Mirage Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Wow, I really missed a good show. Looks like it was even better than last year. Will definitely not miss it next year. I hope you all liked our little area (I live a hardly more than a stone's throw away from the MGC). I wonder what "romantic restaurant" you guys ended up at? I'm trying to think of where that could be... there's a few nice ones in Oconomowoc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Wow! Looks like a great show and great pics. It really makes me sad to think Philly was like this. I really miss that show. Great pics wgungfu. And thanks for organizing them like that. I really love that 1090XL. It's so sad that died in the prototype stage.

I know of it, but I've never been there. It's too bad I didn't think of it sooner, I could have posted a list here of good places to eat in the area of the MGC. Right before next year I'll try to remember to do that. There's a lot of really stellar (and less expensive) places to eat within 10 miles of MGC.

the.golden.ax Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yup, Kurts Steak House... Great food. The $2 refills sucked but hey, at least I only had three. I already have plans brewing for next year as a vendor. I'm going to need to nail down some help because while I don't mind being at my booth allot of the time, I wouldn't want to miss everything the whole time.

Dan Iacovelli Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 what is it that people come in costumes to these shows(it not just MGC,but it's others as well,comiccon,wizard world) Ithink at MGC they should have costume contest for the best character.

the.golden.ax Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Cosplayers. Dunno, maybe they didn't get the memo that it wasn't a costume party. I know many of us appreciated the resident evil girl, and most of us didn't appreciate the dude in the red hat dressed as a woman (come on he shaved on leg...) That's up there with the Livin on a Prayer / Back to New Jersy, Rock Band singing as the best worst thing at the show (but so freaking funny that it was awesome).

Carey85 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Ok, I just got home from WI last night and this is the first time I've had time to peruse the forums since last thursday. I did better in sales than I could've possibly imagined and met some very fine folk from the AA crowd, thegoldenax and Tempest included. I exceeded every expectation I had of the show as my first year being a vendor instead of a buyer, I had more fun sitting behind my table BS'ing and being a troublemaker than I've had in any of the years past. Thank you all for making this the best MGC ever for me! Beef Min Games 4-evar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassGuitari Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 ...most of us didn't appreciate the dude in the red hat dressed as a woman (come on he shaved on leg...) AX S/he (?...I just call "her" She-Dude) comes every year, always in a costume. Last year's was much worse though, if memory serves. I recall underwear hanging out. (I think my memory doesn't serve. If it did, it would have blocked that out. ) I don't mean to sit here and bad-mouth people, but eccentricity is one thing...She-Dude is something else. There may well be a serious mental disorder going on there, for all we know. Beyond that, I don't mind the costumes. I personally think they're a bit overkill, but who am I to judge? And even as costumes go, you could do worse than the Jill Valentine/Zombie couple. They made me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade-N-Games Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It was a great show as always! I got some great stuff for my personal collection. This show keeps getting better. Sean Kelly was behind my tables and way over was goodwill hunter. I think Goodwill hunter had the best stuff of the show, It was many years of uncherry picked games. This was my 2 tables.

Glad that some of my best stuff went to collectors I know from the forums. Trade-N-Games and I always seem to make some good trades at the MWGC. The Ghost Lion box I got from you was probably my best find of the show (If I don't count the Skitchin' manual you pulled for me...thanks again!). And I love your book!...the color photography is awesome. Most of my haul came from you and Dave 2236...not bad for someone who had to man a booth solo for two days: Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally picked up that book of yours, I really regret not buying it sooner man! Awesome book! I put it off since I own so many of them already but the pictures make all the difference in this one. Those full color photos look so good it makes me want to start collecting for systems I don't even like - lol I also snagged an Indiana Jones infernal machine box and manual from you at a great price! It is a tough one to find CIB, Thanks man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
