have a feeling some of my co-workers may be going, but not I.

There might actually be a small kernel of truth to that ;)

How do I pre-order a set?

I'm trying to figure that out myself. I'll let you know as soon as I do.
