Title: NWCGE Video Game Swap Meet in Portland
Post by: Fokakis79 on January 05, 2014, 08:23:53 PM
Anyone headed to the Portland Video Game Swap Meet on January 18th? All proceeds go toward financing future Retro Gaming Expos.

I was thinking about heading down there, just thought it would be cool to meet people in person from here.  If you plan on going let me know. 

Here is the info about the swap meet:

I'm thinking about it. I don't know if I'm super excited about going to it with PRGE in the fall and the Kelso show in the spring.

If I do make it, it would be great to meet up and say "hi." Hope its a good time either way.

Its long drive from your neck of the woods so fuel costs are high, but entry is only 5 bucks though can't beat that.

That would be awesome to meet you, hope you can make it, and maybe we will see each other in the Fall at PRGE

I'm only a hour away, I drive 1100 miles a week anyways, its not so bad  :P

I just don't know if I'm up for spending a bunch of money when I'll just be going to another show in a couple months. We'll see though.

But I'm for sure going to the fall show, met Retrorage there, it'd be great to meet you too.

Wow, didn't even know about this... Might consider going. I didn't make it to PGRE last year due to schedule conflict... so I'm past due for a Portland trip... but can I afford it...  :'(

Definately let me know if theres some meet up.

will let you know, I am definitely going I know that.  I am not bringing a ton of money to spend, I am just going to see what it is like, and to talk to people. I will probably pick up a few things but I am more into the latter.  I hope you come and if you do, let me know, maybe we can convince others to go, if more people say they are coming.

Well, looks like I won't make it. Plans aren't coming together quite as expected.

Hopefully make it up during the expo this year.

Not this time.   PRGE and the Cowlitz show are good enough for me.
