Northern Cali - Bay Area Members, MID Summer Gathering

[SNKJorge]

So we had a big get together when the LA stars came, now why don't we
make one for mid Summer. Let's make one for late July- early August, so that everyone
has plenty of time to plan, and see if they can definately attend?

Discuss.

[BIG]

Would love to go up there for yet another fun-filled ass kicking!!

I might have to fly up there this time,though.

[SNKJorge]

Yeah, that's the better option, driving for 8hrs it's probably quite tiring.
Flying up here from LA it's about 40mins, and cheap.

[dojosky]

also in aug there will be a classic gaming expo in san jose more info at www.cgexpo.com and also there will be california extreme show in san jose too forgot the website i think www.caextreme.org yup thats the correct link :) just thought I'd share the info with ya all and maybe can arrange some kind of gatherings etc sounds cool !!!

I'm planning on attending.

[Nash]

i can't do midsummer since i'll be out of the country. i also can't do august since i'll be moving to so cal for school. i guess that makes you lucky, too short, since you won't be embarassed in KoF. :p

[SNKJorge]

You're going to miss your KOF class then...

[Giby]

Yeah, that's the better option, driving for 8hrs it's probably quite tiring.

How much does it cost to fly from LA to NoCal? If its cheap enough I just might go.

[jindo]

I believe Southwest has $59 one way fair... :glee:

[BIG]

I believe Southwest has $59 one way fair... :glee:

Whoa! That's pretty cheap!

Tempting,indeed :D

[DXMachina]

I believe Southwest has $59 one way fair... :glee:



Yeah, that sounds about right.

I'd probably be able to make it.

[Giby]

That is pretty damn cheap, problem is that I'd only be able to make it one way :( I'll see what happens with the $ until then.

[jindo]

So... any updates on this gathering? :eek_2:

[SEGA_X]

I can probably attend this Summer due to the fact it would be a 3 hr drive from where I live.

[DXMachina]

I'm going to be in Sunnyvale for a week either soon, or later this summer so if anyone wants to hang out at Golfland, let me know.

[jindo]

I nominate gemen's place for the official gathering. :glee: :eek_2:

[FOMOCO&CO]

count me in I'll be at those shows...O and gemen's house :buttrock:

[BIG]

Tentative/official date of the gathering,by any chance?

[SNKJorge]

I'm thinking late July, early August, so that we can all have time for it, and make
sure we attend, specially myself.

[Nash]

hmm, late july is a possibility since that's when i get back from my trip. maybe you'll get that ass-whooping after all, too short. :D

[jindo]

Whoa??!! Nash another "World Warrior Trip?" :eek_2:

[300wins]

If gemen can't do his place, I can always hold it at my place.
Maybe we should ask gemen if his place is okay or not. :make_fac:

[SNKJorge]

Can we vote to see what KOF we'll be playing?

I need to train before giving you all teh 0WN4G3.

I'm open to any of them, just let me know which.

[DXMachina]

I'd say either 96, 98, 2k, or 2k1

[SNKJorge]

I'd say either 96, 98, 2k, or 2k1

Only one or two.
I think these guys will prefer KOF'02 & KOF'03, from what I can tell.
KOF'01 & KOF'95 they don't have a chance.

[DXMachina]

Only one or two.

KOF'01 & KOF'95 they don't have a chance.


Sounds fine to me.

Although it would be nice to play a little 96. :buttrock:

[jindo]

I vote for KOF 02. :eek_2:

[SNKJorge]

So:

KOF'02 = 2 votes

[DXMachina]

Add another vote for KOF 02

[FOMOCO&CO]

hmmm I'll have to buy an 02...craip...

but I'm game for 01 or <

[SNKJorge]

hmmm I'll have to buy an 02...craip...

but I'm game for 01 or <

KOF'02 = 2 Votes
KOF'01 = 1 Vote

[jindo]

As long as it's after 7/16 I'm in. :cool:

[Amano Jacu]

Any chance somebody can buy me a plane ticket? :D

[300wins]

Since we don't have a real date for this, how about I suggest one... My vote goes for July 17th, which is a Saturday. Since gemen has been away quite a bit due to his work, we could use my place. I have three 25 inch RGB monitors, so we could have any combination of MVS/AES/supergun/game consoles.

As for games, some of us could bring any they want to play. I have all the KOF minus too_short's favorite, 2001. But I am sure he could bring it.

So what does everyone say? July 17th?

[SNKJorge]

The 31st?

[300wins]

The 31st works for me too.

So far, the votes are below. So vote you punks! :smirk:

July 17 = 1 {300wins}
July 31 = 3 {xtoo_short20x, D-Lite, jindo}

[Dean]

31st.....
By then I seriously hope to have your system done Roger!

