I'm going to recommend grabbing dinner at somewhere like Buffalo Wild Wings, and discuss V2 of the Hamakibako.

I'd be down for Buffalo Wild Wings.

I'm free today and Monday, but I won't be able to host anything at my place this week. Any of you lot who've bought UFS cards interested in meeting at Dark Tower early-to-mid-afternoon today? (I've been wanting to fine-tune the deck I've been playing at the Tuesday tournaments at Hosehead's Hobbies) and maybe happy hour at Jersey's after?

I'm working a closing shift tonight, so I'll completely miss Happy Hour at Jersey's. But, if you guys head over to Cyberpunx after that, I can meet you all over there. I'd love to host everyone for Monday, but my place is a mess right now. So, if anyone else likes Taiki's idea for Buffalo Wild Wings, we could go for that.

I've got no problems with BWW, as long as someone gives me a time and an address.

(BTW: I managed to get Beast downstairs today, and that was an ACCOMPLISHMENT. That fucker weighs a metric ton and a half and three quarters. Gotta go to Home De'Pot and Frys in the morning for miscellanious crap for Beast, and it should be running by noonish -- i'll show pics when it's done ^_^)

Jeebus, is there a restaurant chain with more inconvenient locations for me than BWW? If there is, I can't think of it. Man, their happy hour prices aren't even that great.... Do they even have a location that doesn't require the majority of us to buy a tank of gas to get there and back?:p

Some of us don't drive Yank Tanks that "drive real fast and gets really shitty gas mileage." :)

I may or may not be free tonight. I go in for training for my new job this afternoon and I don't know that time I'll get out.

If I'm free, I'm up for some Buffalo Wild Wings, Cyberpunks and talking about Hamaba-chan ver.2.

The one that's sorta near my house on E Craig, it's about block east from the Home Despot where I got my Compound Miter saw and about a 10minute drive for me.

Well, I get off work at 6, so give me a call around that time if some of us are getting together tonight.

I drive a _motorcycle_ and that would kill my tank of gas (and it's not a crotch rocket, either.)

I've just found out that I have to watch my minions this evening, and am going to have to bow out of the meetup this week. (Sorry!)

All BWW are located near a highway, most are near the 215 beltway. The area has to be within a certain $$$$ income for the owners to place a BWW in an area. Looks like your SOL Chris. You need to move to a better neighborhood or move closer towards the highway.

Yeah, but if you wanna get a non-corporate taco or a payday cash loan, you know whose house you need to be near.... :eek_2:

I'm gonna grab a quick shower and then call Toshiro at the end of his shift. What's the plan, then? BWW in BFE? or some place closer to Cyberpunx and Toshiro's apartment?

EDIT: Left voicemail and a numeric page for Toshiro; still waiting on his reply. As an alternative to BWW, there's always Wingstop -- 6 locations in the valley, with one right over here at Nellis & Stewart. For future Mondays, we could also consider The Crown and Anchor (on Tropicana, just east of Maryland Pkwy). Happy hour is M-F 3pm-6pm (and again after midnight), but Mondays they also have all-you-can-eat fish & chips.

So, clear your voicemail box the fuck out and answer the phone call you're getting from Toshiro.

Meanwhile, are you still free this evening? NeoT and I are really thinking that, if we all want to go to BWW, we'd really prefer to go to the one on Craig (it's much closer to his place and mine).

EWWWW!!

I saw an arcade cab at a slot machine place in the Desert Passage. My initial thought was the button layout and if it was feasible to gut it for an MVS system.

My dad looked at me funny while I was talking about it. :glee:

As soon as I can complete a motorcycle training course I can take my exam at the DMV. Then I'll have TRANSPORTATION OF MY VERY OWN!!!11

If you need a motoryclist to practice driving with, give me a holler. I've got more than a years worth of XP!

@Chris: I have three words for one of the last bosses you face in God Hand:

Groovy. Black. Guy.

On to other business, if you still wanted to go to the Crown & Anchor on Monday, I'm off and free the entire day. Ross wants to hang out again, too, so he'll probably be tagging along. Just got my own copy of KOF XI, so if we end up some place to play some games, I can bring that along.

Progress report: Assembly of the frame is 88% done. I just have some odds-and-ends left and then I'm ready for the joy of working with the MDF.



Also, I would like to discuss purchacing new tools for the project. My personal investment in the project is over $300 for just tools, so far. I've spent the last couple of weeks studying various wookworking techniques (like, various ways to make shadowboxes or mounting big lexan windows, for instance). Unfortunately, since I'm currently not drawing a paycheck, I don't have any way to get the cash to buy the gear to do a lot of that really cool stuff.

I've got a family thing at 7pm Monday night, so I won't be free for a proper gaming get-together. However, I mentioned (to my sister's boyfriend) the idea of happy hour (3-6pm) at Crown & Anchor w/all-you-can-eat fish&chips -- he's rather keen on it. We're picking him up at the airport shortly. I'll post an update as things get discussed tonight.

Hell, if all we do is grub on fish and chips, that'll be worth it. I'll probably give you a call sometime before noon to see what's goin' down. Only thing I need to do is pull some money out of the bank and head over to your side of town.

NeoT just pulled up. He's driving me, my sister, and her BF to Crown & Anchor (Tropicana, just east of Trop & Maryland Pkwy). Toshiro should already be there. Ross bowed out today. If anyone else wants to meet up w/us for happy hour (3-6) and all-you-can-eat fish & chips, that's where we'll be.

Hightower and I are going to Lone Star Steakhouse (just north of Nellis / Charleston) for all-you-can-eat ribs today. Happy hour is 3pm-7pm, so we'll be looking to arrive there at 3. If anyone's interested in meeting up w/us, ingesting cheaper-than-normal alcohol and copious amounts of dead livestock, and seeing the new wheels & tires I got on Saturday, that's where we'll be.

If only I could check the Web on the go...I could've had ribs tonight. ;_;
