SF Bay Area meetup (Sun Apr 27th)

Post by shine »

Since I moved to the Bay Area from Spain I miss attending the incredible shmup meets done there. After some time lurking and seeing there's nothing happening here atm (that I know of), perhaps it's time to host myself!
I have 6 setups in my garage (cabs + crt + lcd), and space for around 10 ppl? If you want to hang out and play these games, this might be your chance!

Sun April 27th, 6pm to 12pm (Santa Clara Valley)

I have some goods games around, but feel free to bring any PCB/Hardware you want to play/share :)
Segasonicfan will help a bit coordinating and reaching out to people, feel free to DM me or him if you have any questions! Once you RSVP I will send exact address via PM

Heckyeah!! It's happening!
First SF Bay Area shmupmeet in... 10 years? :D
Shine has been really cool to chat with, and has an awesome setup! We're of the same mind to do a "Dave_K" style meetup, ordering some pizzas and sodas and having (friendly) competitions and such! Cave games, Neo Geo MVS, MiSter, and all the goodies are gonna be there :)
Drop Shine or me a PM to RSVP for details!

Anyone going back to SF that night? I'm back in the city... I was about to reach out to Dave K. and others and see what was going on. This will save me that hassle. I can always Uber or take a late train.

I suck ass at shmups these days. I've even started calling them shmups. That's how lame I am. My new job has DS: Mega Black Label and like a shit head I've tried playing on all 999, and it's going poorly. If you have a cool platform game that would be nice. The one and only Bay Area meet I went to I 1CC'd Rastan and mic dropped. I doubt that will happen again.

I am down. I will have to check if I am booked to work that weekend. Crossing fingers. Been years since I've been to a shmup meet. Thanks for offering to host BTW.
