CORGScon is back again, with a new and larger location this year.  This year's show will take place at the Marriott Courtyard Columbus West in Hilliard, Ohio.  The show will run from 10am-6pm and admissions is $7.  There is an early bird hour at 9am for hardcore collectors to get first dibs on the hardest-to-find items and admission will be $10.
 
If you are interested in being a vendor, tables are very cheap compared to other conventions.  The first table is $50 and subsequent tables are $45 each.  Contact Gary Carnuche at 70gool(at)msn(dot)com if you are interested in buying a vendor table.  On top of free admissions, vendors will also get a free lunch this year.
 
Now You're Playing with Podcast will be back again at CORGScon along with guests Rick from the Intellivisionaires Pocast and Willie from Arcade USA.  We will be recording a live podcast near the end of the convention, as well as hosting an episode of Video Game Jeopardy.

Good luck with CORGS again this year.

Not too far for me, so I may try to make it out again this year.

Same here.  I have a friend that lives in Lewis Center, so maybe I can turn it into a whole weekend thing.

I plan on being there again; I enjoyed it last year.  Probably bringing a bunch of friends too.

The Columbus Retro League (https://www.facebook.com/columbusretroleague) will be hosting a tournament at CORGScon this year, going back to the summer of 1994 at America's favorite (bankrupt) video rental chain.  The original competition used stock cartridges, and the CRL will use them as well, so start practicing NOW!

I'm pumped!  These are so much fun.  Some good friends are willing to house-sit, so my beloved and I will be there!  Any of the RFG crew wanna do lunch or a meet up?
