MD/DC/VA Fall 2017 Shmupmeet - November 4

Post by StarCreator »

It's been pointed out to me it's about that time again. September was pretty crazy for me but October looks pretty clear. I'm good to host again if you guys are good with it. Still haven't pulled the PVM in from the garage or set up anything to feed into it though, though I at least confirmed it still displays a picture.

Going to tentatively say we should try for October 14 or 28; I'm almost certainly going to be busy on the 7th. I wanted to keep the 21st free just in case, but if that date works better I can probably shift things around to accommodate. Let me know what you guys think!

I'm more partial to the 14th but we can do the 28th if that works out better for others (although, that's really close to Halloween and I assume folks would probably schedule parties that weekend).

October is out for me but I can do the first 3 weekends in November while the wife and kid are back in Japan.

November 4 is good for me. I could also do November 11 but I'm not available after that.

So we're settled on November 4?

Looks like Raiden V will be the new-ish thing out by then. Aka to Blue is also out, but I'm not sure I can swing getting that working in a cab right now...

So it turns out this is the same day as the start of the WMGSO's late 2017 concert series: https://wmgso.org/event-list/56-fall-20 ... -rockville

Going to keep to schedule since some people have already asked for it off work. Gotta get someone to tape the concert for me lol

Week and a half away now!

Work has been crazy so I haven't gotten my wiring projects done. I was hoping to have a supergun with RGB out so we could pull the PVM out, but I guess it's probably staying in the garage this time too.

Will do. MAGFest is essentially the first meet of the year but we will probably aim to do another around late February or early March.

Great! Unfortunately, I'm going to miss MagFest this year.

Did any of you actually get a hotel room in the Gaylord this year? It was a mess last year and I ended up staying in Alexandria and using uber. Which was ok, but it wasn't fun carrying around my huge winter jacket and all the stuff I'd bought the entire time.

Anyone planning another MD/DC/VA Shmupmeet?
I'd definitely be interested in going to the next one.

Thanks!
