Sean Kelly's 6th Annual [aka "Chi-Town Classic"]

[Kroogah]

Oh my God I got an invite. I feel honored. Norridge, right? I am going to try my damndest to make it down (maybe bribe some of my DDR friends with tokens for a trip to the HIP?)

So who's going? I see a list of names in the invite but I don't know the respective forum handles of all of 'em!

[Chunky]

I'll take a ride down dare. It's in walking distance to the HIP. nice store w/space!

since i always have to deal with multiple people named steve everywhere i go. so again i will only go by Chunky.

[slapdash]

Argh! I'll be out of the country, so I'm not going to make it this year. :-(

[digitalpress]

I've got my tickets, I'll be there! I need to figure out what I'm brining trade/sales wise, so if anyone has anything in particular they're looking/collecting for, speak up!

[Queen Of The Felines]

I'm going, and I'm bringing a boxed Channel F for trade and maybe some other crap-o-licious stuff.

In addition to any goodies I don't have, I'll be looking in particular for NES boxes and books, both common and rare, plus the last 10 carts I need to complete my NES collection:

Caltron 6-in-1
Bomberman 2
Bonk's Adventure
Little Samson
Moon Ranger
Nobunaga's Ambition 2
Panic Restaurant
Romance of the 3 Kingdoms II
Stadium Events
TMNT Tournament Fighters

I'll be bringing my full tradebox of games...let me know if anyone is looking for any particular hardware. Looking forward to checking out the store!

Don't forget to tally the votes for the poll!

And steal me a magnet off Sean's fridge ;)

[Sniderman]

Set another place at the table, for I'm making the drive out! Yup, I got an invite and, since my personal trip to CP was pre-empted by a business trip, this will be a chance to hang with the DP crew. Trade stuff is on the light side, but I'll bring a few oddball items that folks might want to fool around with/take home with them.

And those who are attending DPCP'03, stay tuned for final instructions and for a day of fun on Sept. 20th!

[digitalpress]

If things go as planned I should have a few of the new Space Invaders Collection for ColecoVision with me. w00t!

@everybody: keep those lists coming, this is really helping John and I determine what to bring out with us.

[gulag picture radio]

Yep - I'm there again this year! This time I'm bringing more than just a crate full of LD's! :)

I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for, though I would really like a Sega CD memory cartridge. I also wouldn't say "no" to some more Saturn games - there's one that called something like "Virtua Fighter Remix" or something similar where all of the combatants are anime-looking children. They beat each other with lollipops and other non-violent stuff. I also would be interested in any weird Japanese import games for Saturn.

I'm bringing along a couple different consoles to trade (gotta thin the herd), and a boxed NES Power Pack (the big package with the NES, floor pad, game), a famicom clone unit, probaby some other stuff. Still gotta dig through storage.

If anyone has an C64 audio/MIDI/music stuff, I'm interested. I'm looking for a cart called "SID symphony", and any weird sound speech synthesis stuff. Also interested in Amiga stuff aimed at video/multimedia. Also looking for Odyssey Voice add-on thingy. Anything oriented toward sound or weird music would totally be up my alley.

Also would really like a Game Boy Light. It's the same as a Game Boy pocket, but has a backlight built in. Obsoleted by the SP, but the GB Light is a good unit for music making using those homebrew tracker carts. Nice to be able to see what you're doing with the built in backlight!

Oh, and if anyone has a Pxl2000 camera, or some old Casio keyboards to ditch, let me know! :)

I had a _really_ good time last year just hanging ot with everybody and am looking forward to doing the same this year. I'm also bringing my video camera to grab some shots for the retro gaming TV show that I'm working on, so everybody might want to bring their best smiles and maybe even some bragworthy stuff. :D

[Goodwill Hunter]

...If anyone has an C64 audio/MIDI/music stuff, I'm interested. Also interested in Amiga stuff aimed at video/multimedia. ...


I'll have a SegaCD Memory cart or two there and there should be some C64 sound stuff in my tradebox. Let me know, and I can bring a keyboard that fits over the C64 keyboard, and with software on a 5-1/4" lets you play music on the C64. I can also lug down an Amiga a500, or Amiga 2000 with Toaster boards if you like.

