MGC 2010 HYPE thread

[Triton]

i may be working on my MVS console to get it done in time for MGC, probably wont happen tho! lol. i will probably bring tons of parts and tools like i usually do, and stuff for sale too!

[Sparkfist]

Hey maybe I can borrow a soldering iron (if I don't bring my own) and finish the wiring. That way we can have at least one. Cause you guys know mine works, just needs a case.

You bringing more of your Amiga collection this year? I'd like to see a 2000 if you're going to bring it. As well more of those weird racing games were a chopper has to put you back on the race track when you go off. lol

i'll probably bring my 1200 again, need to check with those guys and see if they want me to display it again, if not we can just play it in the hotel room lol. and my MVS works, i just need to put it all together lol

I know I brought the idea up some pages back in the thread. But are there still people who are going to bring some local foods and/or drinks with them to MGC. For the other members attending to try?

I know I still intend to bring a few bottles of Ale-8-One with me up there. And I try and see if I can find some local food to bring with me too.
(And no, It won't be a bucket of KFC. If your wanting a bucket of KFC, just go find your local franchise )

[Triton]

i'll bring some tahitian treat pop and maybe some sterzings potato chips

[Biased]

I'll talk to a guy I know about getting hot fries and licorice

[Triton]

ooo! get cheddar fries too if you can! lol

I'm not bringing anything local, considering anything local could be found at the closest grocery store closest to the center xD

Same for me - too close to have much of interest.

I am planning on attending. Ben asked me to bring my proto-3D printer. Its kind of loud when its running though. I need to make a box for it or something.

Also if anyone needs tools or parts let me know. I live about 30 minutes from the hotel so I can bring anything along thats needed. I have a fair amount of parts and equipment, as Ben can probably attest, so feel free to ask.

If needed I have a nice Dell 24" monitor that I can bring that can act as a monitor or TV. I also have a DLP projector and screen if that is useful.

I might bring along my hot-air rework station because its handy if you need to desolder SMT parts and looks kind of impressive to the uninitiated.

I also have a spare room if someone needs a place to stay, it is a half hour drive though so it might not be worth it. On the other hand it includes a fully stocked workshop, high speed internet and no competition for the shower.

Thing have became all too real today. My tickets have came in today.

Finally, after three years of wanting to go. I'm going to MGC!

I guess people are right when they say "3'rd time's a charm".

[thewise1]

I GOT MY TICKETS! PSYCHED!

[Metallica Man X]

Less than 2 weeks to go...and it feels like it's still 6 months away! The fun just can't come soon enough!

Are we still up for the ultimate Oreo tower? Cause I'll bring a couple packs of double stuff if we are.

[kibble]

You guys better take lots of pics at MGC and post them up later on!

I really, really, really, really wish I could go.... oh well, maybe next time.

Everyone should bring a pack or three of double stuffed! I certainly will.
