NJ Classic XXVII [UPDATED: Picture Gallery!]

**digitalpress** · 10-08-2003, 06:44 PM

EDIT 10/26: It's come and gone! If you're just looking for the link to the pictures, here it is: http://www.digitpress.com/images/njclassic27/

27 sounds about right, doesn't it? Numbers confuse me. Especially when they have x's and o's in them.

You know, it's really been a LONG TIME. The last official gathering was on March 1st, though there have been a few smaller group gatherings since then. The more the merrier this time, and I fully expect EVERYONE to be here. NO excuses. NO "I'm getting married that day". NO "I have no transportation". NO "I only have 2 weeks to live and won't be alive then". Ya hear me?

This one's for all the marbles. Gaming up the ying yang and lots of trading. There may or may not be exotic dancers too. So you better just show up.

If you've been to an NJ Classic in the past, you know what it's about. Grueling 4-player competition, intense trade sessions, and spilling beer on my game consoles. You've got at least three game stations active at any time, thousands of games to choose from, and the company of others who are similarly deranged or are just really into video games - it's not up to me to judge who is which.

You're probably wondering "when is this incredible event?"

Well cool down, chum. I'm gettin' to it.

It's SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25th, from 3pm until "whenever".
It's at Digital Press HQ (directions attached)
It's FREE!
Bring your "trade bait" or bring stuff to show off.
Most importantly, bring YOURSELF.

Please RSVP by Friday, October 17th. See you then!

I've been waiting for another get together since I was unable to come to the last one. I'm definitely gonna come this time...that is if I don't get lost with my horrible navigational skills.

**Sniderman** · 10-09-2003, 05:13 AM

Dammit. It's being held the day after I get home from surgery. I think I have a valid excuse, but it's *yet another* DP gathering I'm gonna miss for one damn reason or another.

I suck.

DAMN Mother &%($()*()%*%()& Ugh! Everytime I want to go to NJ Classic (It's so close to me) I can never go.

This time I am flying to South Dakota to see the girlfriend. Oh well I guess it will be worth it.

**NoahsMyBro** · 10-09-2003, 07:56 AM

AAArrrgghhh!!!!! Damn Joe, when it comes to picking dates, you've really got a knack!

I'll be in St. Louis, MO, that day, in a penguin suit, attending my cousin's wedding.

In order to ensure everybody has the full experience though (wouldn't want the uninitiated to miss out on my Steve-ness just because I'm absent), I feel somebody should be appointed to carry out my duties - these involve arriving after 6pm, scrounging what's left from the crumbs, talking at length about something nobody cares about (for tips, study Cliff Claven on some borrowed Cheers DVDs), eating AT LEAST 5 pieces of Domino's Pizza, constantly return to the chip bowls, drinking only one or two beers amongst many Cokes, and playing Space Dungeon, Crazy Taxi, and Bump N' Jump. The designated NoahsMyBro-of-the-Night must also express a preference for cartridge based systems, insist that until the Dreamcast, the 5200 was the best videogame console ever, and receive a call from the wife around 9pm asking what time he will return home.

With those tips to make the night a richer and more complete experience, I'm sure everything will go just swimmingly.

Have fun guys, I wish I could be there,
Steve

You should have it Halloween weekend instead! Then we can make everyone dress up in costumes.

**chadtower** · 10-09-2003, 08:07 AM

That's the day after Keir's halloween party.

See if it was THAT weekend I could make it. And dress up too. I was gonna be DP.

**christianscott27** · 10-09-2003, 09:09 AM

well at least its not on Nov.2nd, dont want to have to fight over the conn. gamers. did i mention that we're giving away free beer to anyone who shows up in costume? someday we need to find a suitable host or location between NE and the NYC area and have a monster meet.

**Kid Ice** · 10-09-2003, 04:13 PM

Bring your TRADES, people! I've travelled light for the last few events as to avoid awkward trips up and down the basement stairs...this time I'm really bringing it; new trades, old junk no one took me up on before, controllers, consoles, carts, discs, books, boxes...and a nice stack of cash for those salesman types (*cough*Hardie*hiccup***)

**kainemaxwell** · 10-09-2003, 09:52 PM

May have a job by then and likely lack of transportation. *ducks to avoid mallets*

**wberdan** · 10-09-2003, 10:09 PM

if me and the POG-ster end up going, then i probably wont have too many great things to trade.... ive got a bunch of good colecovision games, and a whole bunch of misc. 2600 games....i might take a vectrex or two- and if we go ill definetely bring a little money...

i wouldnt be past trading/selling an adventurevision w/ games if the deal was right -

Ditto. That's a three-day weekend for me. I'm pulling two double shifts the weekend of the party

**NoahsMyBro** · 10-10-2003, 08:22 AM

-~~-> POG, Will -~~->
You guys make it down rarely; I'd be disappointed if you went and I missed you guys. So I'm kind-a glad you may miss it - that increases the chances you'll be there next time!

OTOH, it might be better that you DO go, as it seems Kaine might need a ride this time.

AND, funny thing, in my first reply here yesterday morning, I said:

Damn Joe, when it comes to picking dates, you've really got a knack!

Strangely enough, when I arrived home last night some show was on Comcast Channel 8 I'd never seen before. I think it was called Rock'N'Roll Funhouse, and of all things, The Knack was performing on stage. I watched it from about 7:15 until 8pm when it ended. It got me in the mood, so today I brought in My Sharona to jam to while working.

...and it's a teenage sadness everyone has got to taste...

(I really, really, need to remember not to do that!)

**GrandAmChandler** · 10-10-2003, 08:37 AM

So is this date set in stone?

The date is set - we've already got plans for Halloween weekend. This is the "NJ Classic" season though, we have these every other month between fall and spring so there's sure to be another one soon.

That's a guarenteed way to keep me from attending

Hope that you do, the last one you and Jamie came to was the best ever.
