Kids and wives and husbands, girlfriends and boyfriends are welcome.

There will be beer, food, water, pop or soda, whatever you call it.

If you have something that is broken, bring it. Maybe we can fix it.

that's an awesome offer! thanks for supporting the hobby!

where you at? probably 1000 miles from me. 

[Mike A]

Wonder Lake, IL 60097

[lilshawn]

Hmmm...


1578 miles to be exact 

[Mike A]

We are practically neighbors, astronomically speaking.

100 miles was too much for two members here recently.  That 20+ year history meant nothing apparently.

drive 100 miles an hour and, you'd be there in an hour! 

Texas is only about 2000 miles... ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---, if you drove 2000 miles an hour....

I know it is probably pointless to keep posting here, but....

One guy is bringing a raster monitor that we are going to troubleshoot.

Another guy is bringing his Monaco GP mini that doesn't work.

I have a bunch of stuff that needs attention.

If you have a broken arcade thing that you want looked at, then bring it here.

We will be playing games, working on games, and drinking beer.

Come out on Saturday. I will be home all day, but people are probably going to show up at about 2 o'clock.

[Mike A]

We had a good time on Saturday.

We fixed 2 K4600 monitors.

One guy left 2 PCBs for the game "Subs" for me to diagnose.

We played a bunch of games.

I made tacos.

One guy brought venison sausage.

If you live within a 2 hour drive of my house, you should punch yourself in the dick for not showing up.
