This sounds like a really neat event, and if I lived anywhere near St Paul / Minn, I'd be there.

I attend MAGFest in DC whenever I can (almost every year for the last 6 years). And Gamer's Rhapsody sounds like all my favorite parts of MAGFest, and it excludes some of the overwhelming-ness that MAGFest has become in the last few years (when they moved to Gaylord Resort). Like when they book 5 different events at the same timeslot.
