Chicagoland BYOAC meetup?

Pages: << < (2/22) > >>

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?

the3eyedblindman:

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.



daeven:

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