I might have to make the trip up to DFW for this show. Any DP'ers have a particular time to meet?
Fellow Houstonian checking in.
I was contacted by someone at Delta-H Con who saw my website and asked if I'd mention their event. Still not sure what will actually be there as there isn't too much info, but it does list games in the description. Who knows, I'll probably be there either way. If it's not good, at least it will be amusing!

In an earlier post, I suggested meeting between 3:30-4:00 at the autographing table (near the registration desk), but didn't get any responses.Originally Posted by dr101z

OMG... somebody PLEASE hook a brother up with a ride to this event... I live in Fort Worth now, and everybody knows that I'm a BIGTIME PINBALL FAN!
i live in burleson and might go check out the flea market. do you know if anyone sets up with console stuff there?
Crud, I don't know if I can make it to the Texas Pinball show. I asked for the 15th off, Saturday, and didn't get it. I might only make it there after I get out of work/hell.
If the flea market you're talking about is Trader's Village, then check the far north end of the place, booth 2033. The guy out there has loads of consoles. And there's a booth, #1309, that has a little bit of stuff too (that is if you can find anything amongst his clutter).
Hope to see some of you out there this Saturday.
Well, I'm going to try and make it tomorrow, after I get off work. It's going to be sometimes after 2pm.
I should be there around 12/noon.
Hope everyone has a great time.
Man is a gaming animal. He must always be trying to get the better in something or other.
I just got home from opening night of the Texas Pinball Festival. It was great fun. They had all my favorite machines, including Monster Bash, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Twilight Zone, and lots of others, plus some I had never played before, such as Super Mario Bros. and Indiana Jones.
Better get to bed so I'll be rested up for tomorrow.
I'm currently on route, just stopping off at a Schlotzsky's for a quick bite. But it turns out I loaned out my digital camera. I hope someone else brings one and posts the pics.
If anyone took some pics, please post some here. Thanks.
Wish I could have made it, but as soon as I hit heavy traffic on the expressway (Hwy 75), I got very sick. Some kind of bad food poisoning, or something (went home, and slept it off.)
Wish I could have been there. But hope everyone that attended had a great time!

Never saw any DP'ers, but had a great time nevertheless.

I saw you there. On my second walk around the place, I walked past your table, and a few seconds later it hit me that you were at a table selling your book. I'd already walked past, so I decided to say hello the next time I passed. When I walked by again, you were gone.Ah well, I'm planning on going out of town next week, and trying to save my money, so it's just as well. I'd have bought a copy for sure, which would have put a little dent in my pocket.
Speaking of your book, this college kid I work with was telling me about this book about game consoles that he'd heard of, and thought it'd be something I'd be interested in. He said it was about all the consoles released between 1972 and 1984, and it hit me that he was talking about your book! I told him that not only had I already heard of it, I seem to miss out on all your local signings. I went to Lone Star Comics in Hurst right after you'd left. I always got stuck at work for the others. I'm due to finally connect with you at some book signing, though. My luck can't always be bad.
What's going on. Checking in here from Brenham. Anyone know of any stores in Houston that carry TG games? I frequent Traders Village but am looking for any other places in that area. I go to Game Over in Austin now and then but the drive is a pain.
Checking in from the Corpus Area!
It's really a shame that I've missed all these events. Been going through a lot in my life recently and unfortunately I got the invite a little late. Oh well, I'll def try to make the next one.
Glad to see you back, ShinobiMan! I think it may be about time to get an H-Town get together organized.
Sounds good man. You can count me in, as long as we set a date and time.
There seems to be a whole lot of Houston folks here. You guys need to put something together. Who knows, I might actually make the trip down for it.
