Las Vegas NEO fan get-together? Who's available on 8/31?

Dash no Chris · Aug 19, 2003

Hey, all! The idea was discussed a little bit last month, and I'm wondering who might be free to meet up at Gameland arcade (Meadows Lane) for their next lock-in (Sunday, 8/31/03 -- $10 cover, all games on free-play). I know not all of us have transportation, so I'd be willing to volunteer my vehicle for carpooling purposes (I can seat 6 people [legally wink ]). Please post a reply here indicating whether you'd be free on 8/31, and which days of the week you're most likely to be available for stuff like this (it'd be nice if the majority of us could get together on at least a monthly basis).

So far, this is the list of Las Vegas members I've compiled. If anyone knows of other local members, please post the info here:

#7323 AnechoicJinx
#7689 bioh@zarD
#3443 Dash no Chris
#4953 Decepticreep
#4094 Dinodoedoe
#5241 Domino-chan
#7350 Ein_boser_Schotte
#0980 Fygee
#7380 Godzilla128
#0745 Honeychan
#5808 Mai-bukkake
#2037 Marco's Arms Dealer

If you're willing to be my ride to and from the arcade, then I'm in. However I won't be able to join in until after 3:30 pm. That's when my shift at work usually ends.

I'll let you know if there's a change in schedule or if something can't be done.

Not a problem -- just PM me with the pickup location, and we'll work out the timing.

Decepticreep · Aug 19, 2003

yeah. that is the sunday before labor day, i will be able to go but dinodoedoe will not be able to. is is working that day. i might be able to pick up one or two people, if anyone is willing to be in a car with no a/c, ( and is kinda small ) on another note, i had to work at the Rio today, and they have a small, but cool arcade. they have the megaman fighter game, a dedicated metal slug 3, and a dedicated kof 2k. a pleasent surprise.

Fygee · Aug 20, 2003

With any luck I'll be able to have a ride to go down there, so we'll see.

Any chance in hell they'll have SvC by then?

Domino-chan · Aug 20, 2003

I just remembered something!

I have cigar store inventory on the 31st, and I have to be in on 7am that day. That means I can join you anytime after 1:30pm. It's not much but it gives me some extra time to spend with you guys.

I'd love to meet all you guys, especially Honechan if she's able to make it. And Fygee, you owe me a KoF 2002 rematch!

Cool! I got a PM response from Godzilla128 yesterday -- he was planning to attend anyway along with a few friends (including an n-g.com board member named "Mad" -- I'm assuming this means Marco's Arms Dealer).

Fygee:

If your ride falls through, Fygee, just PM me to arrange a pick-up. On the subject of SVC, Dinodoedoe had talked to Mickey (Gameland's owner) around the end of July, and he said that Gameland will be getting SVC, but only when the price drops to $600. I don't think anyone has it that cheap just yet (do they?), so we'll probably have to wait a little while longer. Of course, if we can get a regular turnout of NEO fans at Gameland, maybe he'll consider buying it earlier...

Hey whats up Chris!

I'd join ya'll but I'm kinda in Jersey... annoyed

Marco's Arms Dealer · Aug 20, 2003

me and Godzilla are going. I hope they put in Initial D there...I can really use the free play. loco

Dinodoedoe · Aug 21, 2003

I probably won't be able to make it since I will be on call then and the arcade is too damn loud for me to hear my phone! I hope gameland gets the new Initial D cab installed (since there first one got water damaged and had to be sent back). If everyone in Vegas played Gameland's MVS' then I am sure they would get Snk vs. Capcom: Choas, if they know that they could recoupe there cost. Hope to see everyone on the 8/31 or some other get together in the near future. Hope everyone that goes will have a kick ass time! buttrock

no but I jam on the gas pedal all the way to make my leg spasm out, I seriously need to make a new car with manual with those turns they are sick with an auto.

Honeychan · Aug 22, 2003

Hey all!!!

I'm still not 100% sure of I can make it this Sunday. While it sounds like fun, I do have plans at 5pm till about 7pm, so I probably won't be able to...

BUT! I could get the itchings to get on over there later! When is the lock-in till??? Midnite????

Actually, I -could- get there really early, too, say about 1pm..

When do people plan on going?

BTW, they have any new games over there???

A Mega Man fighting game.!! eek! Tell us more about it. I didn't even know about such a game existing.

It should be either this game (<a href="http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=R&game_id=9355" target="_blank">link1A</a> <a href="http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?game_id=8659&letter=M" target="_blank">link1B</a>) or this game (<a href="http://www.klov.com/game_detail.php?letter=R&game_id=9354" target="_blank">link2</a>).

Howdy, Ron! Yeah... I won't be picking you up then.

Not this Sunday, but a week from this Sunday, 8/31. The lock-in does go til midnight, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure how early it starts. I think I'll call over there later today to find out, and check on any new game arrivals while I'm at it.

