[Shuurin]

I'd like to attend. Just need to make plans with a few other SoCal crew and road trip up there somehow lol.

[Dave_K.]

Haha! That would be awesome, you guys are definitely welcome to attend if possible!

[AKRATEN]

oh man that would be awesome!

[Kiselgof]

Sweet! I pop on the forums for the first time in weeks just in time This would definitely hit the spot. I've been meaning to meet up with Antron for a while too and have just been crazy busy at work.

[brentsg]

crazy busy at work.

[antron]

12/5 works for me. going to be one hell of a weekend. 2 parties, an Xmas brunch and now a dave shmupmeet. Tis the Season!

[BER]

All right, I'm in! 12/5 sounds good for now. My friend John would like to attend, too.

[louisg]

Sounds good .. I'm down

[louisg]

btw in addition to shmups, I can bring some stuff (including spare monitor) if anyone is down for either retro gaming (Atari 2600, Commodore 64), or arcade gun games on Wii (GunBlade collection and Ghost Squad).. let me know!

I can also bring Genesis games if we're going to have that awesome cab hookup again... I've got lots of carts (but few imports) so I'm taking requests.

[mdl]

I should be able to make it along with my friends again. I'll bring the X68000, and if I'm feeling particularly crazy, I might bring one of the 37" monitors instead of a 14" one. Not sure yet if I want to haul 210 pounds of CRT around. :)

I also have a Darius Gaiden PCB now too, so I'll definitely bring that.

Awesome; I love Darius Gaiden. Could you load up the X68k with cool arcade ports like Thunder Blade and Super Hang-On? I guess I'll bring my C64 and a load of tapes... people can check out Denaris/Katakis, a game that Irem sued to stop because it was too similar to R-Type.

[Dave_K.]

Great interest so far, so I'm locking down the date of 12/5!

Feel free to bring whatever games you like. Sounds like this is shaping up to be a hardware showdown!

[Aru-san]

I'm down. gs68'll probably give me a ride to wherever the shmupmeet's taking place, too.

WILL THERE BE SHMUPS SKILL TEST?

[Dave_K.]

Yes, shmups skill test (Naomi version) is in the house! Although I'll need to find a 2 player cabinet to put it in if you want versus play.

[gs68]

DFK? An X68K? I am so down. I'll bring my Seimitsu LS-32-01-modded 360 FSTE.

[Kiselgof]

Ironish will make the trip with me as usual. We'll try to get Zach to come out as well if he's feeling well. I'll let Matt (SublimeForever) know about this thread as well since he might want to reprise the SpyHunter duel with Louis!

[ForeverSublime]

I'd be grateful to attend if I may. Thanks for opening up your space and creating the event, Dave.

(I'll check my schedule - mark me tentative for now)

X68k? MDL: Do you by chance have X68k Strider? I've seen it in its packaging, but never fired up in the machine.

[Dave_K.]

Game on!

[Alec]

Yo Dave! Mikhail just sent me a text about this yesterday. Your shmup meets are the greatest and I have an open schedule on the 5th. I'd love to come on out and party with the crew!

[AKRATEN]

I like what I see!

[GaijinPunch]

You know, I've been in town twice since our last one and have simply not escaped from the office. Total work overload. Won't be around for this one unfortunately. Maybe one early next year!

Bastard! Let me know if you'll be around when MMP/PS gets released for 360 in Feb.

[IlMrm]

I will be there, and my friend Sammy would like to attend also. Thanks for hosting again Dave.

[Dave_K.]

Glad you can make it IlMrm! This is quickly turning into an epic sized meet.

Just a reminder, since I think the last meet I had was at night, the times for this will be the regular 10am -5pm time.

[caincan]

[Aru-san]

Also, dayum, 20 attendees + Dave K. is a lot! Someone should host a live stream or something!

[louisg]

Man, my C64 bit the dust I can bring a tapedrive and games if anyone else has a working '64

[Dave_K.]

I just PM'd details to everyone on the list. Let me know if I forgot anyone. See you all Sunday!
