hey guys... looks like fun. I'd be intersted in the august meetup (if you'll have me *ducks*)

I was in beantown with my wife celebrating our 4th anniversary and believe me you guys would have been jealous of me. To think you were playing video games adn drinking and hucking it up, I was watching the musical Oklahoma in a fancy theater

Well the wife was happy, so maybe i've built up enough husband escrow to go in August (or whatever).

rampy--- out!

I am just about finished with MAME on the MOVE...it's a laptop mame machine...I bring it up on the next get together.

I'm thinking of putting together a little bar-top like Recycled Past's using all the spare parts and junk I've got lying around, if it's done by then I'll take it along too. Maybe we could all build something and have a mini-cab pageant? All competing for the prestigious title of Little Miss Mame Cab, New England

joeyray,

joeyray · « **Reply #48 on:** June 14, 2004, 02:31:48 pm »

I live in Tewksbury.
I'm a big fan of retro gaming most of today's newer games don't cut it for me. Give me 2 buttons and a joystick and I'm good!
I've dabbled a little bit here and there
with emulators and Rom's on my PC. I've given some thought
to building my own Cabinet. Where I dont know what I'm getting myself into time and cost wise, I'm leary to jump in.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #49 on:** June 14, 2004, 05:34:16 pm »

I sent you a IM (private message)

joeyray · « **Reply #50 on:** June 15, 2004, 09:08:51 am »

I got it and replyed back.
Thanks for offering help.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #51 on:** June 20, 2004, 09:39:41 am »

Ok thats cool, we will hook up later. As for the name, it doesn't have much to do with anything actually. I got into BBS chatting in highschool and used that as one of my original on-line names. It's original intent was to imply some kind of sexual prowess. I then changed the 'ch' to a 'k' for a spin on the word. Not much glamor I know, sorry.

I just noticed that Back In Time ( http://www.backntime.net ) has added a write-up of the 2004 Funspot tournament. I don't see any of us wandering around in the backgrounds of any photos, but it's nice to get a look at the games that were in the competition area.

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #56 on:** July 23, 2004, 02:40:31 pm »

I haven't been around lately (working two jobs), but I just wanted to dust this thread off and see if we're still on for the 14th of Aug.?

I'm in for sure. Hope we can get this thing together again.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #57 on:** July 26, 2004, 10:01:53 pm »

Damn! I just realized that I promised to attend a golf fund-raiser on the 14th a long, long time ago (I didn't go last year and if I don't go this year I'm in big trouble with all the in-laws).
Also, my beautiful car died so I don't have any way of getting up there now anyway.

Shite! Any chance of setting another date?

ChadTower · « **Reply #58 on:** July 27, 2004, 10:43:43 am »

I'd definitely try to get in on an 8/14 get together...

RecycledPast · « **Reply #59 on:** July 27, 2004, 04:09:54 pm »

I think I'm free that day 8/14

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #60 on:** August 03, 2004, 07:21:27 am »

BUMP!

Is anybody keeping an eye on this thread? Or is there a new one started that I missed?
August 14th is right around the corner now. I still don't think I can make it that day.

Is it too late to suggest changing it to the 21st?
I think I was the idiot that suggested the 14th in the first place!

SirPeale · « **Reply #61 on:** August 03, 2004, 08:07:07 am »

I wish it was *this* weekend. My wife just declared that she's taking the kids to her parents for the weekend to give me the weekend off!

I have no idea what I'm going to do this weekend.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #62 on:** August 03, 2004, 08:15:44 am »

This weekend (the 7th) would work for me too, but it might be a little short notice for everyone else.

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #63 on:** August 03, 2004, 10:49:15 am »

How many of you can make it on the 21st?

If we can get more people, I propose we move the meet-up to Saturday, August 21st.

Chime in and we'll decide from there. I'm cool w/ just about any date, so it's probably up to you guys/gals.

Peace.
mrC.

ChadTower · « **Reply #64 on:** August 03, 2004, 10:56:49 am »

As of right now, I'm cool with that, though I admit that can change in an instant with my job.

crashwg · « **Reply #65 on:** August 03, 2004, 11:02:24 am »

I can be there at any point in time. So count my vote for whichever date is the most popular.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #66 on:** August 03, 2004, 07:39:46 pm »

ok well I see there is a new thread (I actually posted on that one first )

I think we can have a repeat on the 21st...a little gaming good food and great company sound cool

Well, there may be interest in getting it going again this year. So keep an eye out.
(maybe this should be in the Meet-up forum though?)

Damn dude, bumping for no good reason is retarded. I was thinking this was some new thing until I saw Rampy's avatar.
