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.

Also at CORGScon this year, the Columbus Retro League will kick off their second season with the CORGbuster Video Game Championship - a reenactment of the 1994 Blockbuster World Video Game Championship.

Entry for this tournament will be free, but the CRL will be selling Season 2 passes for $30. A season pass covers all entry fees for each of the 9 tournaments on the CRL Season 2 schedule (normally $5 each), as well as a Columbus Retro League T-shirt.

Hey, I'm just west of there and it sounds like fun! I know I won't be able to make it to Texas, so this might be a worthwhile alternative.
