With 77 days between meetup #1 and #2 we're a little overdue for a new meetup don't you think?

SirPeale · « **Reply #1 on:** November 16, 2004, 11:25:23 am »

Considering I didn't run into any of you folk at the last one, it's been even longer for me.

crashwg · « **Reply #2 on:** November 16, 2004, 11:29:05 am »

But hey, you met me though...

SirPeale · « **Reply #3 on:** November 16, 2004, 11:38:15 am »

Indeed I did! But not at the meet.

I got that monitor working finally. Cap kit and a replaced pot later. Grand total: $20 including parts and gas to pick it up.

Neet! I just cut up the cab yesterday. I'm going to try an put together a cart to tow behind my bike so I can bring home my DDing finds.

Where are you thinking of having it. I live in Ottawa but could drive up for the day. I was just in Stowe, VT a couple of weeks ago.

crashwg · « **Reply #6 on:** November 16, 2004, 03:36:10 pm »

We meet at Funspot then head over to Ed's place (about 5 min away) for some good eats, some beers and a heck of a good time.

Click me for Funspot info

Ed's.....place is closed for the winter ...now what ?

I wouldn't mind going to meet up at funspot though.

Seems like there are a bunch of new people from MA on the boards, maybe they will come.

BTW.....I can't beleive you know the amount of days between the 1st meet and the 2nd...LOL

I'm interested.

sac01 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 16, 2004, 06:53:56 pm »

I'm interested as well...december is crazy month though, might be better off adding another 30 days to that counter and trying for january since it's a 'dead' month.

Bummer dude! Does the whole comunity just up and leave or something? When is Ed's open for buisness again?

As for January... Whatever, this thread was more intended to see what sort of reaction I would get, kinda get a feel for what everyone thinks, ya know. It'll happen when it happens even if that's not untill spring or whatever.

I'm offering to have the after party at my place but be forewarned that I live in an apartment that's not exactly huge, but it's probably big enough for the amount of people that came to the first two meets + a couple more. Oh and seating would probably be a problem too! On the positive side my neighbors that are directly connected aren't realy too bad and probably would be pretty nice about things. Also I live like 2 minutes off of I93 in Concord which is south of Funspot and therefore on the way home for most.

Whatever! Feel free anyone to suggest something else or not I don't care. I'm just bored out of my gourd and a meet up would be fun!

I've gone up a few times the past month or two and could probably make it again.
As long as this time all the games are available for play.

PS crashwg I haven't forgot about the pins you need and I have looked for them. I moved and lots of stuff is still packed. This weekend I'm going to rip open all the boxes in the garage and find them.

crashwg · « **Reply #12 on:** November 16, 2004, 10:39:04 pm »

As long as you don't forget about me I have no gripes. I probably won't be using the restrictors for months now.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2004, 06:31:19 pm »

I wouldn't mind going up in middle of January.

Lets see how many people will come.

Hm...how about a woman on a rowing machine?

The admins took it down. With some prompting they may bring it back. See the site threads for more on that.

As for your new avatar, I liked the old one better. Either that, or use the evil monkey from "Family Guy". The evil monkey is teh r0x0r!!!!1

ChadTower · « **Reply #26 on:** November 24, 2004, 03:40:38 pm »

If you bring that chick I'll be there with a BIG sack of quarters.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #27 on:** November 24, 2004, 04:14:22 pm »

Chad your coming wether he bring the chick or not...even if I have to go down to your house and drag you out ...LOL

BTW....just a reminder you missed the first two!

No .... seriously it would be cool to meet you .

crashwg · « **Reply #29 on:** November 26, 2004, 07:57:09 pm »

It doesn't open until 168 more days

..... May 15th to be exact.

Hey I am sure we could all meet up and do a fairly inexpensive lunch some where near funspot...that is unless chad wants to cook some steak tips at his house ...LOL

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #31 on:** November 27, 2004, 07:17:33 am »

I forgot to mention I plan on placing an order with ultimarc soon anyone need anything. We can save on shipping and then I can give it to you at funspot on the 22nd

Heh... coming to my house would be a bit counterproductive as I live on the RI border, guys. Wrong direction!

SirPeale · « **Reply #33 on:** November 27, 2004, 10:34:21 am »

I merged this and the calendar topic together, as a tracking-thing.

He didn't just come for the steak tips... it's just a good bonus and extremly tasty! Unfortunatly I doubt Chad will be comming this time as he is in Job-Core somewhere 8 hours north of here in Maine.

I'm not too sure it's going to be all that fun if we don't have a place to hang out for a few hours after our gameplay... What does everyone else think? I mean games are fun and all, but I've got 10,000 on my computer already ya know.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #36 on:** November 28, 2004, 08:54:25 am »

I know he didn't only come for the steak tips ...LOL

I agree hanging out for a while is always good but I am sure we can figure something out, once we get a head count

Yeah, we've got a couple of months to prepare for this thing. A hang-out spot shouldn't be too hard to figure out, I'm more worried that the weather could be a little unsavory for the long drive. Fingers crossed!

SirPeale · « **Reply #38 on:** November 28, 2004, 09:36:38 pm »

Yup, in January there's always a chance of snow. Let's play it by ear, and keep track of the weather.

As for another place to hang, I remember a mall not too far away. We had an AGM meet there, and hung out @ the mall to get some food.

crashwg · « **Reply #39 on:** November 28, 2004, 09:47:28 pm »

Was it the outlet mall in Tilton? Steeplegate?
