RF Generation Message Board

http://www.midwestgamingclassic.com/

The Midwest Gaming Classic is fastly approaching. It is being held March 21 and 22 at the
Olympia Resort Center in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

I will be there, as will OatBob from the forums. Who else is gonna go?

OatBob and I have a room booked at the resort for the weekend and are open to letting other RFGen members stay with us, as long as you're willing to split the cost of the room evenly. The rooms are $90 per night, so if two other people stay in our room, each of us would only pay $45 total, which of course means more money to spend on games at the convention! :D

If you're interested staying with us, send me a PM and we'll work out the details.

Also, if you're going, leave a message in the thread. It would be nice to set up some kind of gathering for RFGen community members to actually meet each other and maybe play some games.

I will be there as a vendor again this year. I don't really have a name that I am selling under or anything, just a local collector selling games, but if you can find me make sure to say hi.

Sweet. Let us know where you'll be there.

I'm only 1 - 2 hours away, and my dad said he would take me. So I'll probably be there too. :D

I can go with too...? :P

That sounds awesome!! I wish I lived anywhere near that. You guys should post some pics of the whole RFGen gang together somewhere at the event. That would be cool to see!!

I'll order a t-shirt just for that purpose! :D

That sounds awesome. Shoot a video while you're there; that would be great. :D

Yeppers! I say that we should totally have a RFgen group photo, and get some T-Shirts to wear there. That would be totally awesome!

Hold on, we have an RFGen store? And Rob, as I asked before, I can go too? :P

Stop asking dude! I need to find out first! And you have to pay for your own ticket if we even go!

I know... I know... I just never have the opportunity to go to these things, and stop yelling!

Yes, we have a store: http://www.cafepress.com/rfgeneration/
It's under the 'About' tab at the top of the page.

Neat, well I hope I'll be going there.

I'll probably be going this year as I have gone every year.  I only live about 45 minutes away and it is a cool convention.  My brother and I actually had a both the first few years showing of you video game collection, MAME cabinet, and the Commodore 64!  Make sure you stop by Atarian75's booth.  I've traded with my personally and he's a cool guy!

Thanks for the plug. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

What kind of stuff are you selling there?

Sweet, another one. Look forward to seeing you there.

Not sure if you are asking me, but I will be selling pretty much everything you see on my trade list and more. You can view my trade list here: http://gametz.com/usertab/Atarian75/tab/AllAvailable.html

Sweet, I'd go if it wasn't a five hour car ride.

Every year I say I'm going to go but I never do. This year I'm not going to go.

I guess we'll see you there.

It's six for me. :D

Does that mean you are going to go seeing that you said you weren't going to go and every year previously you did the opposite of what you said you were doing?

I'm not so sure if I'm going to go now seeing they raised the price of admission.  I remember when it was like $6 to get in.  Now it's $15.

Thats a pretty big increase.

I've found one other person to stay in our room, bringing the total up to three. I'd like to get one or two more people. Let me know if you're interested.

I was able to go a couple years ago and only had to pay to get there and back.
Unfortunatley it didnt pan out :'(

I'm definitely going to try and make it this year.us No promises

Dude, I so hope you come.

I would really like to.
Wanna swing out to MA to pick me up? lol

Don't you have a teleporter?

i used to carry it in my back pocket but now it be broked :'(
anyone know where i can fix it?

I am going to be loading up the car shortly and heading out to the Midwest Gaming Classic to set up my booth. If you are going to the show, be sure to stop by Atarian75's Retro Games table and say hello (and buy something :)). I will report back next week with pictures from the show and a finds from the show post. :ninja:

-Atarian75

So how did it go?!  Anyone have pictures?  What did you do?  Gives us info!  I ended up not going because of the price increase.  Man, I wish the MGC didn't get so popular.  It was more fun when there were less people there.

All in all the show was awesome.  Being a vendor, I didn't get to get away from my tables much. It was really busy on Saturday. I did take some pictures which I will upload as soon as I get a chance. There were a couple other RF Gen'ers at the show and hopefully they will chime in to  give a better perspective of the show as they actually got to see the whole show. Anyway, I will give my impressions when I get the pictures sorted out.

Dear lord it was SOOOO much fun. I don't even know where to begin. Let me get back to you on that. :)

I put a few pictures up from the show on my myspace page. Have a look if you are interested.

Cool pictures!

I like the banner that you made with your name to promote your booth. And that Hello Kitty Xbox looks kind of interesting too. :P

Here's a bunch of pics from the VGEvo.com people:
