If anyone lives in or around Berks Country, PA you should stop by the Leesport Farmers Market on the 6th and 20th. TooManyGames is renting a stand at the market to do some local promotion for the convention. We're gonna have a few TVs setup, games will be played, games will be sold, video game music will be played, maybe even an impromptu tournament will happen! It should be an awesome little time for people who come out to show their support! 8*)
 
You sir have made my month. Now i have something to do before i get spanked with exams at the end of the semester. I also feel ashamed for not knowing this existed in my home town.
 
I would totally go to this, but I just bought tickets to a Nationals game that day. Hopefully it will be successful and I'll be there for the next one!

What month are you guys going to be in Leesport? I am there often.

Also, I will be attending TooManyGames convention, seems bad ass
 
We're gonna be there this coming Sunday (the 20th) under the main pavilion. Should be an awesome weekend, weather looks good plus there's a toy show in the main hall!

I just got word from Mike Thomasson of Good Deal Games that they plan to do an official release of two new 3DO games at TooManyGames! Onside Soccer and Powerslide will be getting their first official release at the May 4th show! These games will come with professionally printed cases and manual using the original artwork developed for the games in the late '90s!

Also if he can get everything together in time he'll be debuting the latest Arcade Ambiance CD! These CDs are really cool, each features authentic music and sound effects from arcade games mixed into an awesome sounding compilation, it sounds just like you're walking into a classic arcade!
 
I would be there if it was a little closer to DC, but don't think I can make the trip all the way to PA.
 
Bah, that's no excuse! 8*) Both Mad-Gear and OC Remix are coming up from the DC area, it's only like a 5 hour drive. 8*)
