Think I might just be driving out same as before so I don't have to worry about things I can pack on the train lol
Balling!

Anyone have a USB microphone we can use? I really want to bring my audio interface, but dunno if it's even possible to connect to my laptop.
Also quick update from Doc: he has no JP PS2s or X360s. Trying to get few more details out of the way before we're set for the meetup.

I have a USB headset that also requires audio ports (mic+headphone jack). turtle beaches... could bring those if that works!

also, not sure exactly when, but I might be out on one of the days. a new niece is on the way with an expected due date of that weekend so I might be possibly playing one of the days by ear.

Noted! Congrats btw when that time comes.
We'll definitely try to aim for pizza on Friday then. We can also hold a little TSS matches for a livestream while we're at it.
Also I have hotel room booked. If you're planning to stay, let me know ASAP so I can figure out how much it cost per person.

So what time are people planning to meet at GG on Friday? Any ideas yet? Or is anybody organizing for a breakfast or something that morning? Just trying to play my schedule/packing as well as I can

I gotta drive from southwest MO, so I'll leave in the morning and probably be up there in the early evening hours, like 6-7PM or so, maybe a bit earlier.

I'm probably setting up in the morning so Doc and his crew can help me out get my stuff into the console area. I would recommend people stopping by in the afternoon wise so I can figure out how much pizza we need to get.

I'll be working on Friday and getting off at 5, but I'll already have my boards packed (including dangun for the time attack tourney) in the gf's car so we'll likely drive straight there from the loop.

not sure what my plan is on saturday but I might have to be out for a lot of it since my dad will be in from Portland and everyone will be crowding my sister to see my new niece. I might not miss any of it or might show up later on.
I plan on being in for the rest of it on Sunday.

Maybe I missed it, but was there a list of what everyone was bringing? Won't bring my Feveron since Some-Mist already is but I've got about a dozen PCBs I can bring.

Just checked out GGA's website and they already have a lot of my stuff... I've added a few I can bring that I didn't see on their list.

It was so great seeing everyone again as well as new faces (to me at least)! I wish I could have spent more time with you guys but I'm glad we could at least share a couple of pizzas. Like some-mist said, many thanks to beatsgo for making this happen!

Also had a great time over the weekend, meeting Some-Mist, Majik, and Sturminator for the first time and seeing the rest of you guys again. It was also a much-needed trip to GGA which I haven't got to make as often as I'd like. Glad everyone had a good time there and it was a lot of fun bringing new games to share with people who haven't got to check them out yet. Hopefully we'll have another before the end of the year or maybe early next year.

Heck yeah, GP! We would love to have you come out. You can even play some 360 games on your old console you sold me years ago :D

that'd be awesome! I'd be coming from Hermosa/Chicago so there might be a way for me to coordinate that as long as I can attend ;)
