As of this point, it looks like I will be setting the meet up for Saturday March 13th. I will be putting forth the details by this weekend.

I will probably be at Otakon, hopefully I get my panel again on Japanese Pro Wrestling. The Dealers Room use to be great, now dealers just run up the SRP on most items. Last year almost everything I saw was overpriced in terms of statues, figures, and models. I even know what the dealer usually pays for that stuff as well since I work with that kind of stuff on a daily basis.

Of course they run up the SRP, but they also have to haul the stuff there and pay for a spot. Luckily it's still cheaper than ordering from many sites. Shipping usually kills those deals. Sundays usually has a good mark down of stuff tho. Got some figures hat were $30 or $40 for $15 or less

That is true but it's rare to see them do mark downs anymore. Back in 2001/2002 every dealer had some type of mark down on Sunday on figures, statues,models, DVDs, wall scrolls, etc.

Still fun to watch people pay for something way over the SRP.

I know it's still early but maybe there should be a meet-up planned for the CAGs going to Otakon. I talked to one of there staff members the other day and mentioned that pre-registration should go up real soon.

Just thought I'd say hi n' stuff.

Just found this thread. Just outside DC in N. VA.

Please post in the thread or PM and I'll update the list as necessary.

We are back at White Flint this time, just before everyone heads off to PAX East.

Don't forget to bring your games and other stuff to trade or give away, as we always have a nice swap/trade session.

BTW, we have had minors (-18) join us before at D&B without issue. If you are a minor and wish to attend without your own guardian, shoot me a PM and I'll give you my cell phone # if you are concerned...and I'll walk you in. Again, it hasn't been an issue yet.

I should be able to make it to the D&B gathering, but just the tail end of it. Fortunately, I'll be in the Tenleytown/AU area, so it won't be a far trip for me to White Flint.

Also, I'll be at PAX East, but just Saturday. I'd be happy to meet up wherever/whenever that day.

Haven't been able to attend the last several meet-ups, but I should finally be able to make it next month (assuming my work schedule at the new job doesn't change by then).

I think I should be able to attend

Haha, I FINALLY realized what your handle was. Gen13 and DV8 put together. Good show. Loved those comics back in the day!

Yeah same here, those were two of my favorite comics back then. Still got them stacked away somewhere. I've had to explain it to most people who ask so it's cool to see when people can figure it out themselves!

i might be able to meet up with you guys

Count me in. I missed the last meetup, and have felt a little empty since... Looking forward to catching up with y'all!

I will be there, should be fun.

I'll be there if the snow ever stops falling. I might be snowed in until April.

Yes, isn't SNOWOCALYPSE III: the SNOWENING fun

Yeah, I hope the snow stops too. I gotta go outside later and plow it, so hopefully I can get to work tomorrow.

Episode 4 of The Broken Controller Podcast is up

updated the list with all current/possible attendees

I forgot all about this thing, but here's a link to the social group I created about a year ago. Still a good spot to share meetup photos if nothing else.

By my count, this will be the 9th "full" meetup if you want to edit your old banner G.


As an aside, I did manage to get in quite a bit of gaming while snowed in at home. Finished The World Ends With You and Brutal Legend, played all the way through 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, and started up LSL: Box Office Bust, Borderlands, and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. For me, that's a pretty solid week!
