Given the feedback so far, I propose Saturday, June 5th as the official date?
It's the first Saturday in June and it's well enough away to make room on your calendars.

Who'da thought it'd be so hard to get a bunch of guys together to drink beer and play video games?   ;D


I second that, sounds like a good date to me.

I've added it to my calendar (in pen).  

Now I just need to figure out if it's worth staying overnight or just driving up for the day.

Anyone going from the Boston area?

Hey If you want you can ride up with mr curmdegeon and myself and you can stay at my summer cottage as well if you'd like. It's small 2 br. cottage but  have a pullout couch or air mattress you can sleep on. I am thinking about going up Friday night and staying till  Sunday afternoon

HeY I am just bumping this up

We need more fellow new englanders  to see this

Here is the list (so far)
Ed O'Neill   (Methuen)
mr.curmdegeon (Lowell)
Recycled Past (Dracut)
Teknique and friend (Everett, Saugus)
JoyMonkey (Boston) still need a ride?

The date is Saturday,June 5th

For those of you who don't know the area there are also 2 more arcades within 1 mile of Funspot. They are both at Weirs Beach ...1 is the Pier Arcade ?  It's big and is mostly newer games, and the other is across the street it's called the Half Moon and has some old pinballs and one of those old shooting rifle games where you shoot at things and it make things move or make sounds.

Also the  last few summers they had Firworks on Friday Night,I'm  not sure if they will be doing it this year but I will be looking into it as I will be opening my summer cottage with in the next few weekends.

Also are you guys up for some grilling at my place?

 It will only save us money rather than eating takeout ...then we can spend more money on more important things like........ beer, video games,  beer, women, beer and more beer.

Hey if your intereted please post, also let us know if your bringing wife,girlfriend, kids....just curious because  I don't want to bring my wife and son if no one else is.

Looking forward to meeting you guys

Signed
Ed

pointdablame,

I have actually started a friendship ( I think?) with mr curmudgeon, he live close to me and we have been working on getting our machines up and running he is the computer wiz living in an apartment with no place to actually build the mame cab and I am a homowner hack who collects..LOL woodworking tools. I think you know what I mean I am the type of guy who looks for an excuse to buy a new power tool. So we will be building are machines here at my house.

I have talked with recycled past and hopefully he and I will get together soon ,so he can give me some pointers. He has his machine already done,and  he also lives in the next town over. I probably drive right by his house on the way to
mr. curmudgeon, because his  town is the one that separates my town and mr. curmudgeon

I hopw you can find someway to get there...There is a bus terminal in Concord NH .Hey I'll pick you up there if you can make it.

I know there are some people missing from this , I know someone is from Concord NH  but his screen name excapes me.I think I am going to stat a new thread about this, an d possiblly send pm's or emails to the people from this thread and the other thread that was started before this.

Sweet Ed!

I am the leader (and only member) of a Jetski gang on Winni. called the Baby Shoguns.  I am often up by the Weirs (and occassionally in Paugus Bay- usually for Naswa or to go to BK or Lillikolani's (closed) just for the cool factor of docking there.    I have a 98' Kawi 1100stx so Ill be on the look out for ya.

Would be interested in riding a 3/4 jetski though  :p

Anyway, your ALOT closer to Funspot so would be a good place for a central meeting spot- Id be down for a BBQ.
