The closest to me is Flint, MI and I do not see myself traveling there any time soon... or at all.

yeah, it would be cool if there were more cities.  I'm amazed it came to Phoenix!

I wouldn't mind flying down to Phoenix to see the exhibit, my parents are down there.  What really amazes me is that they even chose Flint.  Especially since Flint is one of the most, if not the most, dangerous city in the States.

ha, yeah, that's a little weird alright.  I'm not sure why they chose the cities they did.

The closest one to me is Yonkers. Ain't travelling all the way to New York from Maine for any exhibit!

Posted on August 16, 2013 1:32 PM

ha, me neither!  Laughing

I wish it wasn't in far north NY cities because those are hours from me T_T 

I bet it would be really cool though to see it!

Posted on August 16, 2013 2:26 PM

it was quite fun!

Syracuse! I can do Syracuse. It's probably an hour and a half ride to get there, but it seems like it'll probably be worth it.

Syracuse does seem like a weird place to take it to though...

Posted on August 16, 2013 4:35 PM

yeah all these towns are pretty weird!

I visited this in DC last year I believe and I really enjoyed it. It's kinda neat to see the evolution of game, especially with how it's displayed along the wall. I didn't get the chance to play any of the games displayed as we were in a sort of a rush but it was still a fun experience.

Posted on August 16, 2013 4:54 PM

yeah I didn't play any of the games either, as they were busy.  I've mostly played them anyway. 

Like you said, it was a pretty fun experience though.

Theres no Texas dates so looks like i wont be attending. 

Posted on August 16, 2013 10:23 PM

that's too bad.  I don't know how they selected the cities, but a lot of people who would love it just won't be able to go. 

Posted on August 17, 2013 12:07 AM

I went when it opened in D.C. Really neat and very well done. Go see it, folks, if you can!

Posted on August 17, 2013 12:15 AM

yeah man it's totally cool.

Posted on August 17, 2013 6:50 PM

It's coming nowhere near me, excellent! I'm not violating my restraining order...

Posted on August 17, 2013 7:23 PM

yeah the schedule is a little lackluster. 

Posted on August 17, 2013 7:56 PM

I wish I could go see this... but it's coming nowhere near me. WTF kind of a name is Yonkers lol. Undecided

Posted on August 17, 2013 8:12 PM

yeah I've never been there but I've heard of it. Weird ass name.  Laughing

Miami is only 4 or so hours from me but but Oct. through Jan. is really bad timing, work will have me swamped. Oh well maybe next time.

Posted on August 17, 2013 10:15 PM

yeah it's too bad there aren't more cities on the tour. 

Posted on August 18, 2013 12:15 AM

Aw, phooey, nothing in Texas.

Posted on August 18, 2013 2:46 AM

you would have really appreciated it.  There was a huge pacman display. 

Posted on August 19, 2013 2:46 AM

Two in Florida but all the way down south? Figures.

Posted on August 19, 2013 7:06 AM

yeah whoever did this schedule was smokin' crack.  Laughing
