Seattle meet @ Northwest Pinball Show

Just putting this here for reference. Part of the Pink Gorilla crowd will be attending on Friday, so here's a heads-up for other Seattle-area shmuppers! Bobby says he's got ESP Ra.De and Viper Phase 1 PCBs, and we might see the return of Ibara Black Label, so that's nice.

Already got my tickets, so I'll be there!

I'll be there on Friday for sure! I've been super busy with school and work lately so it'll be nice to just relax and shmup for a day.

Hey guys, sorry for the letdown but I'm not able to borrow any PCBs this time around, so Ibara Kuro and such are out. I will most likely have one of the Espgaludas, Esprade, and a couple of other games set up. Options would be DDPDOJ, any of the 3 Raiden Fighters (or Viper Phase), Batrider, etc. Basically any of the games that I ever had set up (for more than one day) at PG.

It should be a lot of fun, though! I have to heavily encourage that anyone interested in arcade games on any level attend this whether or not they can come to the semi-shmupmeet on Friday. We have almost 400 arcade games and pinball machines this year and they're all free to play once you're inside. All non-profit, run by volunteers like me, and all games donated by local collectors. It's my favorite event of the year by far!

Bobby,

NOT A LETDOWN!

It will be great to play on your cabs again and thanks for volunteering your time to make this event even more awesome. I'm really looking forward to it.

It would be cool to see all three ESP games lined up just for the spectacle of it all, but I will enjoy whatever's there.

[marus]

Indeed - I'll be happy just to see everyone again regardless of whatever's set up!

Although now that you mentioned it, I wouldn't mind giving Batrider another spin!

[marus]

I'll try to show up at 12:00 tomorrow. Hope to see everyone there!

[wnka]

I'll probably be there by 6pm tonight.

[Vexorg]

Dang, missed this thread earlier. Anyone else planning to be there tomorrow? I'm planning to head over sometime in the morning.

[RNGmaster]

Anyone ready to plan the next meet?

[marus]

I'm busy right now getting ready for Evo (a big fighting game tournament). After that I still have school, though I'll still have some free time. I'll be pretty open to do stuff after August though.

[Vexorg]

Anyone else headed to PAX this year? Usually not a lot of Shmup content there, but we could probably manage to put something together in console freeplay.

[marus]

I'll be working at PAX this year as part of Pink Gorilla's booth. I probably won't have much free time to actually play games though, but if I do have time off then I'd be down for a session.

I'll be at PAX on Saturday. Should be fun! Hope the swag is better this year!

[RNGmaster]

Didn't get a ticket to PAX, but if anyone wants to hang out afterwards that'd be great.

I wonder if the PG would be OK with a console meet.

[marus]

lol I wouldn't mind if a couple of you wanted to hang out at the University District store on Friday or Saturday. I'm gonna be bored out of my mind since I won't get to work at the convention itself until Sunday

[SunJammer]

anyone else going to this years' show?

[wnka]

yea I'm planning on being there most of the time

[marus]

I'll be there most of Saturday. I'm not sure how much shmup stuff they'll have, but it should be fun irregardless!