And I went back and got those DC Halflife guidebooks we talked about at the MWC if you're still interested.

See you there!

Rich

[Queen Of The Felines]

If anyone has any press kits, please bring them along!

Chunky, I want that Gallop Racer. Want my Colecovision? :D

Btw, should I bring along my NTSC Asterix so it can get dumped?

Kristine

[Kroogah]

Good news! Maybe! ^_^

The HIP just got F-ZERO AX, and I have a friend who is dying to play it (along with myself) so I might be able to attend. Depending on what time of the day this thing is going on.

Fingers crossed....damn I want to actually meet some DP peeps in person....

[Chunky]

Chunky, I want that Gallop Racer. Want my Colecovision? :D


ok you got it....i did need a coleco, but then by some strange way yesterday a co-worker handed me one with the 2600 expansion and 40 atari games. and an atari 600xl

what i need are some coleco games and inserts, and some atari 400/600/800 games.

[Chunky]

I can't say I want one, I've just never seen or played one. but if anyone could bring along a Aladdin Deck Enhancer I can check out, that would be funky!

[CX2K]

Well, just to give everyone a head's up.

I'm bringing a shitload of freebies for everyone to grab. I've decided that I have way too much promo stuff, DVD and CD press kits, and other give-aways that I've colllected over the years from E-3 and other shows.

There will be literally hundreds of items there, all for free! So don't be late or you might get stuck with a measly pack of Ninja Gaiden mints or something, if there's even anything left.

Can't wait to see everyone again next week.

Take care and see you at Sean Kelly's Multi-blast! The best party of the year (except for CGE) :)

John

[digitalpress]

I'm really psyched for this get-together. Anytime I can hang out with friends, trade and play games, and NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITIES... those are the "golden moments" in my otherwise non-golden life.

UPDATE: I received a shipment of Space Invaders Collection from Eduardo (opcode) yesterday. They look even better in person than in the pictures, and you just KNOW the game itself is arcade perfect. I'll be bringing along 12 copies for sale or trade. You can be one of the first kids on the block to own one!

See you midwest peeps in just a few days.

[buttasuperb]

I'll be there with a bunch or crap to sell or trade (most likely sell, unless someone has MVS or CPS2 stuff for trade)

What's the address of the PARTY?

Glad to hear you're gonna make it, Nick.

The PARTY is IN THE STORE! w00t! The alcohol and MVS carts will flow!

[digitalpress]

Here's a quick link to commentary and pictures from LAST YEAR's gathering at Sean's.

This year is a little different, being held indoors instead of in his yard, I think it may be the best yet.

[buttasuperb]

hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Is there an MVS setup at the store?

I could bring my crappy supergun and 1-slot, but it's not very portable, and I wouldn't want to damage the 1-slot in transit.

[gulag picture radio]

Anyone want a Famicom clone? It's an all-in-one sort of thing - looks like an N64 controller. It's got a famicomn 78-in-1 cart and it plays Famocom games. It's also got a second controller for 2 player games (looks like a Genesis controller, but has a joystick thing you screw into it) + a light gun? I think that I have an extra one or wo if these NIB that I can bring if anyone's interested.

Anyone want me to bring my Laser Discs again? Amiga stuff?

[Goodwill Hunter]

Saw a Dreamcast Shenmue II for $20 today at a local gamestore. If you want it and will be at Sean's event, let me know and I'll pick it up for you for cost plus tax if it's still there. Getting my tradeboxes in order tonight...really looking forward to Saturday!

Rich

[gulag picture radio]

Here is some stuff that I'm looking for:

- C64 SID symphony cartridge
- C64 monitor & drive cable
- C64 PC interface cable
- AMIGA one stop music shop card (though I'm probably interested in damn near anything Amiga)
- Sega Genesis CDX
- Sega Nomad (I have a working one with a bashed in screen - if you have one that doesn't work, I'd like to trade you for it just to get the screen.)
- Atari 2800 (Sears Video Arcade II) + controllers
- Coleco Gemini + controllers
- anything pertaining to speech synthesis or music making (computer or otherwise)
- Game Boy Light (like Game Boy Pocket, released in Japan)

- Sega CD "Chuck Rock"
- Sega 32X stuff
- Sega Outrun 3D

- PSX "Vib Ribbon"
- PSX Dance Dance Revolution type games

A guy can dream, right?

