MIDWEST MEGA BLACK LABEL DEATH MEET 11/20

[gunbird18]

Hi,

Just wondering if any of the KC/STL peeps want to meet in the middle of the state. Please give me some ideas of possible dates in November. Steer clear of the Thanksgiving weekend, and I can host any other weekend. Chicago gangstas are welcome, but I know this is a 6+ hour trip, and this is just a quick fix.

November 20th is the tentative date.

Thanks!

Enjoy your CAVE shwag! - gunbird18

[caldwert]

Hmmmmmmm, let me look and see, but damn near everything is open.

[gunbird18]

I knew caldwert would be down!

Take a good look at your calendars, boys. The Aero Table is lonely!

Alternate thread title: Beer and Pinball!

Let me know.

[caldwert]

I'm actually off the whole week of Thanksgiving so that weekend before would probably be best.

[gunbird18]

Sounds good to me...

November 20th - tentative date.

Shoot them ups and mid 80's pinball. It gets no better.

[caldwert]

What pins you have at the moment? Space Shuttle and Pin Beotch?

edit: Also, the date for me can be very flexible as that weekend is possibly bad for people with regard to travelling later in the week and school with tests

[drboom]

You know I'll be there! Pretty much any day is good with me. Schedule is open! I may see if Andi is down as well - could use some company on the drive!

[gunbird18]

Yes, Space Shuttle and Pinbeyotch!

Alright, the physician of boom has registered!
Just need to hear from the Wild Wild West posse!

[drunkninja24]

20th would work for me, I'm pretty sure. I can give you a nice reunion with your old DDP board

[Andi]

Hopefully. I don't have any plans, but I'll have to try and get some work time off.

[stuminator]

The 20th may work for me. I'll need to figure out my work schedule for that week.

[caldwert]

2 cabs or what's the forecast look like? What time will it start?

[gunbird18]

Yeah, the usual, unless one of you's wants to lug your Astros into a van.

I'm pretty sure drunken ninja has a super gun. And various consoles are welcome.

I will want things to get going by 10am, as the shmups will be numerous.

And we MUST have a high score challenge on one of the pins!

@drunkninja-DDP is required! But I will be tempted to make an offer on the board!

@stu-See what you can do, we would like to see you there!

[caldwert]

Well, you have room for multiple cabinets, I'll have to see whats up. Its easier to drive one of my 2 cars to your house, but additional cabs is optimal. Dr. Boom has to put cabinets on his head and walk them down 3 flights of stairs, so I'm not sure if he is up to bringing an Astro or not.

[drunkninja24]

Yeah, I got a supergun, I can also haul up my NeoGeo CD with some shooters, and my 360 and LCD (with rotating mount, awww yeah).

[gunbird18]

Tate-able LCD, awww yeah!

Neo CD - bring it since that has never made an appearance at a meet.

Yeah, I can't expect Boom to haul his Astro, although he is full of surprises...

[drboom]

That may be one suprise too many...and unfortunately Dave is living in Cali now, so I can't snag his. I do have a number of boards - and Andi - that I can bring though!

[Joe T.]

I cannot make it. I have too much school and work going on. Now that I work weekends as well, the majority of my free time is spent catching up on homework rather than shmupping or pinballing.

[gunbird18]

Sorry to hear about that, Joe T. Haven't seen you at a meet since the first one! Good luck with your studies! That is more important than shmups! Kidding!

I have a request with the 360's being present. I would like to have a crack at Futari again, and the weird Mamoro-kun game, or however it is spelled. I thought it looked interesting, but I never sat down to play it at the last meet.

[gunbird18]

Wow! Dave is in Cali now? How cool is that? Will miss him at the meet, though!

Be sure to bring Andi and those 5 star boards!

[caldwert]

So has anyone bought anything new since the last time? Which I guess was May? I've bought a bunch of weird shit, go figure. I have an MV-1FZ now so we can play some MVS if anyone wants.

[gunbird18]

Not much...

Just Sengoku Ace recently.

I need to get back all my good stuff I sold.

F3 set with KKT 2 and Gekirindan
ST-V set with Souky
Galuda
Mahou
Garegga

I did get a PGM Mobo and Martial Masters on the cheap. Does anyone have any good carts???

Yes, bring the MVS rig. I always like the Slugs, and I have Metal Slug X with no way of playing it.

[caldwert]

I have Demon Front, and almost every non fighting MVS game worth owning other than a few really expensive ones I haven't broken down and bought yet.

[drunkninja24]

Well, as mentioned, I got a NeoGeo CD. And thanks to it's DC-like ease of running burned games, I got myself a playable copy of Ironclad . Would still love to have the real thing, but considering the price it goes for, this'll do for now. It's a pretty interesting game, and pretty in-depth for a shmup.

[drauch]

I'd be down for going if I can get off. I don't know if I have much to bring to contribute, though. I've got a PC-Engine Duo-R but with no shmups... Everything else I have I'm pretty sure everyone else would have...Unless people want to play Windjammers on MVS.

[burgerkingdiamond]

Damn, I live in Virginia or else I would really want to come and meet some fellow shmup geeks. Too bad.

Looks like you got one closer to you coming up fairly soon:

[burgerkingdiamond]

thanks man, I found that thread immediately after posting in this one .

[stuminator]

The 20th is a go for me, I'll be there!

See if you can get away! We would like to see you here! Don't worry about contributions, most of these guys have a pretty hefty arsenal of games. The Duo - R would be great, but I don't have any of the shmups either. Windjammers is a great 2 player game, bring it!

Ninja - IRONCLAD

Stu - You know what to bring...DF and DB!!!

caldwert - bring Demon Front! There are a lot of people that don't like this game, but I like everything about this game. Awesome backgrounds, funny characters!!!
