+thanatos Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Ok, I have AA/Atarifest badges for the following people: bassguitari carey85 crazyclimber goatdan Dan Iacovelli jbanes lapetino longhorn macbthpsw (yours also says Commodore Sucks) mookighana swingtown tempest the.golden.ax vectorman Please let me know if you're missing from the list, or would like to be added the last minute. Also, feel free (in fact I encourage) you to bring any of your own games to play on the consoles/computers there that you'd like to share with other AA members. I need to check what time the afterparty will start, as I have to coordinate it around another private one going on in the arcade hall. I also encourage you to bring snacks/drinks/whatever to share with your fellow AA members. I'm not on the list... But I'm also the guy bringing the CoCo setup... So that might be a conflict of interests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.golden.ax Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 I'm a little dissapointed. I could have flown in to Chicago or Milwaukee, the NWGC website said 25 miles from both locations, so I picked the one with the shorter flight time. Turns out its 106 miles (2 Hours per mapquest) major bummer. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 BTW if anyone wants me to bring something specific from my trade list, let me know. I'm bringing the big stuff, but I'll have to leave some behind due to space reasons. I do want to get rid of this stuff though... http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=1652911 Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Same goes for me, anything you see on my for sale thread or eBay, I'll be happy to bring. I'm really hurtin for some spending cash. I know I'm going to want half of what songbird has AX Edited March 19, 2009 by the.golden.ax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out its 106 miles (2 Hours per mapquest) major bummer. Aw crap, I see where the confusion came in. That was a copy and paste from the Olympia's material, it is supposed to be saying that once you get to the 894 interchange in Milwaukee, it is 25 miles from there. Sorry about that. I'll edit the site slightly to fix that tonight. Still glad to see you coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly if my upgraded car rental turns out to be a Stang or an Impala like they promised me I'll appreciate the 106 mile drive. been driving a mini-van for the last three years... long gone is my 91 camaro.

Longhorn Engineer Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Oh on Saturday at 1:00pm swing by the BenHeck table thats when the Video mods will be show cased. I will have my modded Heavy Sixer there, a prototype 7800 video mod (not quite perfect), and a couple kits to look at. Also I will have some future portable renders for people to see.

Tempest Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I'm leaving as we speak. My car is loaded with goodies (please don't make me take them home!) and my wallet is loaded with cash (sadly I know I won't be taking that home). I don't know if anything is going on tonight, but I'll definitely be at the parties on Saturday. If you want to say hi, just look for me around Ian's (Ianoid's) table. I still look just like my picture from the AA Picture thread, so I'm hard to miss. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianoid Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 If it's not too late, I'd love a badge with the AA peeps. BTW, if anyone comes up with something fun to do at night (party?) tell me at the show or PM. I'm not a partay animal, but it might be fun to have a few beers or play games with folks. I'm leaving in a few minutes to head up there and set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawdledotcom Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Hey, if you guys grab me, I'll definitely get the first round of beers for the AA crew at the afterparty. I'll be wearing a bright red Nintendo sweatshirt on Saturday. (Long-time lurker, finally registered half a year ago around the time of Dan's event in Lombard.)

+thanatos Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Having a blast so far, and met a bunch of AA members. And for those of you that missed karaoke at the hotel bar last night, I did an amazing drunken rendition of "Chocolate Salty Balls" by Chef.
