Wow, sounds cool, and only about an hour from Madison. I'm there for sure.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in seeing my modded Game Boys?

Well I am bringing up my 20" CRT but you can't hog it :lol:

So, Gloria and I have been doing some budgeting and it looks like the trip is ON :D

Two days of fun in Chicago (found a great hotel within walking distance of Sear's Tower) and then on to MGC on Saturday! We're driving, so I'll bring whatever portables/modding tools/cool stuff I can find. Does anyone have a Super Joy III that they might be willing to sell/donate at the show so I can bring my NOAC portable back to life?

Wouldn't surprise me if one of the vendors at MGC had one... can't say for sure, or how much it would cost, but it's quite possible.

Hey, count me in. If things go well, I'll be driving my mini van in case someone needs a ride between south central Iowa and Wisconsin. IF I get new tires before then. If not, well I may need a ride.

Those planning on going should have received a PM from me just now, and names should be on the first post. If you have not received the PM/are not on the list, but are planning on going, please contact me ASAP!

I have to drop out. Parents who pay the insurance for my car won't let me drive it. I can't afford plane tickets.

Sorry yall.

Great I have to bring my own TV now.

Na, I'm not that selfish. It sucks that you wont be able to make it. Well try and give Sponge or one of us a call while we're there. It'd be nice to have you check in.
