I just thought I'll tell you about the VGS chat that are being held at the
atari hangout chat room ( http://www.jrthompson.org/atari/ ) every Subday
Time varies depends on my work schedule (be sure to check the VGS site every
Thursady after 6pm for times of the chat(s)on the ticker.
Also just wondering how many of you here on this list is interested in coming
to show or getting a table. (chances are I won't be planning a local IL meeting
for while since my work schedule won't give me enough time for it unless we do
it around 6 or 7pm on saturdays so VGS will be more or less our meetings)

Hello everyone. I haven't been here for a long time. It's good to see
that we have a final date set. I might go to the one on July 12th but
I have no idea where Lombard is.
JAGFEST 2003 - THRIVING IN THE JUNGLE
For 2003 Jaguar fans have agreed to hold multiple JagFest events nationwide
to allow other fans the opportunity to attend during this historic tenth
anniversary of the release of the Jaguar by Atari Corporation.
JagFest 2003 "Thriving in the Jungle" will demonstrate the Jaguar is still
alive and kicking with numerous hobby game efforts underway nearly a decade
after the Jaguar's first release. Each event will feature demos of lost and
upcoming games, as well as one or more tournaments with prizes for some of
the best Jaguar games out there.
At this time, the following JagFest events have been established:
JagFest @ MWC
---------------------
When: June 7, 2003
Where: Milwaukee, WI
Lead Organizers: Dan Iacovelli
JagFest @ VGS
---------------------
When: July 12, 2003
Where: Lombard, IL
Lead Organizers: Dan Iacovelli
JagFest @ CGE
---------------------
When: August 9-10, 2003
Where: Las Vegas, NV
Lead Organizers: Carl Forhan and Scott Walters
There's no way these few organizers can accomplish a successful event alone.
We need fans to commit to attend to whichever shows they can. We need
equipment, unreleased games, demos of upcoming games, tournament prizes,
flyers, web pages, and more. If you're interested in organizing a JagFest event
in your region, or would like to assist with other established events, please
send a blank email to JagFest-subscribe@yahoogroups.com .
Long live the Jaguar!
