Albert Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Just a heads up, I created a 2016 PRGE Forum earlier today: 2016 Portland Retro Gaming Expo Last year I made quite a few AtariAge badges for people. I'm curious what these badges will look like? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even funner fact: because Rev sends so many nudes to Lathe, they'll all be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freewheel Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 That's the one I was planning on booking tonight. Royals fans discount? Nope, but you reminded me. I checked the rates tonight and they're super good - around $150 all in for a boutique hotel that close is a steal if you ask me. Use promo code STAY20 if you're there for 3 nights, for 20% off. I just modified my reservation and saved about $100 USD for the trip. I owe you a drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he's really pale so he's mostly invisible, in case the badge accidentally flips over to the other side as they are wont to do. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a Dad's getaway.. or better yet, it'll be a business trip... yeah. lol Have fun everyone... can't wait to read about the event and make sure to post some pics!

freewheel Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Yep, I'm staying for 3 nights too Fun fact: the rooms all have fridges. Nice to store up some roomside pops, if you're into that kinda thing. If it wasn't forced valet, it would be one of my favourite hotels in the west. Fortunately we mostly do walking during the show.

freewheel Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Hmmm. Not thrilled about the forced valet. Not sure I want some kid driving my new ride. It's one of the better valets I've seen (it's a tiny place, really, and the parking is literally right outside the door) but I hear ya. I just generally dislike valet. Problem is there's little parking in the area, so many of the places resort to valet-only. Some people claim they have success with on-street parking on the block. And you simply can't beat the walk across the street to the show. I thought we were the only ones who'd have a car, but I guess a number of people are driving this year.

Albert Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Thanks guys, just booked a room at the Eastlund, that'll be very convenient. Edit: I'm also not crazy about the forced valet, but parking is a huge pain in the ass in Portland so I'm not going to complain too much. Unless they scratch my car or otherwise damage it. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the official PRGE badges will be fancier than mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
