Hey,
I didn't see anyone post about this... Classic Gaming Expo (http://www.cgexpo.com/) is coming up in Vegas this weekend (7/31-8/1). While it's geared toward classic video games of all kinds, arcades are certainly a part of it. Anyway, I'll be making the trip out there... anyone else going? It'd be cool to meet up with other KLOVers there. I'm gonna try to make it over to the Pinball Hall of Fame while I'm there as well.
Anyway, I've gone there for the last few shows... it's always a great time. They've always got really interesting speakers, lots of buy/sell/trading, lots of video games to play, a really cool museum with all kinds of rare stuff, and an auction with lots of crazy stuff for sale.
Also, for anyone local to Vegas... the show coordinators are looking for more arcade games for the show. I'm volunteering to help with the set up/repair of the arcades this year, but when I talked to them, they said they'd be glad to give free admission to the show if anyone can bring some games to be played. Drop me a PM if you can bring some, and I'll get you in contact with them.
And I'll be bringing lots of repair stuff (tools, parts, etc)... if you have some broken games (complete, but not working), I'd be glad to try to repair them, if they can be used in the show if I get them going.
