’Twas the night before RetroGameCon, and all through the hall,
Gamers were buzzing, each fan big and small.
Controllers were charged, the cosplayers prepared,
And RetroBoy waited, his circuits all flared! 🤖

This weekend I'm in Syracuse at @retrogamecon.bsky.social for the inaugural performance of the @jononealmusic.bsky.social live band! Feat myself, @megabeardo.bsky.social, and Adam Henry. 💥

We're doing two unique shows, one at the con and one at the after-party. Pinball music will happen. So stoked!

🔎 Search RetroGameCon for all 6 rocket ship codes hidden throughout the convention. Use the back page of your official RetroGameCon Program to jot down each letter as you find them — together, they’ll reveal the secret code word that will help RetroBoy fix his ship!

😎 See you soon!

RetroGameCon @retrogamecon.bsky.social · 4d

It could happen either Wednesday or Thursday, but the Saturday-only pass WILL sell out. That means you will not be able to buy Saturday-only admission at the door. It is ALSO very possible that 3-day passes will sell out before Friday.

Grab tickets now! Link at the top of our page/in our bio!

We're in the final stretch, and tickets are selling *FAST*.

While we still have a good number of 3-Day, Friday, and Sunday passes remaining, this is your warning that SATURDAY-ONLY passes are going to sell out before the con.