[300wins]

Whenever you can get it done Dean. It's not like I have too many games to play on it anyway. :loco:

Date vote updated.

[jindo]

31st sounds good to me. I'll also bring my AES with KOF 02 just in case if we need extra set up for the competition. :eek_2:

[kyosuke75]

I might be able to go up there around that time. I can probably leave work early as we are pretty laid back at my new job.

So end of July? I would like to check out that Classic Gaming Expo whenever that is...

BIG: I can drive up there again like last time...wasn't too bad. But if plane tickets are cheap, that could be another option.

Amano Jacu: I was thinking of going to Vancouver. HOw is it around September as I want to go somewhere and someone mentioned Vancouver as I have never been to Canada before in my life.

Kyosuke75

[Amano Jacu]

Kyosuke75

Well, I can't tell because I've only been here for a month and I will be back to Barcelona in another month, I'm just a guest student for the summer. So far it's been quite great, there's been some cold and rainy days but it is quite sunny and warm now. The city is great, with a lot of natural parks to visit. I've also found a couple of nice arcades.

[mookystains]

Im moving to San Fran August 29th for school....so if it where after that, id go.

Kyosuke75

Sounds like a plan to me.

Either way,I hope you're not all tied up at work by then......:eek:

BTW,what's the definite date for this,guys?

July 31st sounds good to me,as I'd like to attend CGE while I'm up there.

[DXMachina]

How many TV's will be available?

I can bring my AES if there are extra TV's.

[300wins]

BIG - It seems as of now, July 31st is best.

DXChina - I have three monitors. We will have at least 2 MVS setup and 1 AES if it's at my house. If it's at gemen's house, he has 2 cabinets and 1 TV. If it's elsewhere, I have no clue.

We just need to decide where it's gonna be at as of now, since the date seems to be set.

[BIG]

BIG - It seems as of now, July 31st is best.

Perfect0.

Everything seems to be falling into place :)

It's all up to Kyosuke75 now...

How 'bout it,Dave?

[Dean]

Change my vote to not July 31st or the following weekend. Just found out I have a wedding to attend

[FOMOCO&CO]

Did we even decide on the final location.
But diffinatly going to that show...
:)

[Curt]

Im moving to San Fran August 29th for school....so if it where after that, id go.

Where are you going to School

UCSF, SFstate, City College, Berkeley Perhaps??

I go to SF State.

[SNKJorge]

Where are you going to School

UCSF, SFstate, City College, Berkeley Perhaps??

I go to SF State.

I think he's shooting for the Academy of Art College.

[BIG]

Jorge,any idea of when and where this might go down?

[FOMOCO&CO]

When & where peoples? :eye: :eye:

Are we all gonna meet at that show or...
someones house? :D

[SNKJorge]

Jorge,any idea of when and where this might go down?

The 31st is the best date.
I am all for it.

[jindo]

Jorge,any idea of when and where this might go down?

Most likely at 300wins place. :eek_2:

[FOMOCO&CO]

Happy 4 th Everyone, I'm at work...secretly drinkin'!!

Anyway..

31st sounds good, what town does 300mins live in?

What time will we meet?
Whos bringing what?(games)(food) :mr_t:

[jindo]

His place is in Hayward so not too far from eastbay. I was thinking of bringing my GC if you're up for some SCII action. :eek_2: Food wise don't exactly sure.... probably eat out some where.. :glee:

[BIG]

Sounds good,guys :)

Now,I just gotta wait and see if Kyosuke75 can pull through....

[300wins]

As of now, it looks like the date is set for July 31st at my place.
I live in the east bay (Hayward to be exact).

As for what to bring... Bring any controllers you wanna use. I don't own any old style AES controller, so if you wanna use that, you have to bring your own.

I will supply the drinks and snacks. If we are eating, maybe we can order some pizzas or go out. We can decide on that when everyone is here.

If you need directions to my place, I can give you my address and you can use mapquest or something. Just PM me.

If the BIGPsyche and kyosuke75, they are staying at my place, so everyone needs to come and meet them. So here's your chance to get an autograph from Mr. Big (BIGPsyche) and the man who blew the cover on Aaron Lewis.

People can show up as early as 9:30am if they want. But my guess would be that people will slug to my place at around 11am or so.

[Gamefan]

I am interested in attending. 300, PM me your address so I can find your place.

GAMEFAN

[SNKJorge]

It's very close to you. You should be able to attend. :glee: :smirk:

[Gamefan]

Yep, are you going to be there Jorge?


Fred

[FOMOCO&CO]

About what time (hour) are we doing this?

