Summer 2024 MD/VA/DC Shmupmeet

[Kiken]

So it's been quite a while since we all met, no doubt plenty of stuff going on in everyone's lives but I figured that we should try to shoot for something in July if that works. Feel free to post proposed dates.

Not the weekend after the 4th, we're doing big maintenance at work through the long weekend. Everything else is open at this point.

[StarCreator]

I'm only available on the 13th and 20th, unless I've forgotten to add something to my calendar...

If needed I can host, but July is a bigger than normal challenge for me. Might be best for someone else to host this time, but I can still bring the exA along with the four games I have for it.

I'm up for it. I'll have family visiting until July 8 but after that as far as I know I don't have anything specific lined up.

Alas I have no cabs I can provide for setups, though I do have a couple CRTs (one yoko, one tate). So in theory if someone has superguns I can make that work here.

[Kiken]

Should we shoot for July 20th then?

[XtraSmiley]

I'd be happy to bring a SuperGun and an RT4K and of course, weird PCBs as usual.

I've been lurking here a while. I live in Baltimore, MD and would love to make it to a shmup meet. I don't have cabs. Only stuff I have are the sega saturn shmups i bought when I was in Japan 20 years ago.

[ubersaurus]

I'm cool with the 20th. Am I hosting then or is someone else interested? Just gotta make sure my wife is fine with it if so - in which case I'd probably also aim for early afternoon as my toddler's bedtime is around 7:30! Hard to run things too late with him being the next room over.

[Kiken]

So it looks like the 20th will be the date.

StarCreator won't be able to host this time so Minzoku and I can (I have two cabs plus numerous CRTs). If that'll work for everyone I can shoot those who would like to attend my address.

[Kiken]

See you all tomorrow!

[XtraSmiley]

What time is everyone showing up?

I'll bring some games, any requests?

[Kiken]

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend.

[Needmoarbombs]

Thanks for having me. Glad to meet everyone and looking forward to future meet ups. I thought i was doing pretty well on the mushihimesama futari until I remembered I was only on easy mode

[XtraSmiley]

Thanks for hosting! I had a blast as usual.
