Minnesota Gathering

Post by ookitarepanda »

There aren't too many of us in the MN area, but I'm organizing a gathering with the usual suspects over from NG.com if any MN/IA/WI shmuppers wanna come as well. It's not entirely a "shmup"meet, but there will be a few shooters to play. Not sure how many of my boards I'll bring, if any, since I don't have a supergun and bringing a cab might be difficult. If there's enough interest some day, we could have a specifically shmup-centered gathering sometime.

If you have any questions, just send me a PM.

Yay party! It's been a while since we've seen you, too! Alex says he hasn't called you since he became unemployed last year, but now he's employed again so I don't know what his deal is. You should see the PCBs we've amassed over here.

Anything in particular that people are bringing? I should probably practice a bit.

I'll be bringing my SNES and Genesis with a few things. Alex will bring his J360 with the Cave games, though he does not have Deathsmiles.

As far as PCB stuff, I'm going to be bringing my MVS unit and some Neo Geo games. Aside from that, I've got some surprises to bring that I think you'll really enjoy.

For some reason my neo-geo account isn't active yet, but just wondering if we can crash there for the night? And I could bring Deathsmiles.

Dunno about crashing there because it's an apartment building party room - people will most likely be up really late, though.

Should be a really awesome time. Just buzz 224 to get in, or you can call me: 651 - two four five, 9 two four five. I'm Jon, and I'm the one with the big beard :P (there's no beard smiley on here!)

I'll be up there somewhere around 2:30 and I have tons of crap I have to unload.

Necrothread!

So how'd this go? I'd love to see another meetup happen, even if I have to organize it. Maybe something could be arranged at a central location that would be open to the public.

In the last few months, Aquas and Jeneki have started to join me, Kiel, Poodude, and our friend Alex for our weekly Monday night tradition of hanging out. If you ever want to join in, just let me know.

As far as a gathering, I am soon to be on summer vacation, and I won't be teaching Summer school this year, so we'll probably put something together at a slightly larger scale like the last few times.

Dang Panda.... Wish I checked here before I posted on the other forum.

I'll be in MN starting mid August. Are the Monday night meetups still semi-regular?

I've got the Cave collection as well as some other J360 shmups. If you guys are close, I might be able to bring some variation to the game list. I'll be staying/working in the Oakdale area.

I just moved into an apartment up in St. Paul (55117), so my stuff is reeeeally messy at the moment. Boxes everywhere. PCBs aren't even put on their shelves yet. It's a disaster.

That being said, normal monday night stuff is likely to continue to occur, but I'm not sure at what capacity yet.

As for a full-on gathering, no clue. The NG guy who normally hosts us for gatherings can't - or won't, I don't know - so nothing's been put together for this summer, unfortunately.

New house is moved into, but getting some projects done. Perhaps the end of the summer, I can host!
