Chicagoland BYOAC meetup?
DougHillman:
Certainly wouldn't be limited to Chicagoans only. :)
Hosting at my place is not viable and my GF's place is a little small as well, depending on the turnout. I may have something else in mind though.
Any other locals have cabs that could be transported and a way to do so? Or if transport could be arranged, would be willing to drag their cab to a get-together?

I live in Aurora IL but im 15 lol, and my cabinet isnt done, so im not very welcome.
DougHillman:
I dunno what them stuffy East Coast guys do, but I'd think we'd want anyone and everyone who's interested in this stuff. :) We'd certainly not disclude anyone just because they haven't got their projects comepleted (or even started) yet. I'd look upon a meetup as a chance to yap about this stuff in person, share ideas & plans, and get inspired. As well as getting to place some faces with some screen names.
I may be able to arrange an inexpensive place for us to get together and set up a coupla local cabinets for some game playing and whatnot. I'm thinking about something along the lines of a LAN party for MAMErs. Maybe have some demonstrations of cabinet building techniques or something along those lines. Explinations of how to set up MAMEWAH or whatever. :)
In fact, I may try to set something up in conjunction with a LAN party that goes on around here somewhat regulalry. They've had a company that manufactures emu cabs set up a few before, but I was far from impressed. Maybe we can give a good showing of what can be done in the garage and drag a few more folks into the hobby. :)
Oh, and 3eyedblindman, it's possible that if we ran something with the LAN gamers it'd acually be in Aurora. :) You probably wouldn't even need to bum a ride, you could just walk on over. You ever been to Walter Payton's Roundhouse?
ErikRuud:
I'm in St. Charles so Aurora is very easy for me. I've never gone to the Roundhouse though.
I think I can get my cab out of the basement, but I have not tried yet.
It would almost have to be on a saturday if I'm going to bring my cab.
Weekday nights are going to be very busy after the scool year starts for my daughter.

I'll attend and can bring a cocktail and maybe an upright. I'm in Naperville, but I'll show up wherever.
