Hey all!

I know that some of us at the expo were talking about the CCAG show (http://www.ccagshow.com...) up in Cleveland on the 12th of October.  Who all was planning on hitting it up?  Hopefully some of the folk that couldn't make it to Knoxville, just to be fair!

Anyway, I've never been to this one before (I'm not sure how), but the pics on their site from past years look pretty incredibly sweet.  Is this usually a pretty good show?  I'd be curious to hear what you all think!

I don't see why I wouldn't be able to make this one... hope to catch some NA folk there!

I'm there. This will be my second CCAG. The first one I found a few really good deals. Most of the people there are Atari people though. There were plenty of NES vendors though.

I did enjoy me some Ross and Gringo so maybe I will ponder making the trek...

Dude, if you do, we have an extra bed for you to crash in

The 12th is on a Sunday, and I work that Saturday, so if you would like to crash here, let me know soon so I can get at least half a shift off on Saturday

I will have to check the UT football schedule and see about my work as well. I am off Sunday's always so it is possible at least.
~~NGD

Haha...isn't that just unusual? I put in for that whole week off (actually put in for it about a month and a half ago, completely unaware of CCAG's timeframe), but it was for my fiancee's birthday (the 15th) . Cleveland (Ohio) is a bit of a drive, though :/ ...

I drove 8 to come see you guys!!

October might be too soon for me!

I would love to go, just don't know about another 10 hour drive this soon to the last.

I've got a huge basement that should be close to, if not finished by then. you guys can all bring your sleeping bags...

Methinks I'm thinking about this, especially because I'd be sleeping near Ross.

Sleepover at Ross' house? This changes things! If I find a new job between how and then, I'll make an effort to make it.

maybe I can even convince the wife to spend the weekend at her parents house

Don't think the jeep can make it, but I'm not about to rule it out for sure yet.

Work has been dicey at best, and if I end up unemployed, it's probably out of the cards.

anyone want to pick up a game depot along the way...

My friend and I will be setting up at this show!!! We have some pretty radical nintendo mods that will be unvieled for the first time there!!! (I personaly think they blow customnesguys out of the water) but I am a little biased i guess(no offense custom...just having a little fun, dont hate the player hate the game haha) I found some excellent deals last time, TONS of games, TONS of fun, GREAT people...it would be amazing if everyone from the expo could come!!! I would love to see you all again...I don't enough good things to say about this convention!!

Observation: Cleveland is a lot closer than I thought it was.
Conclusion: Ask friends if they want to road trip it.

Probably too far... and too soon after the last one

Alriiiight...! I like what I hear so far! There's a couple of paychecks standing between now and then, so I should be in decent shape by the time it rolls around. But yeah, the more of you guys that can make it, the better! I'm totally in!

must resist urge to go!!

My wife would kill me!!

Shit, that's Thanksgiving weekend here. I didn't even notice.

No dice, dudes.

Yeah... I'm sorta wondering if I'm going to make it now, too (or at least in what capacity). I'm still going to try, but the storms and whatnot in Ohio left me with a pretty burly bill to get my roof patched

Awww...dont... bail on me now guys!! This show is gonna rock the house!!!
