Arcade Expos
Hesch:
A buddy and I attended our first arcade expo this year at the Louisville Arcade Expo, and our minds were blown. Started looking into it more and found another one in Nashville in Nov.
Anyone know of any other Expos in the midwest that are worth going to? Anyone planning on attending the "Grand ole expo" in Nashville?

I highly recommend Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee, WI. It's a little far from you (I make the trip from STL every year) but it's a great con! It's already over for the year.

STL is doing a con this year too. It's mostly going to be game vendors and some game industry guests. A little closer for you.

Looked up the STL con, is it more about the panels and vendors than the actual games? We're considering making a trip down there if it's worth it
Bear78:
Yeah I believe so. I don't know of any plans for arcade games or pinball. As far as I know it's more about the vendors / guests. Having said that, there's some good arcades in the STL area to check out if you come up.

I will probably be going to the Nashville expo. Not sure what to expect, really. It's fairly new, only the 2nd or 3rd time they've done it. There's also the Southern Fried Game Expo (I think that's what it's called) in Atlanta that seems pretty promising. (Not exactly MId-West, but it's the only other nearish Nashville I can think of)
