I've wanted to go to MAGFest for several years but I always remember about it the weekend after it's held. I'm going to try and make it next weekend. Thanks for the reminder :)
No problem! I was the same way. The guy who pretty much ran the event from MAGFest 2 to 9 (who also is a VCF East Exhibitor) told me about it many years ago at the HOPE conference in NYC. Then I could never remember when it was, so missed it for a number of years until I met other people that went. Now it is usually held the first weekend after New Years Eve. AKA, the deadest weekend for a hotel/convention center during the year, and how a DIY grassroots video game music event thing can get a hotel big enough to handle the crowd that organically grew over the years.