[buttasuperb]

might as well post a few things I'm looking for

Sega CD Third World War complete
SNES Metal Warriors complete
SNES Super Mario World complete
SNES Super Mario RPG complete
JVC X-eye system
PC Doom 2 complete
DC Cannon Spike complete
DC Project Justice complete
PSX Gunners Heaven import

I think that's it...

[Sniderman]

:( :( :(

Yeah, you can guess by the icons above who has to take a pass on Sean's Chi-Town Fest. Got car issues that may result in me and the mizzus spending the next 48 hours shopping for a vehicle. And, what little cash I had saved up for the trip/spending will not go towards this purchase. Crap, hell, damn.

Thanks for the invite Sean, I appreciate being considered for this event. And my best to everyone who makes it out there. I'll have to show you my stabbing scar at a later date. First DPCP'03 and now this. My social life is spiralling into the shitter.
Damn hell bobbies crap Barbara Streisand.

[Darth Vader]

Dave and I should be making the trek as well, I'll try and post a want list in the next few days. I'm looking forward to seeing you all again!

Did invites go out?

[Queen Of The Felines]

Not yet. I'm going too...yay! Chunky, bring that pachinko machine! LOL

Edit: IF ANYBODY HAS AN MLB SLUGFEST 2004 FOR THE GAMECUBE PLEASE BRING IT ALONG, I DESPERATELY NEED IT!

Kristine

[PapaStu]

I'm planning on being there as well. At the moment im trying to work out a small plane problem (flying in the week before, since the dates seemed to have changed to what they now are)

Personal lookings for include but are not limited to Playstation schwag, PS Longbox stuff, and PlayStation demo's, and PS games in general. (ive got an excel list if anyone needs to know what ive got, just PM me and ill email it to you). Im in particular looking for Working Designs Alundra Disc Art "F" and I also need the Lunar SSSC Fan Edition.

Im always up for current gen stuff (PS2, Xbox, Cube) my excel list shows what ive got there too.

NGPC stuff, ive got about half the US library, (what ive got is also on the list) Looking for the rest and any perifials I can get ahold of.

I dont have a ton to trade, as my mentality is once its in the collection it stays. Usually money talks almost as good as trade right? If not I can see about packing a bag of stuff.

[Kroogah]

Ah, last year. My friend flaked on me. He's dead now.

Not really, relax.

[Darth Vader]

Ah, I revived an old topic from last year. :o Sorry about that, I just figured it was the same. Maybe I should look at the date of the last post before I reply. LOL

Danny

[The Collector]

Is this still gonna happen this year? I'd love to go if it does. Do i need an invitation or does being a DP member enough :D ?


~bill

[Dangerboy]

Well, thanks to Joe I'm in (haven't gotten the official invite yet, though) but I will most definitely there. I have (looking over shoulder) about...7 to 8 boxes worth of trade crap (crap is a pretty wide term...some it's awesome, some of it's well..crap) that I'll be looking to give away and sell/trade off as well as buy stuff.

After FINALLY getting to meet Kristine and Chunkcorn in real life for a brief moment, and finally tracking down Sean Kelly at his store (I still haven't gotten to the Intv games I bought...) I am so *psyched* it's not even funny. I'll be among gaming fandom royalty and get to wrestle 3 people for PSX games, including my new bestest online buddy PapaStu! LOL

If we're still doing the 'what we're looking for/bringing', here are my lists:

WANTED:
Damn near everything and anything US PlayStation
- Complete Demos (see my sig for the list)
- Fighter's Edge Capcom Variants
- Long Box variants (see sig link)
- Eidos GH Variants (they have different demos per version...)
- Working Design variants (that Papastu doesn't need :D )
- Way Older OPM Issues (mags mostly, i have most of the demos)
- Tetris Plus GH with the Gold Foil Logo

