If you are looking for something fun next weekend (May 14-15) in Portland, OR, check out Wonder Northwest which is billed as a "Comics and Pop Culture Expo".
It's not my event, but I'll have a booth there (RecycledGamer) as well as Gerald (Specialty Gamer) and Toby (Y-Bot). It's their first show and I expect it to be a good one. It's at the Portland Crowne Plaza where we held the last two Portland Retro Gaming Expos - it's a nice venue.
Here's their description of the event:
"Wonder Northwest is an amalgamation of pop-culture subcultures. Here you will find regular folks co-mingling with super heroes, pirates, geeks, nerds, cosplayers, film enthusiasts, gamers and other nice people! Our vendor room will feature comic books, toys, video games and more from some of the best dealers from across the country. Contests, panels and other special events will be open for all attendees to enjoy. Conveniently located in the heart of Portland with easy access to PDX (Portland International Airport), public transportation, nearby restaurants and other attractions."

http://wondernorthwest.com/...I'll have one of the largest booths there - all retro video games. I'll have a Vectrex for sale as well as a few of my custom Vectrex repro lightpens and modded controllers. Mention you saw this post on Nintendo Age and I'll kick you a special forum discount on your purchases.
