North East/NYC RB Meetup: Any Interest?

[o.pwuaioc]

Yearly bump. Apart from Barcade, here are some possibilities:

Next Level Arcade
Two Bits Retro Arcade
China Town Fair
  * Nothing special. fvgazi and I visited this place last year. They did have an MVS and I a Capcom cab, but not much else.

My place is tiny, but I could potentially accommodate around 8 people mildly comfortably. Unfortunately, I own no couch, but I do have 4 chairs and two TVs. Oh, and I'm in Manhattan now, so no long treks out to Brooklyn. There's usually parking nearby, too.

This would have to be after Feb 1st, but after that, I'm not particular on when.

[enderfall]

Hey, you can put me on the potential roster. I'm moving to NJ at the beginning of October. Might be a while before I can attend one as I settle in, but I'll try to get to one of these at some point!

[dsheinem]

I think I mentioned that I'd be most interested in something in early Spring, my Fall is pretty full and Winter's weather is unpredictable at best.

[noiseredux]

I'd say there's like less than a 1% chance I'd be able to make this. Way too much stuff going on for me right now and in the near future.

[saturnfan]

Count me in!

dsheinem and noise - no problem, I'll move you to the "1% chance of coming" roster.

And added you saturnfan and enderfall.

why only 1%? You haven't picked a date yet...

Hopefully we'll have this more than once. I'd like to get something going rather soon, but there's no reason we can't repeat this a few times in the spring, too!

Hmm, so you are thinking all future area meetups should be in NYC?

"The Ballz on this guy!"

What about folks in PA? NJ? It would be nice to have a similar set of folks rotating together from one town to another for the meetups in the area...here last time, NYC next time, maybe Philly the time after, then the shore, etc. There's lots of locations within 2-3 hours drive for pretty much any of us in the NE...

Is there a geographical name for the lower northeast? Should we expand it to include upper northeast as well? I just gave an initial suggestion, I'm down for whatever.

Re: Ballz - I still fear what that video might have me saying heh heh.
