Hey hey, everyone! It's a little short notice, but we're announcing the spring 2010 TooManyGames convention! This spring's event will be held Sunday, April 18th at the Inn at Reading in Reading, PA!

We've rented out the entire grand ballroom of the hotel to host our video game festival! We're packing the ballroom with well over 50 vendor tables, a game room (sponsored by The GXL www.thegxl.com) packed with dozens of classic and modern consoles, the TMG Theater will have panels, live podcasts, demonstrations, and live music all throughout the day, and the Reading's own anime group, the Network of Reading Otaku (NORO), will have their own room at the convention to show anime, hold their own tournaments, and host our costume contest, plus Reading's one-stop comic shop, Golden Eagle, will be holding Magic: The Gathering tournaments throughout the day!

Be sure to compete in some of our gaming tournaments including Street Fighter IV, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Bust-a-Move, Warlords, Super Smash Bros Brawl, and more!

TooManyGames is Pennsylvania's longest running video game convention, now in our 7th year! Join us and tons of your fellow gamers at the Inn at Reading on April 18th! More info about TooManyGames is available on our website at http://www.toomanygames.com See you there!

Going to try to see if I can make it this time. It's kind of a pain to get back from a trip on Sunday and have work on Monday, but Chuck and the guys always put together a great show. So hopefully I'll be able to make it.

Try Setting up a show sunday morning, Setting up your vendor space sunday morning, Running the convention all day with chuck and our very few staff, Breaking down vendor space, Breaking down Convention gear, Going home unloading vendor and convention stuff, THEN getting up for work Monday.

Oh yeah not to mention I am going to see my favorite band reunite in MD Saturday night so I wont be back to reading for sleep until about 3-4am and getting up at 6am for load in.

I am just busting your balls man I hope you can make it Long Island is only a 3-4 hour trip if memory serves me correctly.

Carlson was selling me on attending and I think I will try to go this year. I will have to talk to some other folks and see if we can crash at a friend's place in PA.

Just a heads up. If you or any of your buds own arcade cabs and want to earn some extra bucks, we're paying $10 and free admission per cab ($15 per Bemani/music game) to people who bring arcade cabs to the show. We have limited space for coin-ops, so if anyone wants to bring cabs I need them to sign up ASAP! Just fire me an e-mail at chuck@toomanygames.com

Just wanted to give everyone the heads up on what we're doing this time around.

I will be partnering with Mad Gear this time (aka 16 bit) at the same booth. Half will be import game sales that you usually expect from Mad Gear and the other half will be consoles set up for free play.

Here's what we're having on our side:

THREE (3) Superguns! One will have Neo Geo MVS, and the other two will be running various PCB's throughout the day. Incidentally, one of the superguns is the amazing and very rare Raijin Sigma. It has a unique harness that allows it to play Daraku Tenshi...this will be the first time I've had that particular game running perfectly.

2 Linked Super Game Boy 2s! I've been on a huge GB kick lately and wanted to try and do some stuff with this system. Should be great! We'll probably do mostly 2 player stuff but, I really want to have some other games like Gargoyle's Quest, Duck Tales, Catrap, etc.

The last TV will be displaying Sega Saturn stuff. Carlson has informed me that he will be getting in a copy of Radiant Silvergun to use on this setup. I also have a few other rarities that don't usually leave my house. (Taroumaru, for instance)

I really want to do PC Engine, as usual, but, I'm not sure we'll have the room this time. The big 27 in. will be coming, just in case.

I probably won't be coming after all. I just dropped a TON of money on getting my car fixed today. :( I will need some time to recover so this trip looks like it is out. Too bad as I had wanted to bring a supergun and some of my more rare beat em ups.

It will be worth it to attend. Please please come...if you do it won't be your last TMG :)

You are certainly welcome to hang out at the JSJ/Mad-gear area. We could probably use an extra pair of eyes behind the tables to make sure none of the equipment is treated poorly or stolen + Ralfakick (JT) likely won't be there so we will be down a guy anyway.

I'll definitely be attending. Can't wait to see some familiar faces and add some goodies to the collection.

Heya, folks. I know I'm a little bias here, but I'm pretty sure this is going to be our best show yet. We have so much awesome stuff going on, it's gonna be a great show!

Be sure to tell your friends. We need as much support as we can get this year 'cause we have big plans for 2011!

If you know ANYONE in the media, anyone who has a popular blog, is a radio DJ, a journalist, anything, get our press release in front of their face. 8*) It's online at http://www.toomanygames.com/media/0410pressrelease.pdf

If you're jealous of all the fun everyone had at Midwest Gaming Classic, then you need to get to TMG!
