Southern California Shmeet

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Mon Dec 12, 2005 10:08 pm

I want to have a shmeet at my house on Saturday, Jan. 21. I have two New Astro City cabs, a NEO GEO cab, and an old vertical cab that can only play PCBs with the "flip screen" feature. There will be food and drinks. If anyone wants to pitch in some cash to help, it would be nice, but it's not required. I was thinking of starting at noon and finishing late at night or when everyonr leaves. I have these games we could play:

PCB
Aero Fighters 2
Armed Police Batrider
Battle Bakraid
Blazing Star
Dangun Feveron
Do Donpachi Dai Ou Jou
Donpachi
Dragon Blaze
ESPGaluda II
ESPrade
Galaga
Gunbird
Gunbird 2
Ibara
Life Force
Raiden
Sonic Wings 3
Strikers 1945+
Strikers 1945 III
Tengai
Twinkle Star Sprites

I also have a TV we can tate if someone wants to bring a console.

What part of southern california are we talking about? LA/Orange County area?

If so count me in.

I have a pretty varied selection of Dreamcast and Saturn and dare I say it even a few Genesis shooters I could bring along.

Sounds like fun. If it's not too far count me in.

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 1:39 am

I'm in Simi Valley, which is right next to the San Fernando Valley.

benstylus · Post by **benstylus** » Tue Dec 13, 2005 2:43 am

eh that's not too far. If anyone in Orange County (huntington beach / westminster / garden grove area) wants to save some gas and carpool, let me know.

If you don't mind I would be interested. I'm in the city of Santa Ana so it's not too far from those cities.

Anyone else interested?

cigsthecat · Post by **cigsthecat** » Fri Dec 16, 2005 1:07 pm

I will probably be able to come.

Ibara!

Hmm, yeah, this sounds cool, and yeah, if anyone in the LA/San Fernando Valley area is lookin to carpool, hit me up on AIM. SN is Gilbordo.

Edit: On second thought, just reply to this post in the thread, since I haven't been on AIM to often lately

bigbadboaz · Post by **bigbadboaz** » Tue Dec 20, 2005 1:44 pm

I would like to attend but I won't know if I'm free until much closer to the date. Sounds like we could potentially get one massive carpool going from the LA vicinity! Can the freeways handle a van full of shmuppers???

Triple Lei · Post by **Triple Lei** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 6:10 pm

I'd like a piece of this, but I'm totally going to need a ride. (cigs, I'm looking in your direction...)

BIG · Post by **BIG** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 6:15 pm

I still need to find someone in the LA area to carpool with,but yeah,count me in.

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Mon Dec 26, 2005 1:58 am

and of course I can bring some cash for snacks or even trades/sales if people want to arrange them.

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 9:04 pm

I actually got a modded PS2. It should be ready to go before the shmeet date. I have a big screen TV that we can play on and a TV to tate, so if someone brings another console we can put it on the tate TV. We'll figure out food and stuff next week.

Triple Lei · Post by **Triple Lei** » Sat Jan 07, 2006 6:10 pm

I'm wondering who I should PM my address to... maybe I could just PM it to Ramus and let him sort it all out?

It's not like I'm any good with directions anyway.

With benstylus bringing the other motherload, all I have to offer is my PS2 Dodonpachi Dai-ou-jou (for the DVD I suppose) and the Shikigami no Shiro 2 Appreciate DVD... and some cash for food and drinks and stuff...

benstylus · Post by **benstylus** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 2:55 am

Lei if we knew what city you were in we might be able to get a better idea of who to talk to about getting you a ride...

benstylus · Post by **benstylus** » Sun Jan 08, 2006 11:38 pm

OK, looks like Triple Lei is about 15 or so miles out of the way for me...

He's probably more out of the way to everyone else though (if the cities in your profiles are correct).

Is anyone coming from the Riverside/San Bernardino county area or the Eastern part of LA county (West Covina, Pomona, Ontario, etc)?

If you are, please get in touch with Triple Lei and see if you can make carpool arrangements.

If needs be I can do it, but I'm already picking up Sparky. And I have 2 door Neon... not a lot of leg room in the back seats...

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 1:00 am

Okay, I got my Galuda 2 today. How does everyone feel about a little tournament?

WTF!! Damn I wish I could drive down to LA for this meet.

BIG · Post by **BIG** » Sat Jan 14, 2006 9:31 pm

Anyone in the greater Los Angeles area?

I'm in Downtown,and I need a lift...

B-

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Mon Jan 16, 2006 9:39 pm

Okay, it's less than a week away. If you are going, PM me and I'll give you my address. You might want to wear flip-flops because there is a no shoe rule in my house.

DeusFNL · Post by **DeusFNL** » Tue Jan 17, 2006 1:46 am

Ugh, I'm up in Studio City (aka next to San Fernando and Burbank). I'd volunteer to drive, but

A. Don't know if I can go yet, depends on how much shit I can get done on Friday.

B. Been driving for only like half-year

Oh and, Math 260=Precalc at Community Colleges

bigbadboaz · Post by **bigbadboaz** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 5:04 pm

B, I'm going and I can take you along. Is there any way you could get to my side of the city, though, so we could just hop on the 405 from here?

Is anyone else coming from the LA/Santa Monica/Westside area, or passing through via the 405, so we can make this a larger carpool?

Ramus, PM sent.

DeusFNL · Post by **DeusFNL** » Wed Jan 18, 2006 9:50 pm

Ugh, If I go, I was going to take the 405 toward Sacramento to connect CA-118. And I live like 10 minutes from West Hollywood

Ramus · Post by **Ramus** » Thu Jan 19, 2006 11:42 pm

Sent a PM to you Cigs, but it's still in the out box along with a few other PMs from the other day. Hope it sends soon.

cigsthecat · Post by **cigsthecat** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 12:54 am