[Dean]

Turns out I'll probably be out of town on the 31st now. And the following weekend. Not definite yet though.

[300wins]

Dang, does this mean I won't get my TurboDuo then. ;)
Hopefully you can make it Dean.

[SNKJorge]

Turns out I'll probably be out of town on the 31st now. And the following weekend. Not definite yet though.

:shame:

[jindo]

I know I'm gonna be at his place early to get that VIP parking space. :eek_2:

[bulletnyourass]

It's very close to you. You should be able to attend. :glee: :smirk:

It looks like my wife will be going out of town that weekend. I'll know definitely by the beginning of next week. If so, I'll make the drive up there and hang out.

Phillip

[DXMachina]

So what games are we going to play? It's looking like people want to play KOF 02, but what else?

[300wins]

There will be plenty of games to play, so don't worry about that.
Most of the time will probably be spent playing KOF though.

[SNKJorge]

Hey 300, I was just talking to big, and he said he and kyosuke are coming
for sure for CGE. Why not make it mid Aug instead? so that we can all meet up?

[jindo]

Curses!!! It always turns out like this...... :mad:

300wins - I guess it's going to be either PoT or SD marathon for the 31st. :eek_2:

[gemen]

I may be out off town on July 31 weekend. Any chances we can meet on July 24th weekend?

[Neo Maikeru]

I'm down. This time I will actually be able to make it... ;)

[300wins]

Okay, this seems to be the situation...

Classic Gaming Expo is on August 21-22 in San Jose. BIGPyche and kyosuke75 are coming for that.

Most people seem to be able to come to the July 31st gathering, minus a few.

So, this is what I propose...
We have the July 31st gathering at my place, even if some of the people can't make it. Then we have ANOTHER gathering at my place on August 21st AFTER 6pm. Why 6pm? Because Classic Gaming Expo doesn't end until then. If people actually want to meet up AT CGE, we could do that too. At the moment, myself, BIGPsyche, kyosuke75, and jindo are going to attend CGE. This second date might allow the people who couldn't make it on July 31st to at least be able to meet BIGPyche and kyosuke75.

So let me know what everyone thinks about my proposal.

[jindo]

I should know by tomorrow if I can take those days off. :envy:

SOunds good :)

300Wins,I've already spoken to Jorge a couple of days ago regarding this issue,and he said he'd definitely be down to meet up with the rest of us for CGE.

How about it,guys?

I will still attend the 31st meeting. I will also try to make it to CGE.

GAMEFAN

[gemen]

I will find out if I can make 31th meetup in next couple days. I won't be in Bay area in late Aug. Too bad...

[Gamefan]

Now I am not so sure I can make it. I have a dentist appointment that day and they need to do a deep clean. Will have to see how long it takes. How late will the meet be? Can I get there say around 3:00 and still play?

My guess is that most of us will still be around at that time. So swing by if you get the chance.

Will do!

[jindo]

It's been confirmed and I will be attending both 31st gathering and CGE next month. :D

[BIG]

W000t!

Can't make it for the 31st,but I will see you at CGE ;)

[jindo]

Hey Chai, yup I'm definitely looking forward to hang out with the LA legends at CGE. :eek_2:

[FOMOCO&CO]

were you all planning to do the 2 day thing at the cge?
or just sat or sunday?

I'm gonna have to call out of work for the 31st though **^cough, cough ;) ^*


WHats the best time for the 31st?
It'll take most of us atl elast an hour to get there...

all day thing?

Since this hasn't been brought up in a while, I'd figured I'd say something. After all, I am the one hosting it. :tickled:

People can come anytime they want. My guess is people would slug on by around 11-12. Just note that my place doesn't exactly have the best of parking space, so come early for good spots. I'd figured it'd be an all day event. At the moment, we can run 3 different things at once. And if we really want to get ghetto, I also have a 12 inch Commodore monitor if more people want to play stuff.

For those who don't know my address, PM me. The event is coming up in a week or so.

[gemen]

I will be in for 31th gathering.

[FOMOCO&CO]

I'll probably slug in around 11 on the 31st give or take a few...
and the first day at cge

[jindo]

I will be in for 31th gathering.

Beware of gemen's mad KOF 98 skillz..... :eek:

[BIG]

Who's all going to CGE?

Let's get a show of hands.

[gemen]

Cannot wait for it :multi_co:
Jindo = KOF03 killer :)

[jindo]

Only few days until the gathering.... practice....practice....practice.... :eek_2:

[SNKJorge]

So what KOF'03 & '02?

