yeah, change the date. I just found out what I already agreed to Saturday

curse you girlfriend....curse you....



If the date is kept, I'd try a cameo for awhile



I'm doin' Tigers on 27th. I'm jealous of your Pistons tickets.

April 28th works well for me as opposed to April 21st. If the 28th is not good for people, how would the 11th of May sound?

My house with the rather spacious basement is available again for the next meet as well guys.

I might have some unexpected events poping up around the 28th

I am thinking of May 11 is a good idea.

What do you guys think?

Post ideas and Feedback!!

I'm leaving for Japan for two weeks May 10th, so if you have it the 11th, I won't be able to attend

I'm going on a trip from the the 11th to the 14th so that dates no good.

I'm open whenever, I just need to know well in advance. Hopefully at least 2 weeks in advance.

5/11 is fine, turns out 4/28 is fine, too.

I am looking at calendar, and May 11 is Friday. May 12?

So May 12, 2007 is good?

I am thinking that this is the best choice right now.

Whoops, I thought the 11th was Saturday. 12th it is then.

I think that date is good for Zero and me. That's the weekend of the Mayn Event though. I don't know if anyone planned on going to that or not. I almost had to work it, but luckily I got out of it =P.

Is May 12 an official date, then? Some people have already said that won't work for them, but setting a date that works for everyone is probably impossible.

May 12 is pretty much the date. Ayanami has offered his residence again for the gathering. BIG THANKS Ayanami!

Just give us an official post (or even PM) if you can OR cannot attend. Most have said that they could attend so it looks as it will work for a good turnout.

FYI the following gathering will be set in JULY:

Summer Carnival 2007!

I was going to go, but I prefer to do the shmup gathering. I am kinda retired as far as competitive fighting games go.

Its goin be time!

I've been playing some Twinkle Star Sprites in MAME, so hopefully I'll fare better this time. I still can't beat Memory, though.

Sonic R pls bring yr Recca. I want to see what is so great about an old Famicom game that u payed $200 for it and put it number 1 in yr Top 25.

Roster update!




Will bring Recca. Be ready to be amazed

Looks like I'm not gonna be able to go. In case anybody's wondering where Robo's been, he's been in the hospital having surgery, he's all done now and he's fine but he'll need time to recover so I doubt he will be attending ether. My pal Andy isn't that into shmups so he's probaly not going. He might go with me on the next Shmupmeet though.

Sorry you guys can't make it out this time.

Good to hear that ROBO is ok and back at home

Hope to see everyone at the next one...

Summer Carnival 2007 (coming in July)

Actually last I heard he was still recovering in the hospital, and doesn't know when they'll be letting him out. Granted, that was last week ;p

Of note is that July 6th there is going to be an orchestrated concert at the DSO of video game music! I'm willing to bet most of the people on here will be interested in that, so it may be reasonable to not schedule event at the same time as the concert.

Wishing the best for ROBOTRON

Thanks for the heads up about the concert. I think some of us may very well be attending that. (we had gone to the Final Fantasy concert 2 years ago)

Still working out the details for Summer Carnival 2007.

Alright, I have sent PMs.

If you are not on Sonic R's list and wish to attend, speak up in this thread and I will send you a PM.

Sorry it took so long with the PMs and all, been a tad busy as of late.

Ok guys its on for Saturday! See ya around 4pm!

@Ayanami - I'll give call to you tomorrow and try to get there a little early to help for set up.

Any last requests?
I'll bring the Duo and the AES for sure.

I personally haven't gotten much lately other than Karous (Ayanami already has this) Raiden III (every one pretty much have this), and Red Star.

I am going to practice some TSS (la petite princess) to be a little more sharp this weekend

Final Bump reminder!

See you tomorrow!
Its time are you ready?
