[Cryomancer]

Totally there as long as nothing comes up to prevent me from being there.

[PapaStu]

So date consensus is Aug 16th? Oof. I can almost (99.85) 100% guarantee us as no.

[GrandAmChandler]

Erin and I will be there for a week or so, we are booking our tickets this weekend!

-GAC-

[dave2236]

CDE stands for Classic Drinking Expo, for those wondering.

[Matt-El]

Ok, I'll plan on going. The 17th's my birthday, so I plan on some game hunting or something too for myself.

[katchoo]

So date consensus is Aug 16th? Oof. I can almost (99.85) 100% guarantee us as no.

:( somehow the software releases at work always seem to happen on the same weekend as a major event with friends. hopefully we can make it next year.

[s1lence]

I'll try to make it Dave. Any word on my Cab yet bro?

[Kamino]

considering iamchris is going to be my damn ride to the event....add him. lol.

[dave2236]

I'll try to make it Dave. Any word on my Cab yet bro?


$600 for the cab and then I still need to find a box big enough and figure out how much shipping is.

[s1lence]

[GrandAmChandler]

He only accepts transactions in meseta.

[s1lence]

Dang it, where is my Meseta when I need it!!!

[Carey85]

Go ahead and add me to the list, I'll try and schedule my flight for friday in the early afternoon, and leave back out sunday, so whoever wants to come pick me up at the airport will be my hero.

[s1lence]

I will remember to bring a superball.

[Carey85]

That's fine, just don't give it to spoon...

[Perkar]

i am there. will most likely be driving. can't wait. also... edward 24 hands !?!? everyone pussed oout on me last year ("i had to play cards!").

[s1lence]

Edward 40 Hands is what I've played.

[Perkar]

yeah. we figured it'd take too long for 40 hands, so dumbed it down to 24 hands. and then no one but me did it. bah

[Kamino]

We so need to get some beer pong going this year. and possibly some beer bong, too.

[spoon]

yeah. we figured it'd take too long for 40 hands, so dumbed it down to 24 hands. and then no one but me did it. bah

You have the worst memory ever. Although I had to set my beer down to play cards, I finished my 24's well ahead of everyone else.

We all know I can drink you under the table any day of the week anyhow.

We can do it again this year if you like. Give you some incentive and do it for an Achievement.

[dave2236]

YEAH! achivement points for drinking. I'll set up a dry erase board and we can keep track for the weekend.

win 1 beer pong game 10 points
win 5 beer pong games 25 points

drink 5 different beers 5 points
drink 10 different beers 25 points

hit Mike with a stick 2 points
pass out pants-less 25 points

[Sothy]

[Atarian75]

Count me in.

So long as it registered on his XBL account, you KNOW he'd do it.

[Kamino]

Sothy; it's simple. the west coast fucking sucks. I'm so glad to be out of it.
i'm so wearing my cde2k6 shirt.
and playing beerpong.
spoon and perkar, i officially challenge the two of you.

[xaer0knight]

if i can find away up there (kamino?)

count me in.

[Kamino]

if i can find away up there (kamino?)

count me in.
we may be able to run a carpool up there, i'm currently working on all that jazz. I still have to find out from spoon/perkar/carey about when they are heading to green bay.

[Carey85]

Heh, my plans as of the moment are to fly to Green Bay on that friday and either catch a cab to Dave's house or have someone goodly enough to shuttle me to/from the airport. I have no idea where he lives in regards to the airport.

[Kamino]

unless he's moved, I think he's on the other friggin' side of town from the airport...but when you're talking about "the other side of town" in green bay, it just means taking 172 for aboot 5 or 8 miles, lol....

[dave2236]

Yes, Jake and I have our own house. It's about 10 minutes away from the airport. I can pick you up Carey, no problem. just let me know about when you will be arriving. or If you call me when your plane lands by time you get your luggage I can be there.

My house is only a few blocks from my old store.

Video Game Kingdom is now closed, we did not renew our contract with the mall and will now be selling stuff on our website at at other video game shows throughout the year.