I'm getting scared here :( :crying: :glee:

[300wins]

I just wanted to remind everyone that the gathering is this weekend at my place. If you don't know how to get to my place, it would be best to PM me as soon as possible. My guess is that we will be playing KOF most of the time. But we could also play other stuff too. And none of this svideo crap. Everything will be played in the goodness that is RGB. :make_fac:

Free Grey Goose vodka shots to anyone who can beat gemen in Magical Drop 3. :emb:

[Gamefan]

I will try to attend. On a side note, SOMEONE BUY MY CAB!


GAMEFAN

[gemen]

I haven't played 03 since the last gathering.... so go easy on me gemen. :eek_2:

[gemen]

98,02 will be enough.

[Nash]

i'll be the guy in the corner playing the burned saturn games. :D

[gemen]

i'll be the guy in the corner playing the burned saturn games. :D

Will you come Nash? Sweet, I thought you are out of the country.

[Nash]

Will you come Nash? Sweet, I thought you are out of the country.

i was out of the country but now i'm back home. yeah, i'll most likely be at roger's place this saturday.

[DXMachina]

Tooshort: Anyway I could get a ride down there?

There's a chance I can't even make it, or I can get my own ride, but would it be possible?

[300wins]

I just want to remind people that the gathering is TOMORROW!
So, for those of you who still don't have my address, PM me and I will give it you.

[jindo]

Damn, I'll be home from work probably around 10am on Saturday. :mad:

[Dean]

D-Lite won't come, no threat :shame: .

I will be there early and play 03 with Jindo...

You got lucky. I've been working on my mad skilz too.
Magical Drop 3 Fool ==> :multi_co:

Also, on a side note, Roger, I'm nearly done with your modded Duo. I had to make a different video board to fit the extra resistors and caps for the RGB out. The system plays great by the way, no issues I can find.

When's the next NorCal gathering gonna be? I'll probably be making the CGE show too, so see you kids there....

That sounds great about the Duo Dean. Maybe you can have it done by CGE time and I can also pay you for those PCE games I asked to be placed on hold for me.

As for the next norcal meeting, it will probably be around CGE time. So far; me, jindo, BIGPSYCHE, kyosuke75, xtoo_short20x, and gamefan plan to go. There are still more people who plan to go, but these are some of the names I know off the top of my head.

[FOMOCO&CO]

I can't make it I'm dealing with these fools from work... :blow_top: :blow_top:

[DXMachina]

Bah, sorry I couldn't make it you guys.

I have too much shit to do, and I have no way of getting there.

Have fun.

[Nash]

i'm sorry i couldn't make it as well. i was really planning on going but i couldn't finish my loans application for law school in time. :(

[BIG]

See you all in about two and a half weeks..;)

BIG-

[gemen]

300wins, it's a really nice day today, how many matches did we play today? 300?
Jindo, we should play more next time.

[FOMOCO&CO]

SO how many made it out on sat?


Any way I didn't so I will plan on attending the CGE on the 21st/22nd.. :D :multi_co: :buttrock:

possible the California Etreeme on this 7th and 8th?( (Is anyone planning on going to this one? :spock: ))

[dojosky]

I will be going to CGE !!!!

[jindo]

Saturday gathering was decent as usual. Had a really good time playing KOF for hours.... even though it was only 3 people 300wins, gemen, and myself. :buttrock:

gemen - definitely we should play more next time. Looking forward to try my new team in 98. Ralf, Clark, Heidern (classic 94 Ikari team) :D

300wins - thanks for inviting us and your Takuma and Shermie combos kick @$$!!. :eek:

I'll be looking forward on the CGE gathering next month. :tickled:

[300wins]

Not too many people showed up on Saturday. :(
Just gemen and jindo. But we had lots of fun regardless.

gemen - we played a ton of KOF. It's too bad you will be in China during CGE time.
Let me know when you get back so I can check out your new place. That just means you no longer live 5 minutes away from my chemical company though. :(

jindo - you're always welcome over to my place. Just remember that eventually you if you come over enough, you're no longer considered a guest and will be getting me stuff out of my own fridge like Art does. :tickled:

Hopefully more people will actually show up and not flake for CGE.

On a side note, I took a picture of jindo and gemen playing KOF 2003 while at my place. For anyone interested, the picture is here: http://www.arcade4home.com/jindo/jindovsgemen.jpg

[jindo]

jindo - you're always welcome over to my place. Just remember that eventually you if you come over enough, you're no longer considered a guest and will be getting me stuff out of my own fridge like Art does. :tickled:

300wins, mostly I will be back after labor day, I let you know bud. I need more time to figure out how to deal with your takuma and Shermie too.

[datalogik]

Bump, to keep this alive :D

[FOMOCO&CO]

WHens the NEXT meet