BRINGING:
Odds in ends...off the top of my head
- Some SMS games
- Some NES games
- LOTS of music cds
- PC / Console Guides
- Spare orphaned PSX cases/manuals
- Some PSX games
- Lot of RE toy figures
- Press Kit type stuff
- Action Max system with 2 games
- Two saturn games
- Posters
- and on and on...
- good ol cash :hmm:
- Digicam for Pics :D

I so need to get an updated list of needed things :eek 2:
Off to sleep,
Jason

[vintagegamecrazy]

You bet I'll be there this year too. last year was a blast. I'll get my list of trades up soon. Right off the bat I need Casion Poker for Channel F.

[gulag picture radio]

Hiya,

Did I miss the date? I went out of town last weekend, and I'm going away in about three weeks, and would hate to miss the whole goings on! :)

I'm foraging in my storage area to pull some trade stuff. Anyone need any retro console stuff that's exceedingly common? ;D

As for stuff I'm looking for, I'm always into weird stuff esp. Dreamcast, Saturn, Gamecube, and of course the classic systems. I'm into music making on the old consoles, so would welcome any and all music software or hardware for any platform. Still interested in Amiga goodies as well.

While this is really irrelevant, I also collect small guage film like super 8 and 16mm home movies. I"m also way into sound effects records and production music records from radio stations. I thought that I'd mention those sidelines, since they something that I'm thrifting for all the time. :)

I am thinking of bringing along the midiNES cartridge that lets you play the NES' audio output using a MIDI keyboard.

SO I'm hoping that I can join you guys again this year. BTW Rich, I"m bringing that Famiclone that I promised you a year ago! :)

[Jeff-20]

What happened to Sean and his parties? Any news on him?

[gulag picture radio]

Dammit. Turns out that I can't make it this year after all. I'll be out of town for a while, so there's no way that I can make it. I hope that you guys have a lot of fun, and let me know what amiga goodies are on their way to the dumpster! :)

[Goodwill Hunter]

SO I'm hoping that I can join you guys again this year. BTW Rich, I"m bringing that Famiclone that I promised you a year ago! :)

I knew it was too good to be true (sniff)...looks like I'm destined to spend yet another year in my gameroom, pining away for the elusive famiclone :(



Just Kidding! See you next year, perhaps...maybe I'll have some more amiga goodies by then!

Rich

[Jeff-20]

Did the 2004 party already happen? Everyone is so vague. This is confusing.

[vintagegamecrazy]

Yoohoo! Did Sean send out the invites yet?

[Queen Of The Felines]

Did the 2004 party already happen? Everyone is so vague. This is confusing.

It's October 16th.

Kristine

[Dan Iacovelli]

I wish I could attend the get togethers at seans place. but Ihave little time.
hope yo guys have fun.

[Kroogah]

Am I correct in that this thing is pronounced "shitown"? LOL
:hmm:

SHY town.

You're thinking of Rockford, Illinois, which is pronounced "shit town"

[Atarian75]

How does one get in on this? Or is it invite only?

-Atarian75

[dave2236]

I need some sega saturn a/v cables or rf switches if anyone has some extra ones to sell.

I personally will be looking for Karaoke Revolution 2 and 3 and other Eye Toy games.

I'll also be hunting for NES boxes.

I'll be bringing tons of N64 books and boxes and lots of snes boxes.

plus nice carts only of Intv congo bongo, turbo, and fathom. (sorry no overlays darth vader already snagged them )

thats about it.

I plan on relaxing more than working. Who wants to play some Super Smash Bros.?

[Kroogah]

http://www.spaceballsthewebsite.com/yashiro/wants.txt

There you go. I don't have much tradebait, but I am scanning people's tradelists and going shopping this week.

[The Collector]

I'll be looking for MVS carts and then mostly SNES boxes/manuals. Oh, and i'll be buying/trading for as many hard plastic NES/SNES/N64 snap cases as i can get.

See you there :D
