Well folks, the Eve of Monroe-A-Palooza is upon us! As you can see, we've added ways to let you watch what we are up to, even if you cannot make it.
Troy arrived last night, and he and I started off the Early EARLY fun with a butt-load of Wii gaming including Wii Sports Resort and ExciteBots. Most of the gang starts arriving today at noon, and the Early Bird meet and greet and such happens today along with the VIP ArcadeNut Pizza and Arcade party tonight.
Check the schedule of events to see where we might show up in Phoenix today (Frys, Bookmans). You won't be able to miss us geeks :)

It's not 100% confirmed yet, but the great animator and one of the Dragon's Lair team - the brilliant Don Bluth has given a nod to visit us at Monroe-A-Palooza! More details as I get them ...
5/12/2009
The date and venue are LOCKED IN. NOW is the time to book airfare and I need to know if you need a room. Remember, the more people that stay at the hotel, the less we pay for the venue!
There is a new forum post for 2009.
2/5/2009
We are in the planning stages of this year's event. The August 29th date is still tentative, but it's ALMOST a sure thing. If you are in a hurry to buy tickets for travel, make sure you can reschedule them in the event of a change. We'll nail it down in the next couple of weeks.
Keep an eye on the site for changes!

6/29/2008
Event Registration is now open! I urge EVERYONE to sign up RIGHT AWAY!
6/26/2008
The venue is secured. Check the other areas of the website here for more details. You will need to pre-register for both the event and the hotel deals via this site (as I get the tools done to do so). Now that things are solidified, this page should be updated a lot more!
6/11/2008
Everyone has asked for an update, so while there is nothing set in stone, I wanted to let everyone know what was going on.
Right now I'm still searching for the right venue. There are TONS of considerations to be thought about and I want what's best for everyone. My original goal was to find a way to do it where there is a no-fee type scenario - basically just GET here and we'll have a blast. As it stands, the "free" venues aren't looking entirely practical. Those that may be possibilities aren't geographically sound - I mean, if it costs $10 in gas to get to and from the event from the airport but no entry fee - or it costs $10 for an entry fee and you don't even need to rent a car while you're here ... we'll you get the idea.
Based on preliminary numbers, it's looking like a $10 a head type thing. Believe me, it will be nothing outrageous and every penny will go into the venue, treats, whatever.
Another deciding factor will be the number of attendees that commit to coming. The more we have, the less we'll need from each person to cover the fees for the space.
I am hoping in the next week - possibly TWO - we'll have an answer for you. We have a couple of great leads right now that wiill give us discounted room rates, be a free shuttle ride from the airport, etc.
Keep an eye on this space!
