9/30...like tomorrow? I imagine you mean 10/30 as you NE guys are notorious for your Sunday events. :)

[christianscott27]

doh! i think i've screwed up the date in some way for every trademeet thread i've ever started. :embarrassed:

yes its october 30th, another sunday, as yours truely works on saturdays.

[heyricochet]

You forgot to mention what else you posted on NECG:

"anyone who wants to achieve lasting geek fame is encouraged to come in their gaming themed halloween costume."

[chadtower]

I've already done my costume time at an NECG event, thanks.

This is two weeks away, so I'm bumping it up. If you're in the area and even thinking of coming, then definitely do so. If you need more convincing, then head over to our forums, register, and let us know what's stopping you. We'll fix it.

Also, depending upon time available for packing stuff up and space in the car, I might be putting on the first ever NINJA AUCTION, during which I will be auctioning off a vast portion of my console collection at rock-bottom prices. So bring some cash - you'll need it.

[heyricochet]

Scott, I can haul some stuff too if you need it since you're close.

[ClubNinja]

Thanks for the offer man, but remember - I might be the one hauling you, too ;)

[Lady Jaye]

It's really too bad that you guys always schedule your meets on a Sunday... I'd love to go some day, but it'd have to be a Saturday, so I can get my butt there and come back to Montreal (all I can afford is to go by bus, not by plane...).

[ClubNinja]

Unfortunately, since Christian hosts, we must work with his schedule, which only allows Sundays. Believe me, even the majority of our regulars would prefer Saturdays, but we gotta do what we gotta do.

[heyricochet]

Thanks for the offer man, but remember - I might be the one hauling you, too ;)

Well I figured I wasn't fitting since you have your liquidation sale, but whatever works for you.

[Lady Jaye]

Well, then, since for once your meeting and ours (the CCJVQ) aren't on the same weekend, why don't you guys come by on Nov. 12 in Montreal? :)

Well, it's looking like Ms and Baby Ninjas won't be attending this time around, so I might have extra space. I'll let you know shortly. If so, then I'll have you meet me at my place and we'll go from there.

If I were back in Montreal, I'm sure as hell not looking for a game meet.

[Sylentwulf]

Not going to be able to make it, since I moved, it's a bit too far to go. 4 hours driving time (total) for 5 hours playtime, I just can't quite justify it unfortunately :( Hopefully next time!

[toddst]

I always forget about this Events and Gatherings forum.

The 30 minute walk to get there is hard to justify. Hell, I might be lazy and take the bus...

See you all on Sunday!

[ClubNinja]

Hurray!

And remember, everyone bring cash. I'm a motivated seller ;)

[ClubNinja]

Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!!!!!!!!!!

take your truck - you'll need it for all the beer and clocks

I don't plan on driving myself home. Hmmm, maybe I can convince Kim to drive...

Oh, and I am bringing party favors for everyone...just think crappy accessory for a portable console.

Wow, do I look horrible in negative. Only one of those pictures looks worse - can you guess which one?

Speaking of Prop H, I felt bad for the guy last night when things were wrapping up. He was standing on the sidewalk waiting for his mother to pick him up while heyricochet and I were loading up my car. She pulls up and, before he even has a chance to pick up his things, she starts screaming at him to move his ass. So, he struggles to scoop everything up and asks her to help him get it into the car. She continues to yap about how he's forcing her to block traffic because he takes so long. Hey baby, there was plenty of room to pull over, so shut it.

I don't think he reads DP, so I feel comfortable saying this here without offending him. Prop H's mom sucks.

[Keir]

Wow, that's pretty sad.

BTW, I didn't take ownership of the wireless SMS, I was just admiring it. Here's a pic of what I took home last night (minus a SNES power supply and some fond memories... :) )

[ClubNinja]

Fond memories? Where did you find those? ;)

It excites me that half of that stuff came from my piles. I totally forgot that you got the Blaster Master. I hope it's remotely enjoyable.

[christianscott27]

games take me to a place where you cant go mother...

Pfft It was a Hogan's Alley, not a gyromite. God, people these days.
