London Meet MMXI (Fri 22nd Apr to Sun Apr 24th)

[Smraedis]

Do they still have GigaWing there, wasn't it in the Progear cab? I wouldn't be surprised if it has suicided though, but that could make a nice addition somewhere.
I don't mind about Xexex, and Akai Katana was at R3play, and it really needs a lot of time to learn how to actually play for scoring in the game, nice though!

[Skykid]

Agreed. Let's veto my Xexex suggestion, but I still think it'd be awesome to have Akai Katana if possible.

AK would be a dream in Casino, but I don't think anyone has one to loan?

Xexex is great actually, I'd like that in there, but not the intl version tbh. You want to move that, on or better yet look into rom swap possibilities?

[Dragoforce]

Ok, I'll be there.

[Lordstar]

I'm there.

[Icarus]

The time is rapidly approaching, yay. Any plans for games to go in there for the meet?

Pink pork tee shirts all round?

Good point - anybody got anything to offer? My DOJ is already in, and other than that recently I've only bought obscure crap like Mad Shark.

Anybody got anything they can bring? Perhaps Skykid's bought us an Akai Katana!?

[PROMETHEUS]

Probably going to come !
Still not 100% sure though.

[spadgy]

Probably going to come !

That would be awesome. I'm really looking forward to this.

Also, I mentioned the London Shmupmeet to The Engineer, who seemed open to a few more STG installs over that period.

Now, who's going to lend us Akai Katana

And finally - Icarus - why don't we add an attendees list to the first post?

EDIT: And DEL - do you know if you can make it yet?

[Sapz]

What sort of time are you guys going to be around Casino on saturday? Thinking about coming down for the day. It sounds awesome.

I will definitely try. If it doesn't coincide with a holiday in Cyprus then I'm there.
Only playing Pink Sweets at the moment.

[PROMETHEUS]

DEL you must come ! ;]

[spadgy]

DEL you must come ! ;]

Quite - and if you can't make it we're all coming along with you on your holiday. I'm sure your family will be delighted having us tag along

[Icarus]

Done.
Am I missing anyone?

[spadgy]

I think Lordstar is bringing along a mate. I'm not sure if he's on the list already/a forum member...

[MX7]

I'm sure I posted in this thread before... But regardless, I'll be there

[DEL]

Dammit, looks like I'm dragging you guys to Cyprus (sieverts allowing).
I'm flying around that date, so I can't make it

Looks like the only Meet I'll make this year is the German one. Which is also very good.

You'll be missed DEL.
What is the German meet ? When/Where ?
I think I love Germany :D

[Guardians Knight]

considering coming to this, altho i dont have a clue where anywhere is in London (being a dirty northerner), so perhaps some directions to the venue or some kind hearted soul would like to meet somewhere near Kings Cross? Also, Spadgy you still got that crash space available mate?

Its excellent and is hosted by Mr Robert Garcia. Located in Northern Germany near Hamburg. I drove round and picked up Plasmo on the way, back in late July last year. Sven, Emphatic & Team normally make it and a whole load of German guys. Mr Garcia really lays on a spread. He has a full sized arcade of candy cabs and rare pinball tables too. A recommended weekend.
Once again, apologies to all for not being able to make this 22nd Apr weekend. Any other time and I could have booked a Eurostar with ease.

The venue is easy to find - just hop on a tube going towards Goodge Street station, exit the station when you get there, then turn right. It's virtually next door to the station entrance. From King's Cross, just hop on the southbound Northern Line (black) a couple of stops. Goodge is also a couple of stops away from most major tube stations like Piccadilly and Oxford Circus, and about ten minutes walk away from Tottenham Court Road (which is a must-go anyway, since it's laden with technology shops).

[spadgy]

Icarus is right - it's an easy journey from Kings Cross. I'd happily come meet you at the only exit there is from Goodge Street station, and I could probably make it to Kings Cross if really needed.

Right now, my place is full, but I'll let you know if that changes.

[Guardians Knight]

thanks guys i'm sure i can find my way from those directions

[Wonderbanana]

I'm not sure how this falls yet but if I'm free I'll try and pop down and join you guys on the Sat

[CHI]

if any of you guys have PCB's to loan for this weekend...
i'll do my best to get them installed either 20th Wednesday or 21st Thursday (or earlier)...
and back out 25th Monday or 26th Tuesday (or later)

[Skykid]

Yeah right.

You want Pork? I can bring Pork.

If Prometheus is coming someone needs to bring Dodonpachi (not a problem if you want that person to be me.)

[spadgy]

I can bring DDP.

Pork is a game I really want to own on PCB soon.

Also, me, Lordstar and Mrs spadgy have been talking about how we could bring a little Easter magic to the meet as it's Easter weekend. I suggest an Easter Egg hunt around the Troc and CHI dressed as a rabbit.

That sounds like a fun idea, although I assume if the Troc's uptight security got wind of it it wouldn't go down too well.

Yep! There's no way they'll allow it. Sometimes I've been refused entry for having my skateboard with me.

Ah they're total cocks there man, I just think they're chronically bored.
