Next proposed big Las Vegas NEO fan get-together

[Ancient Flounder]

Anything happening today? I should be getting off of work around 4, so Domino or Chris, give me a jingle since you guys have my number. I want to give my SF Anniversary arcade stick a bit of a workout, since I finally decided to stop being a bitch and actually use it, rather than have it collect dust and be neglected (that and I can save money by not buying a new one like I was planning on).

I'm up for stuff today. KumagaiToshiro indicated that Dom-chan is unavailable today, but that he might be willing to host a few of us at his place. He's working til 4pm and will call me just after 3.

What're you up to today?

Yeah, that's what I was reading in the "Vegas Scrubs Thread" at SRK.com (which is where I got this news) -- as I posted in that thread, I've had a hate-on for cyberpunx and the property landlord ever since they created the situation that led to Gameland's closure. That being the case, I was conflicted about supporting cyberpunx move to include arcade cabs when I read about it earlier today. Supposedly, they'll be adding more cabs in the coming weeks if response to these first several cabs is good. If Mickey's going to continue selling cabs to them, that might convince me to support cyberpunx if it translates into someone from Gameland making some money.

I was talking to Mickey and his girlfriend the other day. Looks like there is no chance at all fo him to re-open an aracde. He says it cost too much to operate and that no complex will lease to him. It wasnt just cyyberpunks that closed gameland, it was the fact that nobody played enough games to make money in the first place. People just lurked. It makes him more $$$ to just rent out his machines. He actually has to work at a normal job to pay the bills now.

that sucks.

I always knew it wasn't just Cyberpunx that closed GL down. Ah well

ANYWAY.

I have no car. Period. So I'm kinda screwed unless someone wants to pick me up.

Well, Chris is dining with his family right now, but he's going to get a hold of me after he's done with that. So, I'll hit him up about it when that point comes around.

awesome.

XD

 

[Ancient Flounder]

Alright, Chris just got a hold of me and he should be heading to your side of town to pick you up, Taiki.

 

[Decepticreep]

Hey Chris, I dont "get" your sig. As a matter of fact, I find it rather frightening.

We all do sir. We all do.

 

[Domino-chan]

Well folks, I wanted to give you a heads up on something:

I'll be indisposed for most likely the ENTIRE MONTH OF JUNE.

One of my co-workers is going on a leave of absence, so there's only 4 of us to cover the swing shifts. I'll be working 6 day weeks, and what's worse is that another co-worker is attempting to snatch two days off that I need so I can play tour guide for a friend of mine visiting from Houston.

Taiki, I'll still need a way to get GGXXSlash in my house so I can at least practice. Lemme know what time's best for you and we can work something out.

EDIT: If any of you Vegas folks know of someone who needs a job, let me know. We need two dispatchers and possibly another security guard. One will be a temporary swing shift and another's a 4-day (2 grave/2 day) week. Please help us out, as we could use more workers!!11

EDIT NUMERO DOS: @Dash no Chris, I convinced Heather to join your team with you and Toshiro for EVO2k6. Her chara of choice will be Zappa. I say we got 2 powerful teams on our hands.

 

[Decepticreep]

We all do sir. We all do.

Yeah, its like DEVO on a bad acid trip. The image is burned in my brain...

 

[Dash no Chris]

I'm going to be out of town this weekend, visiting my sister and my new nephew in Burbank -- we'll see whether he's got more hair than his uncle.

--Chris

 

[Ancient Flounder]

So, what's everyone's availibility this Sunday?

 

[Domino-chan]

The OT thing is actually not as bad as I thought... so I may actually get some time to myself in June. Shocking!

Unfortunately, I am still unsure about this Sunday, as one of the other dispatchers took it upon herself to snatch my usual weekend off. Of course it still hasn't been approved by management... so we'll see.

Hopefully your work isn't like mine, where people seem to screw the schedule up all the time.

I should be free Sunday. However, an additional UFS CCG (SF vs SCIII) tournament series got underway last Sunday at Dark Tower Comics. In addition to the usual 5:30/6pm tourneys that MJ's been running there on Monday nights, they've also got a tourney event on Sundays at 2pm (run by Trevor, if I remember his name correctly). I was interested in participating in both the Sunday and Monday events, but I'm not sure how late the Sunday event will run. I am looking forward to more Bon'nou Kaihou, tho'. How many folks are free Sunday?

--Chris

 

[Domino-chan]

I can't do Sunday. I'm pulling a 12 hour shift so I can get Monday night off. It's nice when someone who's hired to work my two days off calls in her first day of training because she feels "dizzy".

Monday will still be up in the air as I need an assload of rest after that shift, but I may pull a second wind.

 

[NeoTheranthrope]

I'm still working tonight, but if it's possible, I can meet up with you guys at Cyberpunx after 10pm.

Sounds good.

I'm going to be at Dark Tower Comics from 2pm til about 6 for a UFS CCG tourney. The phone # there is 795-2664.

@KumagaiToshiro: you can get a hold of me there, or call taitai's cel (since he may be there, too). Would it be possible for me and taitai to hang at your place again tonight?

@taitai: you going to Dark Tower today?

--Chris

As you already know, no. But that's because I had PC problems to fix at home. I'll drop bythouogh.

 

[Domino-chan]

Hey guys, we should put some time aside to practice for EVO. The dates are already set, and we have until August to brush up.

The work situation's still up in the air as we need to train one more person in dispatch, so if you know anyone who would like to work a grave shift or two, lemme know.

This Sunday is still probably a no go, but Monday night should be all right.

 

[The Legendary LoneWolf]

I agree. Monday I'll be at Dark Tower Comics for their 6pm-8pm weekly UFC CCG tournament event, but after that I'm free.

With that first link, are you referring to the Anime Vegas convention? Hoteiya Las Vegas plans to attend AV'06 as an exhibitor (Anime Expo, too), but we haven't decided whether we'll be going to Otakon'06.
