I was thinking about one day taking my huge van and trekking accross the country collecting Benheckers whose address I already know and just partying raw and ending with the grand finale... parking outside Ben's house and arguing like schoolgirls on who should ring the doorbell.

Holy crap, it's not like Benjamin is a god.

A portable convention would be a pretty fun thing. Trouble is, not too many people could go, and I suppose all we could do there is check out portables and play games. Eh, if we pooled enough money, and Ben was really into it, I suppose it could be done. I'd definitely try and go.

Let me clear something up.

I was not trying to find Ben's address when I found it. I wouldn't do anything like that because just like Sky said: "Ben's not a god or something". I just found it one day. It's not like you were ever actually looking for a $20 bill in the street when you actually find one.

Yes, yes he is! And Benheck.com is the church! Lol, jk of course.
But Lucretius IS a god! If you don't do what he says he'll SMITE you!!

Well, what I'm trying to get at is there are plenty of classic gaming dealers who would LOVE to attend a convention such as this to display what they've got. Plus, it would add to the list of things we could do at the convention.

ditto, unless it was somehow in Minneapolis, in which case she would simply never let me <- that one is smaller, so I'd more likely to be able to go

but it is easy

so what are the possibilities for the location?

Zzebotes13 · Post by **Zzebotes13** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 5:49 pm

NYC because it's just the coolest place ever. we could all put money together to rent some room and just use that place to show eachother out portables

Is everyone even going to go through with all of this? I mean, seriously.

Where would we host it? (building)
Where would we host it? (state, it's obviously going to be in USA if anywhere)
Would we charge?
If so, how much?
How much portables would seriously be there? (30?

)

Really, I don't think it would be that good! I need a good enough reason to convince my parents SO much to go to some random place to meet a bunch of people I don't know.
