I am trying to wrangle some wiggle room at work so hoping i can get away from silly hours and come see people. Was nice bumping into Shou amongst the hordes at TGS party but made me want to get myself out more.

Looks like I can't make it after all. Ah well, it sure isn't the first thing I've had to miss for work.

99% moving to Kita-Narashino by mid-March. Reserved a nice 3DK government apartment close to the station. Would love to meet up with people, do some shooting, watch movies, get food etc.

Anyone got some recommendations for furnishing my place on the cheap? It's bare bones, gonna have to buy AC, fridge, stove, even light fixtures.

Nice! My old stomping grounds.. You are moving near a SWEEET arcade outside of Tsudanuma station. The only arcade in Chiba I know of that has a dedicated STG section with ~10 or so games (SDOJ, Garegga, Ray Force, Futari BL, Raiden DX, DBAC, etc), as well as an entire floor of retro-arcade games on Blast City cabs in great condition:

^That is sweet :D

Gonna need to get an address to that place and check it out. While I was there I found a small but decent arcade like 5 minutes from my new place. Has Nesica & All.Net, and a legit Sengoku Ace, so it's not too shabby if I need a quick fix after work.

I don't know the address, but GPS is:

35.6922188,140.0204143

You can copy/paste that into Google Maps, then check it out in street view.

Guys, I'm thinking end of Feb/early Mar for the next gathering at my place.

Let me know your thoughts. I'll have 2 of the 38" CRTs ready, perhaps RGB modded Virtual Boy too.

Shooter PCB collection has been upgraded. Have every Cave shooter except Mushi Futari 1.5, all NMK, all Toaplan, all Psikyo minus Space Bomber, even Korean shooters (all COMAD, all Dooyong lol)

Yooooo

Road trip time.

If you're going in the other direction of Chiba. This arcade is pretty cool and is right by the Yotsukaido station.
I use to go there when I stayed in the area. They have a pretty cool random shmup selection

If it's early March, I might be able to swing by. 8) I'll be in Tokyo then for a week or so (I'm working over in Gifu atm).

Unfortunately, I am off to Cali for GDC and other stuff for a few weeks so will have to postpone to late Mar/early Apr.

On the plus side, more protos to play now with the addition of Yukai Tsukai, Dive Bomber Squad and Hangzo.

Ah, too bad! I would have liked to see the legendary setup.

I'll be in Tokyo from the 7th to the 13th, btw, if anyone wants to meet up at Akihabara or someplace! I have a little more research to do at the library, but I've got much more free time this visit.

I will - quite unexpectedly - be in Tokyo March 23rd - 29th. It'll be my first time in Japan, so I'm incredibly excited -- just wish I had a bit more time to plan things! Is anyone else going to be in the area? Would love to meet up with some of the JP shmups crew if I can!

I am currently in Tokyo and would like to hang out with people.

I'm already in talks with rancor about doing something on Friday. Who else is around? 8)
