News/update 08/30/17:

A nod to those we love: The AO crew helped launch Grinkfest at its inception. Grinkfest wouldn't be what it is today without the Arcade Outsiders' contribution. As a nod of respect to what they helped build, there will be no official "host" of Grinkfest this year. It will be like a moment of silence. : ) We'll still have awesome sponsors (thanks to Gack), and rad art (thanks to 34k), and we'll have at least two or three podcasts going on (AH and RR so far)... and, as Grinkfest is pretty much a free-for-all, if anyone wants to participate and help organize something, I'm probably down. Just coordinate with Gack... he's in charge. : ) IdahoFarmer

With the above noted, we'd like to add that some friends/fans will also be making it to GF5 :)

A few "Podcasters" will be in attendance. Any other podcasters/youtubers that can make it out - please do! This is a fun place to be and great opportunity for us to all get a mash-up (mashed? haha) together in one place!

The Arcade Hangout and RcadeRadio will be there and have discussed possibly doing some "live" podcasting (details tbd). I know one or two of our friends from Coin Rejects are also planning to be in attendance as well....you guys wanna do something too? Anyone else, please send me PM and I'm sure we can work something out!

......and, we'll be doing a couple fun side/mini-tournament to kick-off GF5, sort of a "break the ice" to get stuff rolling :D The Arcade Hangout crew will be doing our signature 'NATT' style game play on Friday October 13 starting around 5-6PM and will be about 2hrs long - we'll have some prizes immediately following, including some extra NATT shirts from recent Denver trip....Good Times!

Please post in this thread if you plan to go and I will add you to the list.

Hope to see everyone there!

Add me to the list. I've been sitting in my car for the last 4 months waiting for the rest of colorado to show up for the caravan out to that glorious milf laden land called, "Eagle, Idaho".

I've got my best sleeveless t shirt already picked out for the weekend. It's so spectacular, will bring the house down.
 
Please add me to list this is the only event I'm doing this year but I'll be there!
 
I couldn't wait till October. Had to go out there with Stimpy last week. We will be back in October fo sure!

Listen for the interview with Steve/Idahofarmer coming up on Episode 22 of the podcast.
 
Is there anything like this on the East Coast?

There is no other Grinkfest. It's the beginning, and the end.

And honestly, at the rate it's growing...Steve is gonna need to look into relocating into the Albertsons next door by Grinkfest 10 I'd imagine. :)
