Title: Portland Retro Swap Meet
Post by: NickAwesome on January 18, 2019, 12:26:52 am

Not sure if there are many NW (Oregon, Washington) people here, but there is an awesome swap meet on Saturday in Portland.  Should be a ton of fun!  If you plan to go, let me know and we can meet up and maybe swap some stuff!  I'll be going with kypherion here.

This is on my collector’s bucket list of places to go, but right now with a 10 month old, and living roughly 7-8 hours away (incl 2 ferry trips), I just have to pass.

I wish I had a good con close to me. We have one in Colorado and it's pretty terrible.

We have a really good local community that I have been involved with the past few years.  Just a bunch of people that love and celebrate retro gaming.  If you ever get the chance to come out west, I promise it will be worth it!

I went to the big Portland Retro Gaming Expo 2 years ago and had a freaking blast! So worth it. I plan to return, one day. But I'm in Northern CA, so it's a damn long drive.

I'd love to make one of the Portland shows someday, but despite being relatively close (up by Seattle), the timing just doesn't work for me. Oh well...

I just happen to be going to Portland later to see a play!
