Let's do another time. I got a friend from LI who's coming into town for some shmupping goodness on the 20th/21st (not sure which yet).

Maybe the name should be changed from Brooklyn to all NYC.

Anyway, some friends and I are headed to a Barcade in Manhattan, either East Village or, less likely, Chelsea this Saturday. Anyone from here up for a meet?

About time this is going to happen.

Also, have you been to Two-Bit's Retro Arcade on Houston? If so, what's their selection like?

I've been to Two Bit, but it was almost two years ago.

More than anything I remember them having a crap load of pinball tables and apparently they still do:

Truthfully it isn't a far walk from Barcade on St. Marks to Two Bit. Especially if we make pit stops at VGNY and/or 8 Bit and Up.

I'm down for that. I've been lacking on pinball lately. It used to be easier for me to go to the one on 2nd (Modern), but maybe now I'll head to this one instead. Maybe we'll get lucky and there'll be a nice shmup or two, too.

Man, my LI friend had to last minute cancel. I'm still game though. Probably better to start with Two Bit since the beers are at Barcade! I'll be there at least as early as 3PM, when my friend can make it, but I can get there a bit earlier, too, if you want.

Kind of bummed no one else here says anything.

3 PM at Two Bit then? Works for me, I'll see you there! I'll be the guy with the Under Defeat tattoo on his arm:D

I hear you though, you would think we're the only two people in the area posting here.

Yo - Other NYC/LI/NJ pilots that are not me or o.pwuaioc:

A few of us have met up on 3 different occasions this summer. If you're in the area you should come out to the next one.

Thread will be updated then.
