    Hey All!
    Suite 1105!
    This year we are going to be changing it up at Midwest Gaming Classic !This year we will be getting a suite and will have a Few of games, Food and Booz up in the suite! We will be hosting the Pinside Meet and greet 5-8 Pm on Saturday so stop on by have a drink (Or two) with us and put faces to the names! I will post up the room number as soon as I know it here as well! Suite will be open off and on most of the weekend and will be stocked with drinks all weekend. So if you cant make the meet and greet stop by. If you want to see if we are upstairs send me a text 303-931-3685.

    If you haven't made it to a GEX suite party you are missing out. They are lots of fun. and a nice way to get into some friendly dollar games and 4 player games away from the noise of the show floor.

    If you can make it just post up in this thread so I can get a rough idea how many people are coming so I can order enough food.

    Look forward to seeing you

    I will most likely stop by. I see you don’t have a room number yet but do you know which hotel you’ll be at?

    #3 2 years ago

    Can't wait.

    #4 2 years ago

    Hey JJ. Which hotel will you guys be in?

    #5 2 years ago

    I'll definitely be by to grab my badge.

    #6 2 years ago

    I'll be there. Already have a badge from previous years

    #7 2 years ago

    Duplicate. F is going on

    #10 2 years ago

    No need for a badge. I’ll definitely stop in during the weekend.

    #11 2 years ago

    Well this seems like a very nice offer and I'm planning on being at the show anyway (bringing a game) so it sounds like it'd be a good idea to come and hang out with you for a bit and take advantage of your hospitality...See you on Saturday and thanks for doing this!

    Will be stopping by for sure! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

    #14 2 years ago

    Whatz the suite number? Lol

    #16 2 years ago

    Not interested in the show anymore, but if I was within a couple hours drive, I'd come just for this!

    I miss everyone.

    #17 2 years ago

    Is there a show thread with pics? I did a scan and couldn't find one...

    #18 2 years ago

    Found a couple videos, but that's about it. Here's one from setup before it opened...

    #19 2 years ago

    There's a surprising lack of photos and threads for MGC 2021 in general.

    JJ,

    Thanks for the open door hospitality this weekend, and your support for the show. Good times!

    Regards

    I'll have not taken much yet, but I did grab these from yesterday! I have a short video too, but I cant figure out how to upload that, so here we go.

    These are also from setup day. I don't have any of the arcade hall during the event, but will try and snap some today.

    To post video on pinside, you upload the video to youtube and then post the link here and it will embed the video in your pinside post.

    I also wanted to say thanks to JJ for his hospitality. It was my first time stopping up and he couldn't have been nicer. Had food/snacks as well as drinks and he welcomed us in when we showed up. Just a very nice thing to do for the community and I really appreciated it. Thanks JJ...I hope to see you in the Spring

    #25 2 years ago

    Thank you JJ!

    #26 2 years ago

    JJ was a fantastic host. Wonderful party. Oddly, my favorite part was sitting and visiting with other Pinsiders. Thank You

    #27 2 years ago

    Got to poke my head in for a bit. Thanks for the good time JJ. It was nice just to hang out for a little while

    My theory is if people want to post things, awesome! I think based on comments from people - even in this thread - we serve a bit of a different type of collector than the traditional Pinside one, and that's fine. We all need our own shows to enjoy.

    But I feel silly if I'm the only one posting photos and talking about it. I like to try to let things speak more for themselves, and specifically not be one to overhype things. Feels slimy to me if people arrive thanks to me trying to present things one way and then they get things in a wholly different way.

    #29 2 years ago

    No kidding, I took 12 photos at the show, I just checked. Here are six of them. Hope they help people understand what it's like to be here!

    Quick funny stories on them...

    There is a bird in the one with the windows. It almost landed on my head. Never had to deal with that in the prior 20 years.

    The kid walking back is my son. I got back to the room at 140am on Saturday and was like where's Ben? Went back to the arcade hall to find him staggering back from being so tired, but he had been playing games with a couple of the other main volunteers kids until nearly 2. Maybe I'll have him shut down the hall next year.

    Finally, not pictured, everyone who sat down with me on Saturday night at the after party, whether you remember it or not... That was super fun.
