Abominal Taz Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Since I live 30 minutes away of course I can make it this year. It'll be my fist Sonic/Any Convention really. Edited June 20, 2013 by Abominal Taz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhancat Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I won't be going, but I really wish Sega would host an event in Australia already. Preferrably in Sydney. Australia is arguably the most popular place to hold conventions, right next to the US and UK. It still annoys me how Sega lied about 20th Anniversary events being held worldwide, when the only thing that happened was Boom. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abominal Taz Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) It still annoys me how Sega lied about 20th Anniversary events being held worldwide, when the only thing that happened was Boom. :/ Yeah I was miffed about that too. But you also have to think that something like that would have been a lot, lot, LOT of money. And from what I've heard, the whole ticket thing kinda has backfiring points.

AcidGamer64 Posted June 22, 2013 Report Share Posted June 22, 2013 Even if I had the money, I still wouldn't be able to. Mainly because how far The Pageant, St. Louis, MO is from where I live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I don't have the money at the moment to actually go, so.... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnOrdinarySonicFan Posted June 25, 2013 Report Share Posted June 25, 2013 I was hoping Sonic Boom would be in San Diego again this year. Where I live, it's far away from St. Lewis. Plus I heard that St. Lewis was a pretty bad place to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MykonosFan Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Considering this more and more by the day. I'm 8 hours away but will hopefully meet up with some Retro/SSMB/United members once there. Way I see it...who knows if it'll ever be this close to me again. (No, I don't consider 500 miles "close", but you know what I mean. ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abominal Taz Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I got my ticket so I'm all ready to walk into the Pagent with my Sonic United swag. As for anybody else who's going to be there, see ya! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MykonosFan Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I've got my ticket sorted, just need to get my car fixed up and I'll be ready to roll. I've taken Friday off work so I can get there a day early and not rush myself too much. I'll be taking plenty of pictures and maybe a little video here and there and will be sharing with you guys here if all goes well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abominal Taz Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I've got my ticket sorted, just need to get my car fixed up and I'll be ready to roll. I've taken Friday off work so I can get there a day early and not rush myself too much. I'll be taking plenty of pictures and maybe a little video here and there and will be sharing with you guys here if all goes well. Awesome dude. Hopefully, we might run into each other, well, if I'm not busy with the Nachos being served. Speaking of which, they have the event schedule, which I'm about to post into this. Edit: Ok. Here is the schedule strait from the SEGA blog site. Event InformationThe doors for the event open at 5:00 PM. Please have your ticket ready for The Pageant staff to check. This will help everyone get into the venue in a timely manner! Your bags may be searched by venue security on the way in. We’ve informed venue security that you are welcome to take all the photos and videos you’d like inside, so there’s no need to hide your cameras. We will have Wii U and 3DS stations available for you to play Sonic Lost World. Please be patient if there is a line, and be courteous to your fellow Sonic fans by keeping the line moving when you’re done playing. There will be a free dinner buffet available! The buffet will include: Sliders – mini beef, chicken, and veggie burgers Hot dogs – with or without chili topping (yes… we have chili dogs this year!) Nachos Toasted Ravioli (a St. Louis specialty!) Dessert There will also be free water and soda available for everyone. If you are 21 or older and would like to purchase alcohol, you can do so at the bar on the balcony level. (The balcony level is only available to guests 21 or older.) Each guest will also get a free bag of exclusive Sonic Boom 2013 merchandise. The merchandise will be available in the cafe area next to the concert area. In addition, Crush 40 will have merchandise available for you to purchase. If you would like to participate in the trivia contest, please go to the merchandise area to fill out a raffle ticket (one ticket per person, please!). We will randomly draw names from those entries, and six lucky people will get chosen to come on stage and answer trivia in two teams of three people. Make sure you fill out your raffle ticket early in the evening if you want to participate! If you would like to participate in the costume contest, simply come on stage when we invite participants up. There is no pre-registration necessary.

MykonosFan Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Just got to my hotel. Neither my mom or I could find her camera so any pictures I take will probably be with my crappy old phone...but better than nothing I guess! I'm confused about the Pageant though, is it a sit down type of thing, or a standing around type thing, or a good bit of both? I'm sure we'll be seated when Crush 40 plays and all but I don't know whether to look at this as a concert or a convention haha. Either way guess we'll find out soon!

Abominal Taz Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Well last night was excellent! Got to play Lost World demo on both systems, and see Crush 40 live. Plus, a maybe on SA3....oh dear. But hey, great turnout in my book. I might dress up next year maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MykonosFan Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm getting swamped with over time scheduling at work, and I want to sleep soon, so I won't say much just yet, but if you need an indication of how my night turned out, well... Yeah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clouder Posted August 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I live 7 hours away from St Louis, so I'm glad they changed because I live 1 day, 7 hours away from San Diego. Hopefully I'll be able to go next year. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abominal Taz Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I'm definitely shooting for next year. I have to meet the Jun man and Johnny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
