Grand Rapids Michigan
well, i live in GR. DantesInferno is also here, but i haven't heard back from him yet.
i don't know exactly how hosting would work. i live with my parents, and we just moved, so doesn't seem like they would be particularly fond of a bunch of unknown shmupos hanging around playing games.
as far as cabs in the city. there was a strikers at a bowling alley and a 1942 at an ice rink, and as far as i have seen thats all.
send me a pm or post here if you might be interested. maybe something can be arranged.
i should note that i don't have a cab, supergun, or rgb monitor, so if a meet happens and we don't have the equipment, it will go further unused. so in summary, please help.

I have no sig whatsoever.
As I mentioned in the other thread, I'd be in for a non-UP Michigan shmupmeet. But based on other threads (Midwest and Ohio), I don't think we have enough people close enough to each other to do anything. Us Midwesterners take great pride in our vast fields of corn and nothingness, but it sure isn't conducive to a bunch of internet weirdoes playing games together.
And given that I live in ratty little apartment and do most of my shmupping in MAME on a 5 year old PC, I'm in no position to host anything or bring anything of value to the table.

I am in the Detroit area west side. Around the Jeffries (I96) and southfield (M39) freeways. I usually have a couple friends every other weekend or so. I have pretty much every system from the NES to current as well as import PS2 and Saturn and can support import play on all systems via pass thru or boot discs. I can also accomidate for Tate. I guess it would be kind of wierd haveing a bunch of people over with whom I've never met or known but then it would be fun to play Twinkle Star Sprites with some new people.

superguns that support cave boards are also good, too bad i sold my supergun off when i got my cab, else i'd schlep that too.
Sorry I am only set up for console gameplay, though I can support all consoles from NES to Wii with everything in between(exept Japan 360 - no Senko no Ronde )bay wrote: if any of you guys have a cabinet then i'd say plan around me, i'll bring pcbs. otherwise it's not too dependent around me. i'll be happy to drop in and plan my trip with you guys in mind.

Anyways I will be having a few folks over on Saturday 1-20-07. Time would likely be from around 5-6pm to whenever. We usually play any shooties as well as some quality time with some Twinkle Star Sprites. If anyone is interested please PM me and let me know.

I should like...bring beer....or something
Edit:
That was fun. Thank you Twinkle Star Sprites, for making me afraid of farm animals, Pandas, and twins.
