SEATTLE gaming meet now with Pics!

[Anotherfluke]

FINALLY. There's going to be a gaming swap meet and get together on June 25th at my house in Seattle!

All are welcome, please rsvp in this thread, and include anything you'd be interested in bringing, or things you are looking for! There will also be some discussion about next year's NWCGE. The meet will begin at 2:00pm and go until at least 6:00pm at which point we will go out to eat (I think either Gameworks or Jillians, but I'm open for anything). I plan on having some of my more interesting games set up and ready to play (including some imports, steel battalion, typing of the dead, although I only have one keyboard so if anyone has another...).

EDIT: See below for a few pics from Saturday's meet!

Someone better remember to bring pictures. I LOVE house parties. I wish I could attend all of these events professionally!

FYI folks who are coming from the South. Next weekend 3 of the 4 lanes of I-5 southbound will be closed. This won't affect you on the way up here, but on the way back you will want to take an alternate route.

I'll have maps and routes ready for you if you need or want them. Same goes for people on the East Side. You will want to come over via 520. Do not take I-90 home!

You have been warned!

Thanks to everyone who came out for the NWRetro meet! We had a total of 12 people show up for Saturday's meet, and more video games than my house could handle! Many thanks to everyone who showed up, I hope you had a good time.
