Chicagoland Spring Carnival future + announcement

[jonny5]

Brendz and I should be rolling in around 2 PM Friday so we will find our way to Logan's from there.

Probably have to stop for some beerz after the 13 hour bus ride though

And I am not going to bring Guwange, simply because I don't want customs poking and prodding the board. Sorry.

See you guys in a week or so

[drboom]

No problem about not bringing Guwange - totally understandable. And let me know what station you guys are arriving at in the city and I'll give you all directions to Logan. Easy to get to from public transit. See you in a week!

I got a city map app for chicago on my phone and I have your place and Logan's marked. Should be fine. Looking at the map it looks like the nearest transit station to your place is Belmont, ya? Not too clear on the different color lines

Worst comes to worse, depending where the bus lets us off, Brendz and I can just hop in a cab to Logan's and then we will be in the neighborhood.

[drboom]

It is - Red Line stop at Belmont - block and a half from my front door. Looking forward to it!

Well my plans to stay in Chicago for the weekend has fell through. Since I'm pretty new to the event I'm going to hangout on Saturday only. However I am really excited for the meetup. See you guys in Chicago next week. ;3

So, my girlfriend wants to come to this for reasons I have yet to comprehend (I'm guessing 5% curiosity, 5% having an excuse get out of Toledo for a couple days, 90% wanting to go to Kuma's again). So we'll be there, although we'll be getting a hotel room somewhere near the Brown Line.

Gah, I need to talk to the Michiganders again. They never post here anymore, but some of them expressed interest on Facebook.

I also need to brush up on Twinkle Star Sprites... as defending champ, the pressure is on!

I havent posted in a while and I dont see my hubby confirming it but we will also be there likely Saturday. We will be getting a room after last years fiasco driving home and nearly ending up as roadkill LOL.

[drboom]

@Triggerheart - awesome - look forward to hanging with you both again!

@beatsgo - good to hear you are comming - bone up on your caravan titles and some Twinkle Star Sprites...

[Sonic R]

well, upon discussion with the wife, it looks as if we will be in attendance for Saturday… 

I can bring along my Japanese Xbox 360 and the games I have…

not sure what else I could contribute? I'll have my Lynx for my personal play…

I really haven't been playing alot of 'newer' games for a while, I'm pretty much just playing pre-crash games these days, with the occasional NES, SMS, TG-16, and Jaguar in the mix… I am well aware there is no interest in these things, but I have alot of console shooters, if there is anything someone has an interest to play, mention it and I'll look if I can bring it along (as well as any necessary console)

see everyone Saturday!

[drboom]

Linda will be around Friday from 3pm onward, so if you are planning on coming into town and staying with me from Friday, you can drop your gear off first at my place and then meet me over at Logan.

Also - if you need my address, pm me and I will shoot you details this week. I will be setting up the backroom at Logan all week - bringing over the last of the Astro cabs tonight and tables, chairs, snacks, drinks, gear all this week.

[caldwert]

Dudes, I just checked out the Logan Hardware website and watched the Vimeo teaser video. Dr. Boom, you deserve incredible amounts of kudos for this meet.....and it hasn't even begun!!!

I nearly passed out from the selection of vintage arcade titles available!!! This weekend will go down in the record books, no joke!

[drunkninja24]

Looking forward to this, I may be out for a while Friday or Saturday night visiting some other friends in the area (and probably trying to drag them to Logan as well ) but I'll definitely be down for the goods!

[drboom]

caldwert - if you wouldn't mind, add in super contra and Ibara and that sounds fantastic!

And yeah - the selection there is nuts - this should be an awesome meet.

I can toss my DC in my bag, but I don't have space for sticks. Ill bring the DC, ikaruga, bangai o, and a psx adapter. I have a few burned games too but I don't remember what ones.

It'd be nice if we could muster two good sticks for TSS. If I still had one, I'd bring it.

My favorite part of the ride to Chicago... actually makes me appreciate Toledo to a certain extent.

I'm bringing one multiconsole stick and a 360 only 4 button job to show off . I can bring a straight up DC stick if necessary....but the multiconsole = DC too.

[t0yrobo]

My DC/psx adapter is a little flakey, but it should do. Its only real .problem is reading vmus
