CinciClassic 2008 - We'd like to have it, but we need your help!

Bill and I are talking again about the prospects of CinciClassic 2008. We're both pretty excited about the prospects of putting together CinciClassic 2008, but we need your help:

• Location: If you have any ideas for locations for CinciClassic 2008, please let Bill or I know (or post in the forums on the site: http://cinciclassic.org). This is the crucial part of our show, as it determines location, cost, and the like. Cheaper is better.
• Ideas for events: One of the thoughts we had was to open it up for more recent systems. We talked about having events like Guitar Hero and possibly even some LAN Gaming. What would you like to see at CinciClassic this year?
• Volunteers: We need YOU! Promotion, events, whatever: we need your help. If you've got an interest, please feel free to drop me a line.

As always, updates and discussions are available on this site, and on the mailing lists (subscribe using the "mailing list" pick on the sidebar.
If you have any questions for the organizers (Bill or Craig) please click on the "contact us" link and use the contact form.

Let's make CinciClassic 2008 the best one yet!

By far one of the most common questions I get is "When is the next CinciClassic"? The short answer is "when it's scheduled", but that's too coy an answer for an honest question.

CinciClassic has been a small, nimble show. We don't generally plan more than three months prior to the show to even have a show. In order to keep costs down, we have to find a venue that is both cost effective, and willing to accept a show like CinciClassic. That isn't a small feat, and with the current organizer's schedules, it's hard to keep on top of this. So, it's not for lack of wanting to meet up with you guys again; I want to catch up with you crazy guys again real-soon-now. :)

But, as of yet no plans have been made. I'll get back with Bill to see if he's come up with anything, but for the most part, we're on a wait-and-see status for now.

MAGFest is a video and computer gaming convention run by fans, for fans. Like most conventions, MAGFest may obtain commercial sponsors, but it incorporates many of the things you've come to know and love about fan-based conventions, such as panels, a gaming room, vendors, a video-watching room, a dance, and a live concert! Not to mention tournaments around the clock! Other things to look out for at MAGFest are artists, a LAN party area, an auction, a game show, and a costume contest!

America's VideoGame Expo is a celebration of video and computer games for the avid and casual gamer.

We've re-launched the CinciClassic site! Woo Woo!

Now, you may be asking yourself: What happened? Turns out I botched the last upgrade of the site, so rather than try to fix the old site, I decided to start fresh. That means:

• You'll need to re-register your account (sorry about that)
• We don't have all of the content available yet (sorry about that)
• Things might still be broken (sorry about that)
