Well, after a couple years of traveling the country and going to conventions, I've decided to throw my hat in the ring (along with a handful of other DFW collectors/gamers/enthusiasts) and will be hosting a convention at the end of the summer.
I'm proud to announce the Let's Play Gaming Expo!
http://letsplaygamingexpo.com...
The focus here is on the gaming. I was a gamer, then I became a collector, and I find myself going back to the gaming again.
As of now, we have around 70 arcades confirmed, and a national Smash Tournament that will be streamed live. I'm in talks with Tusk about a Tetris tie-in, and I'm also talking with the Tecmo guys about setting up a tournament. I've been told we have a healthy Tecmo community here, so I'm pretty pumped about that.
There will also be free play consoles and I'm hoping to have a hall of crazy/odd games like MACS, Typing of the Dead, probably a Power Pad or two. Table space for the card gamers. And not to mention vendor tables!
I'll keep people posted here, probably daily like an asshole to help get the word out on this thing, but I'd like to get some all of NA to come out! I talked with Dain, and NA will have a booth there. I will be selling all my doubles... that's right, everything I have that is a double will be sold. There's a couple other guys I've already talked with about setting up shop, and I'll reveal them as they come along. Right now, I know DivingNinja and myself will be the NA team, for sure!
Well, I started the grill and it's time to eat dinner, so I'll leave this here to get the ball rolling. Prices to follow, as picking out someone to take everybody's money is a sonofabitch. We're in the process of haggling, but I have a feeling Paypal is going to win out.
Let's Play, mang!

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the
Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Oh, my
WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching*
price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between
Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my
FT/FS/FO items.
