I'll update in a few days.
UPDATE!
Well first the date clashes with that reunion, and I'm not going to disappoint my relatives who want to see me. Guess I'll try for next year.... I'm starting to feel like Ethan trying to get to E3.

Well, I got the official green light like I was expecting. Since I'm giving G-force and gannon a ride from the bus station, I guess that means that they are on the confirmed list with me. Now it's really a party!

I'll be honest with you - I would have never guessed that.
I will have to see, I should get my license next Friday so I could drive up there. If I got my Motorcycle temps I could ride my scooter which gets 200mpg .
Another update, if I haven't mentioned it already. I will now be speaking and doing a panel at the show. Probably on the first day (Saturday) though for some reason he said the 8th (Friday) They're also making the panels "more interactive" or something, so should be cool.
Also apparently there's a big "mystery guest", and if I had to guess it might be Ralph Baer since he was to appear last year but fell ill and couldn't.

hmm If i can get a friend that also enjoys my taste in videogames I might be able to make it. But most of my friends think my gaming habits ah the weird lol.

I've met Bushnell before, he had an interesting panel but is a bit full of himself. Still he deserves a lot of credit, and at least he's not afraid of failure.
I think my favorite "classic" guy, that I have met, was Joe Decuir, who worked on the 2600's TIA (he had the "Stella" bike) and also helped on the Atari 800 with Jay Miner. He's a very cool guy, reminded me of an uncle or something.
David Crane is very tall.
Rob Fulop (of Demon Attack / Night Trap fame) is also fairly interesting.
Apparently Sponge (Brian) is dragging some of you over to Verona the Friday before the show, so you can meet a rather average looking Irish/Norwegian videogame guy who talks very fast ahead of the show. Regardless, I can fire up the grill and slap some burgers on for ya'll.
I got the flyer today and have saved about $100 to go! Im going gambling up north first (with relatives, not in casinos lol) but im selling some games and PC parts to friends first.
