cax is better

It's not a contest, these days a lot of West Coast people go to both. CAX is great, it's huge and well established, it's been around 13 years. For it's second year, the Northwest show is pretty damn awesome. 250 games, a stellar line up of special guests, lower ticket price, and the biggest event of it's kind in the Pacific Northwest. Plus, we've got hometown hero Steve Wiebe, who is a huge asset to our community and will hopefully be finally topping Billy Mitchell on Donkey Kong this weekend!

@venuecam yes unfortunally for him... he is having an hearing problem.

[venuecam]

Can someone explain why Steve Richie always has those headphones on? Is he hearing impaired?

2008 was our first run at this and it was a huge success. This year it's twice as big. Don't miss it!
