Thanks for hosting everyone Frenetic! You and your wife were very hospitable and everyone enjoyed the great gaming setup. It was fun meeting other forum members and seeing some good runs, especially the 1CC of Gradius 2

[Dumple]

Thanks so much Frenetic for hosting - and special thanks for setting up Gradius II! Most of my shmupping is on MAME so getting to play that on cab was a real treat. I was proud to show off a clear, after a couple of failed attempts (third time's the charm!)

I had a great day - was great to see some familiar faces and meet most of you for the first time. Lots of great people and great games all in one place.

[Necronopticous]

Good times as always!

[Frenetic]

Thank you everyone for bringing food and fun to the shmupmeet. It was great seeing all of you again and just sharing the good vibes.

Here's some pics I took at the shmupmeet. Feel free to post up yours if you took any.

Too bad I couldn't make it to this one, as I had a previous commitment ( why did they have to be the same day ) . Its nice seeing these meetups still going. Would love to go to the next one. Heck,, I wouldn't mind hosting one myself, don't have arcade cabs though, but I got a bunch of console shmups.

[Gamer707b]

Anyone down for a meet up? Its been a while.

[Frenetic]

I've been pretty busy with work as of late, but if someone wants to host one you have my blessing!

Cheers,
the F-man

Im out in Bakersfield and would love to host one. Though I don't have any cabs. just a bunch of console shmups.
