Hey guys,
For the past month I have been helping a friend of mine put together a gaming convention, titled XP Fest. This is the spiritual successor to the VGFF con I went to in 2013, that my friend Jason Pullara put on. I did aVox Pop Blog about it here. It is a convention for video and board games primarily, although tabletop games might break out at a moments notice.
We are not expecting a massive crowd of thousands, but a more intimate group of 200 plus at best. There will be a few guests who might show up from the internet, but those details have not been finalized yet. Still, the draw here is to basically play games with a bunch of people for a weekend, have fun, and enjoy the atmosphere.
XP Fest will take place in Connecticut, from June 12th-14th, 2015. It's a ways away, but it's better to be prepared of course. Tickets are on sale right now for $45.00 for the all-access pass for the three days there. You can also buy a ticket and a swag box for $100. The hotel is the Hilton Hartford, in Connecticut, which is offering special room rates of $115 a night, which is not too bad.
If you have any questions, ask me please. Otherwise, check out http://www.xpfest.com/ .It's bare bones right now, but in the coming months things will begin to shape up, as more announcements are made. Any support you send our way, even if it's sharing this with folks, is appreciated. Also like the facebook group, XP Fest if you wish to keep up on any news as well!
I figure, it may also be the closest we get to a Game Revolution meet up, since its a cheap price and a central location we can go to while fucking around with some games for three days. Hopefully some of you guys might be interested in attending, if nothing else, just to help support it.
