+Lathe26 #1 Posted March 13, 2017 PRGE (Portland Retro Gaming Expo) is occurring on Oct 20-22 in 2017. Be there or be square (or at least as square as an Intellivision pixel from a STIC chip on a CRT). http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/ 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Lathe26 #13 Posted March 14, 2017 PRGE tickets purchased. Hotel booked. Train tickets paid for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the1hatman #14 Posted March 14, 2017 PRGE tickets purchased. Hotel booked. Train tickets paid for. I looked into taking a train but sadly there are no stations near my location. Unless someone wants to split a room, I doubt I can afford the airfare for this year's show. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need to wait another month, or so. But looking in Sept, from Louisville to Portland will be $400-450 round trip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+BBWW #16 Posted March 14, 2017 I guess I should book the hotel...sigh...I usually wing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's fly or nothing. Hopefully I can figure something out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