Jake and I are going to be doing more with Arcade machines and arcade restoration and service work. We enjoy it much more and get paid more.

So lots of stuff for sale and tons of boxes of games at my house when everyone comes to visit. We just picked up 4 new arcade machines for our collection Satans Hollow, Gorf, Wizard of Wor, and Michael Jacksons Moonwalker.

hope to see everyone soon, looks to be shaping up to be a great party.

[Carey85]

Cool, that's good to know, Dave. Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to try to get a flight arriving mid-afternoon that friday and probably try to get out sunday evening.

[Kamino]

video game kingdom closed? End of an era...le sigh. well, i can say i had a LOT of good times there....

[Matt-El]

If you have no store front Dave, then are you planning on selling arcade cabinets also strictly from the website?

[GrandAmChandler]

One month away! Who's pumped?

[s1lence]

I can't make it. Most likely my daughter is getting baptised that weekend.

I still want that Mini-cab btw.

[Carey85]

We can perform a proper baptismal with a can of Blatz...

Also, I bought my airfare to and from CDE last night. My plane arrives in Green Bay that friday at about 4PM, and I leave back out that monday at 4:30PM. All indicators point to a weekend full of win...

[PapaStu]

All indicators point to a weekend full of win... with superballs pelting me in my eyes

fixed.

[Qixmaster]

goddamn i gotta make it to one of these. will have to count on next year unless i win powerball in the next couple weeks, otherwise, have a good CDE.

[DigitalSpace]

Yep. We're moving up!

[Atarian75]

well, now it looks like I won't be able to make it again. sorry.

[Carey85]

A little over 3 weeks to go, time to start separating the men from the boys. Who's still in?

[GrandAmChandler]

A little over 3 weeks to go, time to start separating the men from the boys. Who's still in?

Shit, I have plane tickets, I better still be in!

Guys vs. Girls Flip Cup. Bring it. Kamino is on the girls team.

[Carey85]

Yeah, I have a non-refundable ticket so I'd better still be in as well. Also, it appears davenumbers has disappeared off of the face of the earth...

[GrandAmChandler]

Nah, I just played Halo 3 with him last night, he's busy getting things ready.

[Kamino]

separate me into the "MEN" pile, plskthxbai. I just got the time off. pending funding, which shouldn't be a problem, i'm in. Arrival times,, anyone? GAC, when are you getting in?
Also, I don't have cell numbers for any of you fuckers anymore except matt-el. I'm still 920 464 0245.
edit, i've got my pickup from the bus stop(thanks dave) and figured out my travel, turns out i can WALK from the janesville-madison line to the madison-greenbay line. FUCK YEAH REAGAN.

[Kamino]

Shit, I have plane tickets, I better still be in!

Guys vs. Girls Flip Cup. Bring it. Kamino is on the girls team.
seriously, do NOT fuck with me. I WILL punch you.

[dave2236]

I'm still here, getting things ready for the party.

Gotta Pick Kamino up from the bus station Thursday night, Carey from airport, pick up 2 half barrels for the tap system and fill the CO2 tanks. I'm also working on finishing the Smash TV cabinet and the World Series cabinet. I just finished Asteroids Deluxe and Punch-Out


What kind of beer do we want for the tap? I can fit 2 half barrels in the freezer. i was thinking of getting PBR on tap and Miller Lite on tap.


Ryan you can buy the Mini-Ms. Pac after CDE. Its a shame you can't make it. I was thinking we could fit it in your vehicle and you could just take it home with you.


I've also been busy selling arcade machines. I have to bring one to Chicago and 2 to Indianapolis this week. So there is a day worth of driving.

looking forward to seeing everyone soon.

[Carey85]

PBR and Miller Lite are fine by me for the on tap. I'll have to get your phone number closer to the trip, but right now it looks like I'll be there and done with baggage claim and that happy horseshit at about 5pm on friday.

[Kamino]

I'd vote for miller highlife over lite, but i can always drink PBR. lol.
thanks for the pickup dave. buying my bus ticket today, just gotta drag my hung over ass off the couch.

[Matt-El]

High Life.


