WI/IL Gaming night / "Out of control" 2007

[Kamino]

Well, I've moved out again, hence, I am able to host another Wisconsin/Illinois gaming night!

Here's my tenative plan.
I learned a bit from out of control 2006. It was a great time, But This time I would like to not piss off ALL MY NEIGHBOURS AT ONCE.
I am now located in plymouth, WI. I'm not in a building this time; the distance between my walls and the neighbour's houses exceeds 20feet.
My idea is to do this on a saturday in march. Do the gaming thing during the day, and I'll BBQ outside. There's plenty of room outside to stand around and drink, etc...and about the same amount of room as 2006 inside, if we pile up tradeboxes outside instead of inside.
In the evening, to avoid any cops showing up, I suggest we move it over to a hotel in town. I'd ask that everyone who plans to stay for this portion chip in for the hotel room.

Now, as for date: like I said, I'm thinking march. We *could* do late april, but the weekend of the 14th-15th is out of the question for me, as I am attending pinball at the zoo in michigan.

Any particular weekend work better for X person?? We have a *little* time to iron this out.

[Kroogah]

I want me some o dis.

[YoshiM]

Depending on how my weekends go, this looks do-able.

[The Brown Eye]

I am in this time, no bailing out. My work schedule has changed so there should be no problems.

And why the fear of the police? You'll probably get arrested for something eventually, so why not get it out of the way early? No time like the present, I always say.

[Perkar]

i can't believe there were no cops for OUT OF CONTROL 2k6, and then when we had 5 people in the fucking aprtment, minding our own business playing guitar hero, we had cops show up. fucking ridiculous.

[DigitalSpace]

YOU ARE SO OUT OF CONTROL

(Couldn't resist.)

[Kamino]

As of now, I'm thinking either the 17th, 24th, or 31st of March. I'll finalise the date before the first of Febuary.

[Matt-El]

I vote for 24th.

I'll be there.

[Kamino]

anyone else in for the 24th?

[The Brown Eye]

Works for me. I do hope that the weather cooperates.

[JJNova]

OUTTA CONTROL MY DICK!

As I am moving farther away, I get more pissed off. Everyon, moving to texas! Pack your shit and join us. We'll have a huge jamboree known as "Sothys Seriously Stupendous Super Summer Sequence 2007!!!!!!!!"







hosted at fuyukaze's place (just dont tell him)

[Kamino]

cancelled.

[YoshiM]

Well, since Kamino cancelled I wouldn't mind hosting it. I live in a two story house with a pretty huge living area and a decent size dining area so space isn't a problem. I'm not sure exactly how "out of control" things went (I heard rumors) and while I can't get evicted, I do live about two blocks from the cop shop...just FYI. If that's not a deterrent I also own cats, in case anyone is allergic.

I'll check the wife's schedule to see if there's anything conflicting with the aforementioned March 24th date. If anyone's interested, lemme know.

[Kamino]

WTF, If you host i'm down.
the main reason i cancelled is this - I have less space than I had in FDL, and I found out that ALL The neighbours know the dude who rents me this place - who is also a family f riend - yada yada yada, I can't really afford to do it. I'd be more than willing to pitch in though, if YoshiM's hosting.

[The Brown Eye]

Well poo! Since Kamino cancelled, I will be busy the weekend of the 17th or the 24th (not sure which one yet). I should know end of next week or so. Anything in April will work for sure, as would the 31st.

I'd be more than happy to bring something from all of the food groups (salt, fat, beer, and sugar).

[YoshiM]

Oh, forgot to mention that I live in Sheboygan, which is 10 miles east of Plymouth right off of highway 43.

So far March 24th is still looking good, I should know 100% by Monday if the wife planned anything (she likes doing up Pampered Chef and other such deals).

Also, think of what you all would like to eat. We can grill out, order some insanely tasty but cheap pizza (Theo's Pizza, tastes like Little Caeser's and it's $5 for a large one topping 'za) whatever. We'll stock up on some soda but you'll have to bring your own alcohol as we don't drink and thus don't know what to really get (and might get skunky beer or something).

As for gaming, I have a 27" TV in the main room, a 27" TV upstairs in my game room, a 13" Commodore monitor and an older no-frills 20" Zenith with coax antenna connection. Game systems I have are Atari VCS, INTV, SMS, NES, SNES, Saturn, Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Xbox and a Wii with three controllers (& 2 chucks so far).

While I live in the city I haven't really looked at what hotel accomodations there are so I'll research that and post later. I haven't run the idea of having people stay over with the wife (as I just thought of that now) but it shouldn't be a problem as we do have space (one love seat, one long couch, total of four recliners in the house, a spare bedroom, the floor of the living area and a basement that's fairly warm and has a toilet). I'll let y'all know on that.

I'm pretty sure I have nothing going on that weekend, so count me in.

I can bring an arcade machine along for entertainment.

Hopefully I have a house by June, then we can have a party at my place.

[Kroogah]

March 24th would be great. I need a weekend away from Rockford, and I'm not sure if I can last until MGC!

I can supply GH2 + 2 guitars, my own Wiimote+chuck, Rayman, Warioware Ridiculous Moves, a Commodore monitor, and a bunch of GC goodness (Smash, Mario Kart, Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Donkey Konga 1 and 2)

Anyone have Saturn Bomberman and some multitaps? I bought Bomberman '93 for Virtual Console and I've been jonesing. I can bring my own controller for that too.

I can also bring tunes.

Is this gathering for any board members that want to come, or do you all know eachother personally? Because I asked to ride with Kroogah and he said no because we've never met before. Which threw me off becuase I was assuming this was mostly board members who have not met previously.

No, it's for any board members, I just don't want to pick you up cuz I don't know you personally. Feel free to come.
