It's on like Donkey Kong. All booked up. Two months left!

Many thanks for the kind offer, Illyrian, however I'll be staying at Chi's for this trip.
If the offer is still open in the near-future (whenever I decide to escape the North-East again), I'll definitely take you up on it. ^_-

Wicked! A Papa DEL mini-meet? DEL's presences means it should be upgraded to midi-meet at least, even if there are just a few of us! Be good to see you DEL...

Cheers CHI & spadgy,

This Weds to Sunday confirmed. I'll be down the Western Endz for shooting, shopping & Szechuan.
It would indeed be good to see The Old m0nks plus anyone else who can make it. I've been chatting to The Old Taylor and he make come down too.

spadgy - You'll have to teach me all about X360 internet adapters and DeathSmiles IIx patches.

Happy Birthday CHI

Yep - I just got a text from m0nks! Be ace to see you again m0nks! When was the last time?

What about folks like Mulletgeezer?

And now mrs spadgy has met most of you, I reckon I'll be able to drag her along; even if just for when we go and get Pizza from the place around the corner...

Sapz should be tagging along as well, if I didn't scare him off last time!

Pretty chaotic weekend for me (now I just need a skateboard!) but I should be able to make Saturday. And I'm not entertained.

You might just be joking, but I can sincerely loan you one made from spare parts if your need a temporary set-up while you're in the UK!

Should be good this weekend, but it would be good if someone can post up when we're meeting and where on what days, as I'm kinda out of the loop down here in Brentford.

As i know from last year (i'll be working this weekend), i'll be meeting the boys at the usual place about 6pm (some peeps may meet up earlier due to the weekend), then for some food around 9pm (this could be pizza around the corner, chinese in chinatown or even pub food with a beer :wink: ), now Troc is gone, probably stroll around other arcades in central or most probably back to Casino for the final credits...

PS: other suggestions are welcome :mrgreen:

You talking about the Saturday there CHI?

Illyrian (and everyone):

We all meet from about 4pm onwards on the Friday. Usual Casino fare.

On Saturday me and Smraedis and a few others get there around 1pm or 2pm, and spend the whole afternoon and evening there, apart from a usual trip to get food and hit up some other arcades, as CHI explained.

Then, more of the same on Sunday. The stragglers spend another day caning credits and talking rubbish.

Also Spadgy as Smraedis is crashing at mine on monday I need to know what time you're kicking him out, so I can get the big gay lightgun orgy at my house going.

Well - me and Lady spadgy are likely off very early Monday morning. In fact, we should be going off late Sunday night, but I'm trying to rearrange so I can put up smraedis Sunday night.

I'll come down in the evening Friday but on Saturday and Sunday I'll probably come down in the a.m. and just hang out at Casino.

Hello spadgy! :)

I'm always interested in attending meets but I doubt I can make it this time. For one it seems there aren't any new games to tempt me down but mostly I am skint as I just came back from another holiday in Japanland a few days ago. As possibly the world's only accidental DDP tourist my last two trips have coincided with the releases of DFK and SDOJ, which is nice.

I hope you have a splendid meet.

That would be a massive help! Thanks Illyrian! And sorry Smraedis, that I can't put you up for the whole time.

Thanks mate! Maybe next time we'll see you there! Maybe we'll have a SDOJ there by then too (I'm tempted to sell off a load of my collection to get it!)

I'll be there with Donpachi. It's in my bag already!

Looking forward to meeting Mrs. Spadgy.

Remind me, didn't you say she was exceptional at light gun games?

Either way I can't attend tonight but will be down from my normal time tomorrow

I'll say I'll be down Fri Sat and Sun evening, but it's likely I'll be there all weekend after I invariably blow off coursework marking in favour of finally getting a Donpachi 1CC. Very much up for Saturday night drinking, hopefully not to the point of absolute oblivion like at JDE's birthday, but somewhat jovial, if incoherent.

Be sure to take plenty of pictures! It was really cool seeing the pictures last year. It'll make me sad there's no meets over here. ;_;
