This post isn't for a formal shmup meet, but it's related -
The Gallery Of Fine Hyper-Art (or GOFHA) is a mobile museum/arcade that stops around Salt Lake City at night, (check @thegofha on Instagram for its schedule).
It's driven by a shmup lover who'd love to meet up (me), and currently it's got Giga Wing 2, JPO in SLC, DDP DOJ Black Label, as well as non - shmups Altered Beast, Ghouls 'n Ghosts, and To Space, Comrade!
Please do a line here or at that Instagram if you'd like to formalize anything.
