Chicagoland Winter Carnival 2011 - March 4th-6th

[drboom]

Oh yeah - I pm Joe as soon as I saw that! Been dying for some mmp love...

[drboom]

Hi all, I don't have any cabs and I've never been to a shmupmeet before but I can be of some use perhaps. If any one needs help transporting a cabinet I do have a pick-up truck and I'm willing to help move 'em around the chicagoland area. I'm loacated about 80 miles southwest of Chicago.

Sorry - totally missed your post in the run of things - i think we are good bringing cabs up here and you are more than welcome to attend. Good to see more Chicagoland shmuppers popping up.

[drboom]

I did want to ask everyone planning on comming to shoot off a pcb list here> I'm trying to come up with a second shooting contest title (one old - already chosen and one new) and would like to do a round robin tourney on two cabs with pcb's. Hoping to get two good pcb's...

If I can make it, Ibara will be there.

I really wanna try Mamoru-kun if any of you J360 guys have it... Sonic R?

[jonny5]

sadly it looks like i wont be able to make the trip....

it seems i dont have all the necessary ID to get my passport sorted, and it will take minimum 4-6 weeks to get what i need

shitty buzz

[TLB]

D= Drive, then!

[jonny5]

whether i fly or drive it still involves crossing the border which requires a passport

although i dont have a car, or more importantly, a license

[TLB]

Psh, you can dodge dat shit. You could pick me up on your way down, too =P Just steal a car and be right on your merry way ^_~

[croikle]

All right, we gotta take a trip and smuggle jonny5 across the border. Who's in?

[TLB]

ME

[jonny5]

its my own fault tbh

i left it thinking i had everything in order and then i go to fill out the forms and realized i didnt have the necessary ID to get my passport

if i had got on this when i first found out like 2 months ago i would have been fine

still sux tho

[drboom]

Man, that really does suck. No possible way? We'll pour some out for the homie who couldn't be here.

the problem is i need to get a form of government issued ID with a photo, like our new health cards.....main issue is it takes 4-6 weeks to get your health card issued.....and then i would need a week to get my passport....

simply not enough time now

man im an idiot.....

Mamoru-kun √
I will be bringing it along as well as the rest of my Japanese 360 library

[drboom]

OK - after talking it over with a few guys, I have decided on two scoring titles: Battle Garegga (pcb) and Soldier Blade - 2 Minute Mode.

gunbird18 and I will have identical Garegga boards (Japan version with zakk roms) and we will run a round robin contest. Last man standing wins. The bracket will be set up by lottery and score - not distance - will count.

Soldier Blade 2 Minute mode will be a classic high score contest with the top scorer getting a special prize.

I hope I can convince Hudson to sponsor us again and I'm getting a few sponsors from the area as well.

In NYC fr the next few days oin business, but I will add the contest to the main post when I get back.

I'm also planning a non-shmup title for a midnight scoring contest after many beers have been drunk...

[jonny5]

[drboom]

how about using a fake passport?

We should really organize a "Smuggle in jonny5" mission for the meet.

sadly its hard for me to impersonate anybody because i have big holes in my ears...nor do i really want to fuck with american customs....they might shoot me

i could go over the falls and swim across

[gunbird18]

I would like to play Dyna Gears on your MAME box while I am drunk. That game is crazy-fun when I am sober, I am wondering if it will be trippy when I am retarded drunk.

I'm sure it's changed by now, but last time I took the ferry across from Canada they barely even blinked at us. Though we were in a car with Michigan plates.

as of this july past passports are required for entering or leaving the US from/to canada by both air and ground

before that i could have just come across on the bus....you only needed the passport if coming in by air......there was no need for it with ground travel

curses

[TLB]

Down here, you can walk into the DMV with a birth certificate and a social security card and they hand you an ID card that you can use in the same situations as a license of driving. Fucking Canada >:|

[jonny5]

we have similar things here, but they all send the card to you to verify address

fastest would be to get my new health card, which i need to do anyways....but it requires taking a day off work and going down to the place and queueing for 5 hrs or so to file my papers and then 4-6 weeks for them to process and get them to me

i could also get an age of majority card but again 4-6 weeks

i dont get what the problem is....its not like once i got into the states i would want to stay or something....

them dang canadians are after our jobs and electricity i reckon
