My wife and I will come up for the day.

[Ed ONeill]

As you maay or may not know I jhave been remodeling my kictchen and bath and I haven't had time to really think anything trough

Having said that I am suggesting we follow the same game plan as the last 3 meeting .

Funspot at 1Pm and we'll go from there!

[crashwg]

Sounds like a good plan.  At the flagpole as usual?

Like I said before, we've got coupons.  Alot of them!

My sister isn't arround to make potato salad again so we won't be bringing any food, but we'll be going to the store anyways for beer so we'll be picking up a few things.  Whatevers needed...

[mr.Curmudgeon]

Talked to Ed earlier, everything is still on...

I'm driving up with Jason and Wife in tow, see you there @ 1pm, flagpole or we'll just see you inside the Funspot.

Hey guys - poor planning on my part. I guess I should have figured out what you guys looked like or had some alternate mode of communication prior to today.

I made it up to Funspot, but I was late and it didn't help matters stopping in the wrong arcade first. I had never been to Funspot before, but when I asked a friend for directions to the big arcade up in Weirs Beach, he directed me to the arcade right on the lake.

After asking for directions, I made it to Funspot around 2:00 - long after you guys left the flagpole. I asked around inside for a little bit - if anyone was there because of the forum or BYOAC and I got a lot of funny looks.

It was my first time up at Funspot, but it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the place - especially upstairs. They could do with a couple of more bathrooms though.

My friend and I pretty much stuck in the row with Galaga, Star Wars, Satans Hollow, Missile Command and Tron. I kept jumping back and forth between the last two since they were side-by-side. On an not so interesting side-note, I played the cockpit version of After Burner downstairs and almost tossed breakfast - it was a rough night on Friday.

Sorry I missed you guys - looking forward to meeting you all someday.

Sounds like my last trip to FunSpot to meet the guys.

Maybe holding up a sign for a couple of minutes would have helped?  Looks stupid too, but is a LOT more effective.

[mr.Curmudgeon]

Next time, we'll have several people wearing BYOAC t-shirts...I have no idea why we haven't done that yet.

I wore my BYOAC hat to the first one, but everyone thought it was a lollypop.

I had my own mini-geekfest yesterday; in-between cleaning/unpacking Jen and I went down to our new local arcade (which is nothing compared to FunSpot, but it's there) and played some Galaga, Centipede and Asteroids. They've got an Ultrachode machine there and I was delighted to see that the thing was out of order 
Some Asteroids wiz must live around here, everytime I go down there the hi-score is absolutely ridiculous. Yesterday it was at 999990- which is the highest it gets. Unless there's some cheat out there...

[RecycledPast]

I can't believe how busy it was.  It's was like someone dropped a bunch of gremlins in the pool.  The bottom floor was flooded with little kids. 

Next time PM someone that is going and get a cell phone #.  We can probably post a picture of a few of the guys and set up an alternate meeting time, say 3pm for the people that are late (there's always a few).

[fiscap]

Yeah, when I first walked into the place my reaction was "Holy Kids!!" I think the bad weather had a lot to do with it. Maybe when we have our next meet this fall it won't be as bad with the little munchkins back in school.

I like the idea of t-shirts - it'll make it real easy to pick out fellow forum members.
