Does anyone knows if there's going to be a Brofest 2017?

Have to ask the Bros..

If there is, I want to go.

John has been strangely quiet on this one.  A few times, he has also said "if" when referring to future Bro-Fests.  This is the closest one of his gatherings to me (despite being a 13 hour drive from Columbus).  If he takes this one off the yearly list, I'd hope he replaces it with something in Chicago (5 hour drive).

It seems like the gathering in Eagle, Idaho is going to be perpetual.  He did CAX this year, not sure if that is going to be on the regular rotation now or not.  Now that he is a "route guy" in Mass., he is really going to be limited for time.

What say you, John?

PS - Don't burn yourself out.  We'll all survive if you cut back on your travel schedule as long as the Youtube channel continues.

I have been quiet because I have nothing to say. I haven't heard what Gary's intentions are yet at Funspot.

I spoke with Gary recently and brought up the subject, he says he's definitely interested in doing it this year and is just waiting to hear from you.

let me know if i can help with anything as im about 3 hours from funspot and would also love to keep this event going.
thanks

Same here, I'd love to contribute in some way.

I am working on it. Stay tuned.

Brofest 2017 would be cool - the past 2 were a blast, but i was under the impression John had an arcade to run with his buddy.

Let me know if you need help making this happen. I'm 2 hours south.

This is happening. I might need help. :)

i dont know if im going to make it to brofest this year i might have to sit this one out 

If there's anything I can do let me know.

My son and I can help - we have a home 1 1/2 mins from Funspot - as long as we can still compete  :)

I need to get the site up and start registrations. Then we need to make badges which is the most time consuming process.

I'll get things moving next week.

You sir, are AWESOME  ;D

Hi JohnBot,

Will Brofest 2017 schedule for the 1st week of June?

Let me know i need to ask for time off from work.

Thanks!

Not sure if it will be "Brofest", but there will be an Funspot get together/event.
Weekend after Memorial Day has been the standard.  This year it falls on June 2nd and 3rd. 
John's eluded to it, but no BIG Offical announcement, or was it...:)  https://youtu.be/3aMs_sD8MaI?t=42m45s

Some folks have already made the plans to be there, so some Bro's will be there.

Clint's got it posted on the Aurcade site: http://www.aurcade.com/events/view.aspx?id=218

Any update on this?  Was at the Funspot this weekend and Gary told me he has not heard anything...
