We definitely should - and a half decent one this time!

Friday night we can eat at the cheap but perfectly decent Pizza place round the corner from the arcade.

Onto organising (it's getting close now!)

CHI - I'm going to bring my DDP board to the arcade on Wednesday and try and give it to The Engineer. Perhaps if he isn't in then, I can give it to you to try on Thursday (only if you're going on Thursday of course. I know you're busy).

Skykid's Pork is going to be tricky. I think we'll have to chance it that we can find The Engineer on Friday for the install.

No sweat dude, I'm definitely planning on bringing that too. :wink:
We should hit a restaurant or something saturday night :D
I know just the one. :D

"The Engineer." Sounds like a character that didn't make the final cut of The Matrix. I'll bring the Pork anyhow and hopefully there will be a chance for an install.

Good ! We'll probably need to make reservations though cause we might be numerous. Or instead we can just hit some pub.

Am looking forward too.
Do they still have a GigaWing board in the Progear cab, and does it work? :D

I've got my DDP board on me to install tonight.

I've also volunteered CHI and JDE to pick us a nice place to eat on Saturday (I'm not sure they know about that yet!).

Good to see Icarus, Raven, Dan76, JDE and CHI tonight. It was a bit of a pre-meet launch event!

DDP is installed, and I can't wait!

Just got back to the hotel after a last go on Futari 1.5 Original, beat the Reco score with around 260mil. Feeling my way back to sharpness, though the stick will cause problems with its looseness.
Good to see you again Spadgy and CHI, and first time meeting JDE and dan76. See you guys Friday!

We'll be there unless we happen to have nipped out for food (and they'll likely be a trip to the Trocadero at some point over the weekend).

Do you want my mobile number just in case Wonder Banan?

Yeah PM it over mate :)

I'm 50/50 now as I've got some Naomi panels coming down this weekend I have to pick up.

That said I might just do it on the way, might work out easier - need to get my thinking cap on. :D

Hopefully I'm not the only over 30 there :lol:

Friday will be largely in the evening. Do you have my mobile in case we're at the Trocodero or grabbing some grub (most likely we'll be at Casino almost every second though).

It's TOMORROW D:

What time are we meeting up?

*Edit Ah, evening, cool. Might bring my girlfriend along. She's not too fussed about STGs, but she plays a mean Zangief on SSF4.

Really looking forward to the meet, hardly any time to wait now! Sadly I have to work tomorrow, but I'll rush down to Casino straight afterwards - should arrive around 6PM. I'll bring my (non-) trendy neon yellow on black Soul Eater messenger bag as well, so that I'm easy to spot.

*Edit: Just found out I'll have to stay at work a bit longer than planned to cover for someone who's ill, so I'll probably get there at about 8PM.

I'm easy to recognise because I'll be the guy in the arcade you look at and think "hey what is that supercool person doing here he should be out talking to girls and doing coolpeoplethings". :smugcoolface:

Have fun!

I'm off to Cyprus now. Shame I couldn't make it. Should be down Goodge within 2 months. Passport needs to be re-issued. CHI knows the details.

I just got a call from Skykid who's there on his Jack Jones (own).

I'm on my way in about an hour, and Lordstar's inbound. Hopefully by about 5pm or 6pm a lot of us will be there.

I'll be the one with a skateboard and some pretentious hat or other...

Raven and I are wandering around London, doing our usual gallery tour. Fucking baking out here, but lovely weather compared to what we are used to up north. We'll be getting dinner, and should be at Casino at around 7.30pm. See you guys there.
