If you guys were ever to plan something in Minnesota area, I'd love to fly out. Last time I was in Minneapolis I did the funnest thing... Cart Racing.

I remember Navy Pier being interesting - basically an amusement park but there are vodka snowcone stands!

Isn't there a Chinatown too?

I always wanted to try the original Unos there, although I hear it's always packed. Ginos East is also supposedly really good. I've mostly been around Chicago for concerts at the House of Blues so I couldn't tell you much about it myself. I do know that Michigan Ave. is like Chicago's analog of NYC's Fifth Avenue though.

Too short indeed.

As for Chicago, I only live five hours away and have always wanted to go. Same with Cedar Point. Basically, I'm going to have a lot of major bills paid off within the next few weeks and am going to be a lot more flexible so I'm up fo wutevah.

As for other ideas, there is a going to be the Louisville Arcade Expo in March. It's basically a mini-MAGFest (from pictures I've seen of MAGFest) without panels and a few bands but a TON of retro gaming. I don't know if it's worth it to bring everyone to Louisville for it, but I'll definitely be going ;) There was going to be another VGL during March in Louisville but the local orchestra is having budget problems, unfortunately.

Also, I'm putting a vote in for doing this when it's at least warm (we at least know cold and rainy sucks right peeps :P). Thanks for organizing this Andrew; we are due for one!

I would be willing to meet up I am in OKC somewhere in the vicinity of there would be awesome but I am game on anywhere nearby.

OutSpoken · #16 01-23-2012, 05:23 AM

I could possibly make Chicago. Anything further away from Milwaukee than that is doubtful at best.

Sam mentioned that VGL is coming to the Chicago area around April/May.

If you guys do this, I'm in.

Or Chicago. Maybe. My girlfriend's been dying to go there for a while now. That's quite the trip for me, though.

I'd be down for anywhere. Chicago sounds like fun, especially since I've never been. The VGL looked to be an hour outside of town, so that'd be doable. Also, it's the last US performance of 2012, so if we want to catch it again this year, that'd be it.

So what are we thinking of doing? Long weekend 3 days 2 nights sorta deal?

I would be up for it if it is in the Chicago area ( yes I know I live there but I can't travel much). Plenty of good museums in the area, and yes Bahamut there is a Chinatown area.

Also there is one of the biggest arcades in the country in Brookfield,IL(which is not too far from the city)
