Jeffy Arensmeyer Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hey Everyone. This post is mostly directed at the Als, but some input from everyone here would be nice too. It's looking like the CGE 2007 is going to be the first classic expo I get to attend. My friend and I have typically gone to E3, but since it's gone pseudo-private, it's tough to get into now. Thus, we're using our resources this year to go to CGE 2007, especially since it's in Vegas. We all know of the rivers of bad blood among individuals, factions and entire groups and owners of AtariAge and Digital Press. But what is the likelyhood that AtariAge will have a booth at CGE 2007? My reasoning for asking is simple. Whether no one "here or there" gets along with "him or her", it's still an execellent opportunity to show your wares and meet collectors from all forums. It would seem that as many or more people from the midwest versus the east coast could attend. My friend and I have limited resources and make a "jump" like this once a year. And with E3 toasted, we've decided on CGE 2007. We would like to meet people from and see an AtariAge booth. It's probably our once a year chance to actually meet the people that make it run. Since this is the 10th Anniversary of CGE, there's sure to be even more people than usual and 10 years is quite a benchmark. This isn't a request to bury all hatchets and start over, but an opportunity like this should really be evaluated. And please, let's not turn this into a "classic gaming horror story forum". If there's something that someone said or did and it absolutely has to be mentioned, please find the old link and post it, but don't reiterate it here. I'm really just wanting to meet everyone on both sides. Call me selfish, but I'm not the only person that would benefit if AtariAge attends. Thanx, Jeff ò¿ó Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitalpress Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 As a representative of Classic Gaming Expo, I can speak for all of us in saying that we welcome AtariAge as exhibitors to the show. Hopefully everyone can bury the old hatchets and get the entire community together for this event! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snider-man Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Sweet Jesus, here-here. Nothing would please me more than seeing CGE back in Vegas and Atari Age in attendance at CGE. Everyone benefits - vendors, organizers, and attendees alike. So is this a pipe dream or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k8track Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) I would dearly love to see Atari Age at the show; I'm very much looking forward to meeting Al in person as well as many other people. I know I haven't posted much here (I need to rectify that!), but I love this site and everything it has done for the VG community, like all the righteous homebrews, the research that has uncovered forgotten prototypes, and very helpful information (e.g. AtariAge helped me to organize my collection properly! See the pics of the plastic storage containers in my collection pictures at http://videogamecollectors.com/gallery/Kev...gaming-chamber). I'm in your debt! Come on out to Vegas, guys! Let's hang! It'll be a blast! Edited January 19, 2007 by k8track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I would love to go myself - I haven't been since CGE2K! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandAmChandler Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 This is it. For gamers to unite as one! Plenty of advance notice, plenty of time. Great location. 10th year reunion. Could you ask for more? I hope to see AA there! -GAC- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphor Dot Fossils Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 i've never been to a CGE period. there always too far away for me. Old thing, if I can make it from Fort Smith to CGE, or from Alma to CGE (and I've done both!), you too can do it too! TUPELO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Rescue Group Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I don't know much at all of the issues between AA and DP, but I'd guess this type of scenario could work out better if both AA and DP would each attend an event the other helped organize.

lucifershalo Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I was soooo disappointed to hear that ATARIAGE wont be at the CGE 07 we are already such a small community and we have fight between us and who are the victims of those arguments? us, the fans, buyers,......

homerwannabee Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 That kind of blows. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that Albert is really busy and can't fit this into his schedule, than this old fued remaining strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it has more to do with the fact that Albert is really busy and can't fit this into his schedule, than this old fued remaining strong. It could also be that Albert isn't bringing stuff from Texas to Las Vegas anymore. He's now in Ohio, which - look at a map - is a lot further east now. The shipping charges have got to be insane and driving a truck out would be tedious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
