I just book my airfare, $44 each from Sacramento... but of course with taxes and such $117 out the door. So I order my show ticket, and travel, now I just have to get around to booking a room.

The main site has been updated again. We are welcomed to have the chiptune artist Leeni preforming at the show. Check out the news with the new schedule as well. http://retrogamingexpo.com/
Charles, good to see your coming back.
Hello Everyone,
we're now close to the 100 day mark before our show starts, you'll be seeing a lot more info about our show as each day passes. info about vendors, contests and prizes, and exclusive show releases and much more! we all have been working hard to make this years show the best ever.
for those of you that are thinking about being a vendor at our show, I would not wait too long, we have limited space this year and spots are filling up fast!
don't forget to order your tickets in advance so you get into our show 1 hour early (9AM) you can order them here: http://www.retrogamingexpo.com/admission.php
one of the newest additions to our show is Leeni, after seeing her on northwest cable news, I thought she would fit in perfect for our show. be sure to check out her website, love the way it's set up! I'm a huge space invaders fan.
Chiptune Artist Leeni To Perform at PRGE
We are proud to welcome 8-Bit performer Leeni to the Expo! She is bringing her unique style of chiptune music down from Seattle for one show only so be sure to stick around for her 5:00 PM performance.
"Leeni's music takes you into another dimension, perhaps one with only two dimensions, depending where your video nostalgia begins and the real world ends. Leeni's 8-bit world is so believable that you'd swear you were listening to Princess Peach crooning into a 4-track and awaiting the valiant Mario and Luigi."
Chris Brunelle, Impose Magazine
"Leeni is constantly pushing, morphing, recreating herself and her sound. This metamorphosis brought her to the discovery of 8-bit music, a largely untapped resource on the brink of commercial stardom. 8-bit music captures an off-beat, nostalgic sound that is easy to embrace. It's a new genre, an innovative cutting edge sound with a fresh, fun perspective."

Win a Konami Home Arcade Machine at Portland Retro Gaming Expo!
Konami Home Arcade Game, Who hasn't dreamed of having a full-size
arcade game in their living room? This year at the PRGE, our raffle
grand prize is a Konami home arcade machine. Play all of Konami's
classic games on this full-size arcade machine. The Konami Arcade Game
comes with 12 built-in classic games. The unit stands 62" tall and has
an included, built-in, full color monitor.
Raffle tickets will be available throughout the show for $1 each. The
drawing will be held at approximately 4:45 PM, just prior to Leeni's
performance at the main stage. Must be present to win!
I wanted to tell you all about an exclusive release we have for our
show. For all you Atari 2600 fans out there, one of our show releases
will be CHUNKOUT 2600. This new puzzle game has been programmed by
James Todd from NintendoAGE.com. He has previously developed this game
for the Gameboy Color and Nintendo NES system, and now with his first
adventure into developing for the Atari 2600. I think you'll love this
game very much!
About the game:
You are looking at a 8 by 12 grid made of blocks with different colors
(number of colors depends on level 1-4 of difficultly). The object of
the game is
to clear the screen of all blocks and at the same time try to take out
the biggest chunks (the bigger the chunks, the bigger the score).
The game carts will be numbered and you can buy either a cart only or
a special boxed version which will include a lot of cool items with
it.
Regards,
Rick Weis

I am hoping I can make it down to the show. I'm only about a 4 hour drive away.
I'll probably make a weekend of it Portland. Since the show is Sunday, are there any decent outdoor flea markets around that run on Saturday?
It depends on what you consider decent. Gresham has two indoor Fleas that occasionally have interesting things.

I just set up a Twitter account for the Portland Retro Gaming Expo. We're just starting, but it will be a great way to keep up on the latest news about the show.

Matt Rau (of Video Masters TV) and I went up to Rick Weis' house a couple of weeks ago to do a short video of his game collection as a lead-in to the Portland Retro Gaming Expo on Sept 20.
Have a look at Rick's awesome collection and see me in an un-awesomely ill-fitting Atari t-shirt. We are clearly not video professionals by any stretch of the imagination, but we had a great time and got to see some rare and interesting gaming goodness.
Roll the clip!
Thanks to Rick for being such a good sport and gracious host!

Video looks great Chuck

Wow, good job on the video. It's cool to get a peek at Rick's collection, I knew he had some pretty sweet stuff.
Rick has an incredible collection. Maybe we should change the Sept. 19th Chuckwagon Roundup/Pre PRGE Party to his place instead of Ground Kontrol Arcade
Heh, there's no room! We could barely fit the three of us with lights and a camera tripod.Rick has an incredible collection. Maybe we should change the Sept. 19th Chuckwagon Roundup/Pre PRGE Party to his place instead of Ground Kontrol Arcade
I can't tell you how many times Matt and I stopped talking mid-sentence because something amazing caught our eye. It's that good. ;-)

Rick has an amazing collection. He would also be the last person to tell you that. He is one humble guy. Is our show really only 48 days away? I cant believe it! Looking forward to meeting you Kaboomer, and boy do I have some classic game stories to share!