I'm pretty much free all day. At this point, my carpooling duties will start just after 1:30pm. Depending on how many people end up needing a lift and how far apart they live, I'm guessing we'd arrive 2:30ish? How about the rest of you? How early can y'all be there?

Domino-chan · Aug 22, 2003

Is it okay for me to bring a friend from work? He's one of my converted SNK fans (He used to be all Capcom until I poisoned him with King of Fighters buttrock ) and plays some mean Guilty Gear.

If he's able to make it I'll see if I can hitch a ride with him rather than having Chris carpool me... we'll see. I know I'm in for throwing down!

Dash no Chris · Aug 24, 2003

Just got confirmation that BakuretsuMutekiSid is here in Las Vegas, so I wanted to bump the thread by adding his name to the list of locals. If any of you know of a local NEO fan who's not on the list, please reply and add his/her name:

#7323 AnechoicJinx
#0251 BakuretsuMutekiSid
#7689 bioh@zarD
#3443 Dash no Chris
#4953 Decepticreep
#4094 Dinodoedoe
#5241 Domino-chan
#7350 Ein_boser_Schotte
#0980 Fygee
#7380 Godzilla128
#0745 Honeychan
#5808 Mai-bukkake
#2037 Marco's Arms Dealer

So far, our headcount for a get-together at Gameland's 8/31 lock-in looks like this:

Dash no Chris
Decepticreep
Domino-chan (maybe w/an SNK-convert co-worker)
Fygee
Godzilla128 (along w/a few friends)
Marco's Arms Dealer

Honeychan, are you going to be able to make it? Hey, Decepticreep and Dinodoedoe -- will Mai-bukkake be there? (btw, remind him to check his PM box, k?) AnechoicJinx? bioh@zarD?

--Chris

Marco's Arms Dealer · Aug 24, 2003

Someone bring a camera...so we can post the Las Vegas Neo Crew on the boards...unless were too weird and missing parts of our bodies.

Dash no Chris · Aug 24, 2003

Well, I finally remembered to call Gameland again, like I said I would 2 days ago.

Bad news: according the employee I spoke with, "for the time being, the 8/31 lock-in is cancelled." He said the next lock-in wouldn't happen until the last Sunday in September (9/28). As far as starting times go, "that's up in the air right now."

He said that they were going with noon-midnight for the lock-ins during summer vacation, but now that school is back in session, they're rethinking that (it seems to me that the ending time should have alot more to do with the new school year than the starting time...).

It appears that the only new arrival since Matrimelee is Initial D. However, I was told that this game would not be put on free-play during lock-ins because "it belongs to someone else."

I'm still planning to go. How do the rest of you feel? Still in? Perhaps, instead of staying til midnight, we could wrap things up at Gameland a little early and we could all get dinner together?

Good idea, MAD.

Domino-chan · Aug 24, 2003

Hey I'm still in... and knowing me or Fygee we'd be pulling for a big sushi dinner afterwards.

I promised him I'd take him to Makino one day. wink

But whatever you decide on is okay by me.

the binary c0de · Aug 24, 2003

Ya know Im up here in Portland and am tempted to try to get in on one of these shindigs. So close yet so far away... oh_no

Cool. I like sushi, although I'm less adventurous than some of my friends when it comes to some of the more unusual types. Haven't been to Makino yet, though the TV commercials sure make it look good. Any idea what their operating hours are on Sunday? And what'll it usually cost per person to eat there (just wondering, since some of us might be on a budget)?

I think it'd be great if we could work things out so some of the out-of-town members could make it to a Las Vegas get-together. I'd love to see some of the LV members put together a road-trip to "crash" one of the SoCal get-togethers, too.

Hopefully something like that may not be far off.

AnechoicJinx · Aug 24, 2003

Hey all...I just got back from chicago. Been very busy lately...I'm down with the lock-in, turns out I'm not working Sundays anymore. At least not for now. I dunno about the end of September, if it is indeed postponed. I could provide a ride to anyone who needs one unless you're totally out in the boonies. Keep me posted. Thanx

Decepticreep · Aug 25, 2003

yeah, im still down with it. i can make 20 bucks last a long time. anyways i am down with sushi, but i never been to makino's. do they have an all you can eat? because personally i like going to sushi on rainbow. its on rainbow and spring mt. it's like 23 buck for all you can eat. its the shit. anyways, the megaman fighter i was talking aboot, i dont remeber the name but its the same game thats on the neo-geo pocket.

Decepticreep · Aug 25, 2003

Dash no Chris:

--Chris

mai-bukkake is an idjet. he disses me and my bro quite often, so i think he just might brush off the ng.com crew. i might bring my boy geoff though. you met him, remeber?
