Official WebsiteWhen: April 12-14 Where: Milwaukee, WI - Wisconsin Center Who's attending this year? I haven't been to MGC in many years, so I'm super excited to finally be going back. I'll be hosting a Game Show on the music stage, asking questions to contestants and handing out prizes. Also, I'll be renting a suite in one of the hotels and having an after-show party on Saturday night. You're all welcome to join us! We'll have some TVs and games set up, as well as drinks and food. I figured we can use this thread to coordinate. Hope to see you there!

I will have you know, mister Drool, that I made an account here today simply so I can respond to this thread. I hope you're happy! I'll be there for the 4th year in a row I'm pretty sure I'm part of a panel there this time around.

I'm kind of on the fence this year, but leaning toward going. I was going to pass since Saru will be there, but now that my BFF John F*cked is going to be there I may make the pilgrimage after all.

Wish I could make it this year, but alas, I'm booked for a anime con (aka, make money). This year seems to have quite a few date conflicts. I know the nearest liquor marts to the venue are sad.

I will be there for sure with my usual Central WI crew of 4 to 6 of us, depending on things. Can't wait to game it up with all you fellas and I genuinely hope Nully can make it. I am giddy with excitement over the idea of jlued and jnull meeting up for drinks! A true TURBO TITAN OF LEGEND!!

What kind of tickets is everyone buying? Doing the after parties or just the main fri-sun/sat-sun admission?
Jash, if I do go, will the turbo room be off limits on Friday w/out the VIG thing?

I'm pushing hard to attend again this year but I'll announce it here officially that Ashley won't be coming this time. She has a cousin's wedding to attend that poses a conflict.

Send a body double to the wedding and you guys go to MGC. In other news, is there anyone near or close-ish to southeast KS (or between there and Milwaukee) who would want to carpool? May have an open seat.

I'll be there with the wife. We'll get there on the 12th. Leave on the 15th super early morning. Looks like I am driving. The ferry across Lake Michigan doesn't run this early in the year and I cant find a good priced flight. It's only an hour faster to fly because of stops. So better off just driving.
Will be my first year. Been lurking for a while. So about time I get out and see what this stuffs about.
Since I will be driving. I could bring a console. Computer monitor and xrgb-mini to play on. Let me know if such items are wanted.

The big news coming out of this year is that our usual TurboFest room won't be a thing unfortunately. that'll be up to jlued and Nully and Saru to put on some cool hotel room afterparties. The TurboFest section will still be alive and well, it'll just be in the regular gaming museum section. Since that room has better traffic, better hours (stays open later for staff/contributors) and keeps my TF crew closer to the rest of the Museum folks. I'm stoked to meet all you noobs for the first time!! YAY!! Now, if we can just find Keranu again....

I just spoke to Dan Loosen and he's working on getting us a suite at the Hilton for after-party stuffs. Should be good-to-go. I'll keep everyone updated here.