Provided my car's still up and running and i have money, I'm still coming. Oh and I'll bring my Datel Service tool and Magic memory card for those who may want custom firmware on their PSP.


August 17th is my birthday, so this better be awesome, or Mike Otto gets hit in the face.

[GrandAmChandler]

Miller Lite for Erin and I please. Or anything by Leinies.

[Kamino]

leinies red could be interesting..hrrrm

[Carey85]

Hmm, I like the thought of you "fixing" my PSP, matt. If you don't come, Mike Otto is getting punched in the face. 15 days until I'm in Wisconsin!11!1!!!1!!

[Kamino]

i'm going to puke on spoon if matt doesn't show up.
loudly.

also another drunken disgruntled #vbender resident is moar than likely showing up. stay tuned for that....once shit's final.

[Carey85]

Are you going to hold us in suspense? Who else is planning on coming?

[Kamino]

for a day or two.
I figure you didn't have enough reasons to punch me in the face at CDE and would give you yet another.

[Kamino]

ok, bluteg and i are both coming on thursday. we grabbed a hotel room as we figured dave's floor is going to be fucking crowded. hotel is on the same side of town as the airport. If I remember green bay right. it's been a while. i haven't been there since before i went to suckifornia.

[Bluteg]

Yup I'm gonna be there. Looking forwards to meeting you guys, I've been here awhile and has always been tied down to attend anything. I'm going its paid for FUCK YEAH, I can't wait.

[Kamino]

fuck yeah. REAGAN

[Nero 99]

hey can anyone come over or is it only for people dave knows? and if I can come isthere anything I need to bring?

[spoon]

Gina and I are still in. I've just been busy working 28/30 days and working on cars and what not.

I hear Perkar and I have been challenged to Beer Pong by some girl named Kamino?

I vote for PBR on tap. And Dave, I have 200 for ya.

[Carey85]

Hey dave, spoon has some straight cash homie for you. Also, keep in mind that he will quickly burn up his store credit immediately upon arrival :)

[Matt-El]

Ok. Address and Directions?

I'll be over sometime Friday Evening.

[Darth Vader]

What is this CDE thing you speak of? and who is this fellow named kamino, seems like an interesting character.

[Perkar]

hezeuschrist and i should be arriving late afternoon early evening on friday. rockin \m/

[dave2236]

I will email or PM directions and address to everyone in a couple of days. Its easy to find, just drive to Green Bay and ask for Dave's house.

Gonna start cleaning the house and gonna pick up the half barrels tomorrow.

Just ask for directions to the oval office. That's the other name of dave's house.......

[Perkar]

t minus 2 days. who's ready to drink?

[dave2236]

Karl just called me, He's coming Thursday afternoon/night.

Going to run to Sams tomorrow or friday to pick up food.

I'm ready to drink, been cleaning the house all day and putting a bathroom in downstairs.

[Perkar]

dave: check your PMs, hoser =p

[Cryomancer]

Saturday then, what time of day? I'll probably end up just driving up, hanging out for awhile, and driving back home. Then agains my sleep schedule i so fucked up right now maybe that's not a great idea. We'll see what happens I guess. I would like to make it, no promises though, I'm poor as hell anyway and have nothing decent to trade. Sorry for potentially backing out. I'd ask to tag along with someone else coming near my area, but I doubt there will be many. Guess kamino and I should have discussed this, oh well.

gonna be shirts again this year?

[dave2236]

Saturday is when most people are coming, Karl, Kamino, and Bluteg are already here playing rock band downstairs. carey85 is flying in this afternoon.

You can stop by anytime Saturday, i'm sure most of us won't be up till around noon, then I'm making pancakes and waffles.

I didn't get shirts this year, I was just going to pull out the 06 shirts and fill in a line to make it 08....I'm lazy

[Cryomancer]

Hah, sounds like a plan. But yeah, I don't think I'm gonna make it unfortunately. Lots of stuff hit me with bad timing this year I am afraid. I was really looking forward to coming too.

Oh well I might be on live here and there over the weekend if you guys have something we could play online (my online able game selection kinda sucks though).
