This is confirmed, Saturday July 21st
1:30 - 10:30 ish

Potential shmuppers:
szycag (that's me!)
stuminator (his place!)
oxtsu (from oklahoma city and providing the good stuff!)
gunbird18 (a tad bit closer!)
Damocles (not confirmed... anyone heard of Horton KS?)

Oxtsu will be providing a few Cave PCBs, such as Mushi Futari (!) and Ketsui (!!!)... and we'll have plenty of console stuff to go around too.

If you need directions PM one of us!

Right now we are planning on Friday June 8 if anyone else is interested.

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Mon Jun 04, 2007 2:44 am

I might be able to do a Friday or Saturday. But not June 8...

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Tue Jun 05, 2007 7:12 pm

Yeah, looks like June 8 is kinda early... This will probably be a few weeks further down the road. Hopefully we'll have a few more people this way. Anyone want to suggest a date?

oxtsu · Post by **oxtsu** » Sat Jun 09, 2007 8:49 pm

June 23

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 10:29 pm

I can do June 23, but only until about 6:30 or so. I am completely open any other time that weekend.

oxtsu · Post by **oxtsu** » Thu Jun 14, 2007 11:19 pm

hmm. Well, it would be a 5 hour drive for me, so perhaps another day.
I'm open most any Fri/Sat. So I take it you would be the one hosting, stuminator?

I can bring some games (and setup). Let me know what interests from here.

UMMM KETSUI PLZ

Sometime in July might actually be better for me. How are your schedules then? I'm also pretty open.

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Fri Jun 22, 2007 3:29 am

July is looking good to me.

oxtsu

KETSUI and GUWANGE?????

We are paying for this man's gas!

Maybe I should host one later and someone can help me with my newly acquired Egret II.

oxtsu · Post by **oxtsu** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 1:41 pm

lol free gas

what's the ETA on your Egret II?

I have plans around July 4th .. the rest of the month looks open (Saturdays: 14th, 21st, 28th).

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 1:44 pm

July 21st would definitely be best for me. I already have plans on the 14th and 28th.

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Sat Jun 23, 2007 3:52 pm

I already have the Egret 2. Just waiting on a working board so that I know this expensive piece of metal and fiberglass works!

I will look into July 21st and let you guys know.

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 3:30 am

I can be there July 21st if you boys decide to make this a definite!

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Sun Jul 01, 2007 1:20 am

Okay, stu & szycag, what are you guys cooking up for the 21st? Where will this HUGE event take place? We will need a lot of space for...uhmm, approx 4 guys.

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 3:19 am

It looks like this thing is migrating to Oxtsu's place, in Oklahoma City. Still on the 21st I think... So is anyone closer to that area?

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 4:58 pm

That would be a 6 hour drive for me. I am out of the picture for this meetup.

szycag -- Yes, still the 21st.

g18 -- Let's get your E2 running .. perhaps you can host next time. :)

bay -- ditto zomg ! ! !

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:55 pm

Unfortunately I need to stay in KC on the 21st because of work. It will be mid-September before I have a weekend that I don't work and don't already have plans.

oxtsu · Post by **oxtsu** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:49 am

hmm..

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 12:00 am

Talked with Stuminator and he's still willing to host in KC on the 21st: people can stay over, however, he has to be up and around to work very early that next morning (like 3:45 am early) so he thought that would likely be a problem for the other two of you. Guess this depends how big of earlybirds you guys are... I imagine Gunbird might be able to manage the 2 hour or so trip that Saturday night though, don't know how you feel about night driving so that's totally cool if you're not up to it... but Oxtsu's trip would be twice that so he would need to stay in KC that night.

Sorry about the speculative nature of all this lately, it's hard organizing these things, I just want to find something we're all happy with!

Damocles · Post by **Damocles** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:50 am

I could probably be in since I live about 1 1/2 hours away and my gf lives down on the Plaza.

...not that I have anything worthwhile to contribute...

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Sat Jul 07, 2007 10:19 pm

Updated the first post with some finalized info
Don't worry about contributing anything Damocles I think we'll have our hands full! Hope you're a Cave fan

and hope you can make it!

oxtsu · Post by **oxtsu** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 12:49 am

Damocles, Gunbird18 -- If you want me to bring anything specific just let me know.

tentative list:

PCB_

Ketsui
Mushihime Futari ver1.5
19XX
Dragon Blaze
Guwange
Progear
Batrider
Battle Bakraid

console_

Sin & Punishment (N64)

equip_

Sony PVM-1910 RGB monitor
Micomsoft XRGB-2
1 supergun
2 sticks for sg, seimitsu parts
RAP2 w/LS32 for PSX, possibly sg if I have time

That should be more than enough, but feel free to request others. :)

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 2:37 am

Oh, don't worry oxtsu, Futari and Ketsui are enough to make me drive 90 mph on I-70! Looks like a great line-up! Can't wait any longer!

Aleanil · Post by **Aleanil** » Thu Jul 12, 2007 3:29 am

Kansas City, huh? Would there be space for a relative neophyte, a mewling babe, unschooled in the ways of shmup mastery? That is to say, would there be room for another person

I've never played a real arcade machine before (the arcade in Manhattan was pulled a while ago, and I had never gone there; my shmup fixation is relatively new). I'd probably gain as much out of it just from watching as playing

So, any chance you could count me in as a potential?

gunbird18 · Post by **gunbird18** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 7:32 pm

Well, I don't want to speak for the stuminator, but I'm sure it would be okay, although it sounds like the venue is going to be a bit small. What do you say, stu? I'm sure I am going to do a lot of watching as well. I like to study people's skillz and see if I can accomplish the same thing. Usually ends in disappointment!

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Sun Jul 15, 2007 8:45 pm

I've talked to Aleanil a bit already, six is probably the absolute maximum that can fit at his place... I will ask him today

stuminator · Post by **stuminator** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:08 pm

I think we can do six people but not more. I'll probably move some furniture out of the main room to get a little more space for everyone. I really want to get a townhome, this would hopefully be a lot more space for the next meet.

szycag · Post by **szycag** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 7:38 am

I think aleanil is pretty much confirmed now. And he's bringing an R-Type pcb?

Everybody bring money for pizza, I think we're getting some Godfather's for lunch.

Remember if you need help finding out how to get here, ask stuminator... there's some construction around here so double check with him if the roads are open.
