Just thought I might draw some attention to this show coming up in a couple of weeks in Seattle. I suspect there won't be a lot of shmup representation here (in fact, it looks like the games on offer will lean heavily toward pinball, although that's not necessarily a bad thing given the rarity of pinball around here these days), but it should still be interesting nonetheless. I thought about going last year but ended up with a schedule conflict.
