Changed the title since we've actually planned the event, see Lemonflav's post way below for details and contact him if you need directions to join us.

Right outside of there. Like 35 minutes or so. Buffalo Grove IL...a hell of a place. Why may I ask? :-)

Later,

I may be in the neighborhood on those days. If possible I think it would be neat to get some Neo fans together for something (if not gaming, at the very least dinner/drink or something).

I forgot Lemonflav is also in the neighborhood. I'll have to PM him too.

Let's try an organize something.

Spike Spiegel · Mar 9, 2002

Right here baby! I'm in Rockford IL, which is about an hour or less (depending on how crazy you drive) away.

I'm an hour and a half away from Chicago. So I may be available! Don't know yet! I need more information!

UM.....not me!!.....

oh and check your email and PM!

I live 0 minutes away from Chicago! <img src="graemlins/eye.gif" border="0" alt="[Eye]" />

Okay, here's the deal:

Wednesday the 20th would probably be the best day (I'm not getting in until 9:30pm on the 19th anyway). I'll be free by about 3pm or so, so maybe we can all meet up some place that evening (I'm not leaving until the next morning, so it can be anytime). If not at someone's house/apartment, then someplace we can all grab a bite/kick back (maybe a place with an MVS unit?).

Anyone of you Chicago types have any suggestions for a place to kick back? (a good place would be somewhere where we can wait for stragglers without getting evicted/mugged/whatever)

I live in Nothwest, IN. But, it just so happens that I will be up in Chicago on the 20th at the Art museum around 3:00 p.m. Damn, what a coincidence.

NeoSneth · Mar 10, 2002

I am at UIUC champaign
that is about 2 hours
i'm always down for a night of drinks

Spike Spiegel · Mar 10, 2002

Bobak, where exactly in Chicago are we talking about? I would have no problem having everyone come to my place, but perhaps that's too far out of the way? Again, it's about 45 minutes out.

Well, I'm probably going to be staying either near Midway Airport or south near (or somewhere relatively safe near) UofChicago/Hyde Park (I've been told that's not the world's safest area).

Any suggestions for a nice area?

RabbitTroop · Mar 11, 2002

Spike has been to bombsquad I see... the Kitten.swf is a personal fav, that goes around the office atleast once or twice a week... They protect us,

I'm about 40 minutes away from Chicago, and if you like anime and manga related items there's an EXCELLENT Japanese shopping center in nearby Schaumburg called Mitsuwa Marketplace. They've got a great book store called Asahiya that has a ton of manga and strategy guides for video games. There's also a toy store that has all kinds of...well...toys, models and other neat stuff. They've got import PS2 stuff and some DC and GBA stuff, too.

Schaumburg also has lots of great places to eat that won't break your pocketbook, and there's a Gameworks there! They don't have a neo system, but they DO have Buriki One there (or they did last time I checked), which is a fun little game with a nearly unbeatable boss

!

Anyway, thems my suggestions, and I'm definitely up for meeting everyone that's hooking up if you're all cool with it too

Good choice!

djbomberman · Mar 12, 2002

I'm near Lemonflav and Schamburg is a good spot to go. I'll give Samurai X a heads-up and see if he wants to meet as well. Cool, we can have a Schamburg tourney......lol... <img src="graemlins/eek2.gif" border="0" alt="[Eek 2]" />

SNK4EVER · Mar 12, 2002

Damn, wish I could be in Schaumburg too on the 20th.

RiotoftheBlood · Mar 12, 2002

I may be able to go on Tuesday (19th) after my 5:00-6:30 class, which is in Hammond, not very far from Chicago at all.

lemonflav · Mar 19, 2002

Hey all,
I spoke with Bobak, and we thought it would be a great idea to meet at GAMEWORKS. For those that dont know where its located, it right next to the Woodfield Mall. If you plan on coming and you dont know exactly where it is please email me and I'll try to give directions based on where your coming from.

Lets plan on meeting on Wednesday at 8:30pm.

Hope to see you all there!
