MGC 2009 - Great show, once again!

[asdfjkl;]

gawd you've never seen me solder at least I hope you haven't

[Metallica Man X]

I'd be up for a soldering contest

The super projekt could be neat too!

[Skyone]

Looks like it won't be too cold from Friday to Sunday. I assume there's no melting snow over there right now, right?

[cowsgoquack101]

Well, unless I can get $120 by then I won't be able to go...

You'd be surprised, I think it'd be comparable to last year. Those mountains of snow in the parking lot take forever to melt: the snow does a really good job of insulating itself, so it takes a while. Then again, I'm further north in Wisconsin, not sure how Milwaukee is. There's also been quite a bit of rain down there, which can really be murder on the snow (by then we welcome it )

*did a double-take before remembering Sky is from California*

If it's anything like it is here, there will still be snow mounds (which are not as good as Almond Joy!) It's still cold enough to see your breath, but who knows - maybe we'll get a warm weekend (warm being > 40 degrees)

[Metallica Man X]

40 degrees would rock socks, lol. If it hit 40, I'd wear shorts

[wallydawg]

the pool at the olympia is heated indoors so it can get as cold as it wants im still going swimming

[Skyone]

I was fine last year with a light sweatshirt (rolled up sleeves!) really. I hope I'm wrong about the weather though!

Yeah, but that was with 40 degree temperatures. Try it with -20 in December/Jaunary

@Metallica Man X: Ryan (project_failure) did that last year, and he's from CA!

[benheck]

They have a pool?

I only ever noticed the bar!

Spoken like a true Wisconsinite

[wallydawg]

The restaurant there is pretty good too, on the other side of the bar. Hopefully I can remember what I had there last year cause it was the best one of those I'd had in a while

this would be a better endorsement if I could remember what I ate lol

[weaponepsilon]

Didn't know some of you guys were local (Minneapolis area). I wish I could go....

[arfink]

Soldering compo sounds fun, but would we use our own gear/solder? AND, I am planning on bringing my Neo Geo CMVS and some of my games almost for certain now. I will be arriving Saturday evening, so I won't be at the show until Sunday. I will be in the hotel on Saturday though, just not at the show since I would only get 1 or 2 hours before they shut down, so no point in buying the tickets.
