Anyone going to Free Play Florida?

[PunkicCyborg]

This con is coming up later this month and it's gonna rock. This is the events first year but this might end up becoming one of the bigger arcade cons in future years. Me and my friends will be bringing some sweet candy. HMU if you are going, I love meeting other local peeps.

Looks awesome I'd go just to see Billy Mitchell. Too bad It's so faraway.

Ill probably wait until next year. I really don't have much of an interest in the panels, and I'll wait to see how many machines are in the game area. I'm worried there wouldn't be enough for two days worth of gaming.

I will be there on Friday. Prepare thyself!

I'll be there! In fact, I'll be there with a booth showcasing a number of things. I think it will be one of the better events I've gone to, the organizers are on top of the ball and have been extremely awesome to work with. I'm super excited to be back in my hometown, be surrounded by sweet arcades, and meet some cool people face to face finally. Should be a killer weekend.

Well shit. That's a lot.

Is there a list of fighting game tourneys going on? I would imagine Ultra SF4, but maybe some older games?

I've watched CEO a few times on twitch. They definitely know how to run a tournament

This was a totally awesome weekend and by far the best arcade convention I have been to. Lots of awesome games, lots of partying, lots of fun.
When the show was over and everyone was packing up the cabs and pins we stuck the MVS in my friends cab with a stereo amp and cranked up some neo music in the unibios jukebox. Meta Slug 2 and Zed Blade OST while everyone was wrapping up their games, it was truly an epic moment
Really looking forward to next year. This is definitely an event worth going to and will be a big name in arcade cons in the US after this weekend.

Looked like a great turn out, PunkicCyborg. I can only imagine next year it'll be even bigger. I hope to make it next time.

I really enjoyed it and will be back next year. Thanks for bringing the cabs!
