2009<\/a>. I’ve gone almost every year (I think 2008 was the exception, since I was Mr. Mom full-time), and some years I’ve been so exhausted before even heading out to Tulsa that I forgot to take a camera (see also: 2005, 2010).<\/p>\n* not really gonna happen, but hey, if you plug the right thing into me, I’ll play Atari 2600 games too!

OVGE, the annual Tulsa video game convention, looks like it’s going to be held in June this year rather than the fall, and of course I’ll be there unless that horrible dirigible accident with my name on it finally happens.
