Hi, I know I am new here but I was just wondering if anybody was going to this con?  It is in Portland, OR Sept.29&30
http://retrogamingexpo.com/
My girlfriend and I will be there on Sunday.  I just moved to Seattle so its about a 2.5-3 Hr. drive for me but think it will be fun, and i can see more of the pacific northwest.  I hope to get a few old Shmups I have been in search for!!!

It's funny that this expo is getting so much exposure, now that I don't live in Oregon anymore.  I lived in Eugene up until about three months ago, and now I live in Columbus, Ohio.  If I were still out there, I'd definitely make the two-hour drive to Portland, but as it stands, there's no way I could make it there now.

Still, I'm glad it's going on.  Take some photos for us!

I had one of those GameGear bags forever. Damn, no idea they were actually worth something. Pretty sure I gave it away or tossed it :/
