If I were interested in shooting video, can I get a press pass?

-------------------------

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.

I'l have a booth there myself. It will be my first year going and of course, selling there. I will also have a small tournament space setup at my booth to help get the word out about my retro tournaments that I hold at my shop every week.

I can't wait and hope to see a lot of you NA people there. Come by and say hi to the bald guy, my name is Trevor.

Are these kid friendly at all or would I get the stink eye from everyone if I brought kids?

We'll have to see how the timing works out... maybe a new segment from The Video Game Years: 1980?

I'm still hoping to attend.

CGE took most of my money, but honestly, it had nothing on previous years of PRGE, so I'm looking forward to going.

Pat, I ran in to you at CGE but didn't really get a chance to say anything, maybe at PRGE...

Make sure to have more Brazilian NES for me to buy Rick.  Your wife liked you selling it to me.  You know you want to!

This will be the year for anyone to attend this show. Two things: I am assisting on a special project to be showcased at the show. Details in the weeks to come. I also scored a very large lot of Nes loose carts(650 different) and will be selling a large portion of the best of these at the PRGE show. The table will be setup at classics. At this time both things are for the the show exclusively so neither will be sold early. Just a heads up for collectors who are looking to fill in some NES holes in the collection.
