2008 East Coast Summit is TODAYSubmitted by JoshB on 1 July, 2008 - 10:21.
It's that time of year again. Time to bring out your toys for food and fun in the sun with your fellow toy nerds.
This year's Summit will be held on August 2nd, 2008 at CollectionDX Headquarters in Dracut, MA. We'll be fresh off of our trip to Comic-Con and will have lots of stories and goodies. As always, we plan on having lots of swag from CollectionDX sponsors on hand to raffle off and give away. Trading tables will be set up so bring your extra toys! 2008 Sponsors
More sponsors announced soon! Attendance is FREE, but we require you to register so we can keep you updated of any schedule or location changes. Register NOW at http://cdxsummit08.eventbrite.com We look forward to seeing you at this year's summit - check out the fun that was had at the previous summit events. More:
Events | Summit  Oh, sure- it's not like I'm just getting in a car and driving a few miles... :-( A bit harsh, Atom.  ... well it's not like this event doesn't happen every year around the same time..... not like you couldn't have planned for it. Believe me, I would LOVE to meet Eva Unit 4A in person. =) Start saving your pennies, we'll see you next year. ___________________  Yep, you wouldn't be the first to arrive via plane, if you did come. With that said, I haven't looked at domestic flights lately, but last night I was kicking the tires on another trip to Japan and the taxes alone were nearly $600. That's not a typo. $600!! I'm pretty sure it was in the $250 range last time I went. So it looks like flight is expensive these days (and I will not be flying to Japan anytime soon.) I will be at the Summit, though, for sure and hope to see some new faces this year, as well as get re-acquainted with the old ones. Not sure what I'll be bringing for trade/sale this year. It could be nothing, or it could be every single one of my modern gokins. I'm quite undecided about my collecting future when it comes to that stuff lately. "This must be settled the way nature intended....with a vicious, bloody fight!"  Too bad I'm thousands miles away. Maybe I could host my own summit here.  Josh, What would be the nearest hotel and what airport should I fly into? I'm going to check if I could fly out there to meet up with everyone. Thanks! We'll fight them on the Beaches!  There are three airports you could fly into nearby. Logan International in Boston is the biggest, followed by Manchester-Boston international (in New Hampshire actually), is also close. Closest is Hanscom in Bedford, but it is a small airport, mostly regional service I think. You will need a rental car, as there is no public transportation to my house. For hotels, you have a few options, all are within 15 minutes of CDX HQ: Doubletree Lowell Radisson Hotel & Suites Chelmsford Best Western Chelmsford Inn Hope you can make it! ------------------------------  Any of you guys passing through the Framingham area want to show me the way or give me a ride? I'm fine with whatever is easier. -Andrew  When is this again? sorry newbie here and is there an AMTRAK station near the HQ thanks. http://mannix143.multiply.com There's no Amtrak station super close - You could take Amtrak to south station in Boston, then take the subway to North station, then the commuter rail to Lowell. It's probably 2 hours travel time from south station. ------------------------------  I live in Northern Ireland so maybe next year. Hope you a;; have a great time.  What exactly is CDX-HQ? Is that fancy speak for Josh's house? :) So... does this HQ has Secret lair for super robots to launch?  I will be there and I know absolutely no one, so a newbie question? should we bring something to contribute for everyone to eat or drink? You can if you want to - we'll have soda / grill stuff (burgers/dogs etc), but if you want to add something to the mix, feel free. We could always use snack stuff, or if you have any special dietary needs.... Looking forward to seeing you all! ------------------------------ Sadly I left an almost full bottle at the ex's. It's overrated unless you REALLY like Licorice. ___________________ I am shocked and appalled that you would make such a comment on a family friendly website such as this one. :-p -Andrew Man, I wish this were Labor Day weekend, I would so be there. Oh well.  Well guys, due to a crushing combination of schedule and $$ issues neither yours truly nor the 6 foot gundam will be able to make it for '08. Hope you all have a blast and know that I'll be there in spirit, as well as over the phone checking up on trade shwag ;). Man, I'm moving to California around that time time. And I've been looking forward to this! =(  How far away is your place from Amherst? Cause I'll be bouncing around Mass that weekend... maybe 45 mins to an hour. Go east on Rt 2, then north on 495... ------------------------------ I hear we are getting the largest turnout yet. So who is going? ___________________ So may great events in such short of time: DX East Coast Summit, SDCC, Macross World Fest, Anime Expo, Etc Etc. Next year I'm making it out to DX East Coast Summit, it's a shame that I'm missing it and I'm looking forward to meeting many of you in person! Or maybe I should head up DX West Coast Summit!? Have a great time! LF We'll fight them on the Beaches!  I know its a bit late, but is anybody interested in legos, Nintendo power, or Newtype USA magazines? I'm bringing a few other things, but the things listed above are a pain to move unless there is a chance of unloading them on someone. Thanks |
