Not me. Crowded places + roped off games + Family + Newborn = pissed off wife, bored kids, and tired adults who are chasing around the bored kids.

He's not far off from my opinion, though I haven't straight ruled it out yet. My kids are older than his.

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #164 on:** April 13, 2005, 11:20:34 am »

Just fyi, hanging out afterward is often more fun than the arcade games...so don't knock it 'till y'a tried it.

Although, everything Peale outlined is exactly why I don't want kids yet.

Ok just to remind everyone...

Last year I got some coupons for everyone and we paid 12 cents per token

If you sign up for the tournament
It's $30 and you get 200 tokens FREE..that breaks down to almost the

I can prove it last year we all played a linked up racing game...8 seats 8 guys racing against each other....damn pink car...LOL

If I had known that my Daytona skills (or lack of) would cause you so much mental anguish, I would have let you pass me and not slam you into the side of the track like that

Im in... btw, it was not crowded at all last year in the tournament section of Funspot- in fact there were not a million kids running around so it was a pleasant expereince playing the classics.

Don't forget the smokehouse afterwards- holy crap Im ready for some Jeager!

Jagermeister? Sweet Jesus, that just brought back a flood of memories! Jen and I had a few more beers in the Naswa bar after you dropped us off and I do believe that we were absolutely twisted! For some reason they don't let you take your drinks back to your room

Here's another drunk photo from the Smokehouse last year. I can't tell if you're delighted about the drink arriving or staring at the waitresses boobs.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #181 on:** May 14, 2005, 05:44:57 pm »

I'm a maybe.
But the wife can't make it and I can't afford a hotel right now. Is there any room on the couch for the night?
I got a car so I'd be able to drive anyone up from the Boston area, could probably swing by and pick up CrashWG, but I'd be staying the night (hopefully maybe).

Oh yeah, it's Saturday June 4th, right?

Teknique · « **Reply #182 on:** May 16, 2005, 07:09:09 am »

Unless I can find coverage between now and then, I'm working Saturday the 4th in the morning (the benefits of being management) - but will be coming up afterwards. Worst case, my ETA to area is gonna be 5pm.

I am a definate.

Watch out JoyMokey....Ed likes to spoon!

Seriously though, me, Ed and Recycled-Past stayed two nights in a row there and it was nice. Plenty of room and Recycled makes a killer Omelette! This year, just for the hell of it - weather permitting - I may pitch a tent at a campground and stay the whole weekend up there with my girlfriend.

ChadTower · « **Reply #185 on:** May 17, 2005, 12:10:49 pm »

Judging from this thread, you were probably pitching a tent the whole time you were at Ed's anyway...

~~I'm a maybe. I can't afford a hotel room so I'll either drive up for the day or find a camping site.~~

~~I'll be bringing my wife.~~

I'm in and I'll be bringing my friend Chris.

screaming · « **Reply #187 on:** May 19, 2005, 05:30:49 pm »

I'm going to be staying at the Tamworth campground with a couple friends that weekend. It's about an hour's drive or so away, but if you're looking to save a couple bucks on renting a full campsite I'm sure we could find some room.

...And don't worry - I don't spoon, I fork. (HA! I kill me..

I'm in so. But I'm not reading Chad a bedtime story.

It's a shame my wife can't make it this time, I have her completely geeked. Last night I updated my cocktail machine from Mame 0.67 to 0.80 while she was out, then when she played it she asked if I'd updated Mame because the sound in Galaga seemed different! She was looking forward to entering the womens contest too.

Anyone need a lift from the Boston area?

ChadTower · « **Reply #196 on:** May 26, 2005, 09:57:51 am »

The Christening is in Ipswich, which means I'd be better off driving myself to NH and then meeting my wife and kids there the next day... thanks for the offer, though.
