I am not sure but is this Meetup #5 ?

Long time No hear ...how's everybody doing ?

Just to catch you guys up Dawn and I remodeled our kitchen and bathroom in our house in MA . We just moved in last Friday. Not everything is complete ..I still have some finish carpentry work to do . but no biggie I'll get it done WHENEVER...LOL. I just had to get out of my Mother In laws house ...I was there for 10 months... I am sure you can get the point

Please before I go any further I would like to take the oportunity to personally invite Peale and Chad Tower. I know you guys haven't been able to make any of the other meetups . I hope you'll be able to come this time. We ALL would like to meet you guys

Now having said that I would also like to open it up and invite any newcomers to the event ...both people who are new to the boards or people who have said they would try to make it in the past , but just couldn't. I haven't been on the boards for a while so if you know anyone who might want to come please send them a PM with a link to this thread

I would like to start a emailing list so if you guys would send me your email adresses in a PM

Now as most of you may know I am a Professional DJ ...after my illness and my doctors ok .I went back to work last MAY. I have been rebuilding my business slowly but due to the lack of funds I have been working with 2 entertainment companies as well . I am basically starting all over again. I am working for 2 companies to have some income, so I have to take the jobs when they come

SO when and where is this event going to be ?

As usual at funspot ... http://www.funspotnh.com/index.html

Now as for a date

? read below

I am already booked for the saturady June 3rd during the classic game tournament so that is out . I am also booked for the 17th ...this leaves us with the June 10th or 24th . I wouuld prefer to do it on the 10th to be honest because I am going to a DJ convention in Conneticut on the 26th .

OK so who is coming

Thanks
Ed

Thanks for the invite... saturdays are tough for me since I coach baseball on Saturdays AND I'm going to have football practice on Saturdays once June rolls around.

And heh, ironically enough, Peale and I just hung out on Wednesday at a vendor's show.

One thing I don't understand from your post is the statement that you are doing this to have income. How do you plan on making income off of us?

Or am I misreading that?

My issue is always Funspot. It's a great place and all but it's a 2+ hour drive for me and I do not often have a full weekend day to spend like that.

I think he meant that he's working for the 2 entertainment companies until he gets his own shindig back up and running.

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #3 on:** April 07, 2006, 10:03:11 am »

I'm up for Funspot; I'll have to check my calendar to make sure it doesn't conflict with any weddings, but I think either date should be okay with me.

screaming · « **Reply #4 on:** April 07, 2006, 10:15:55 am »

sah-weet! I'm in for either.. too bad about the classic game tournament though!

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #5 on:** April 07, 2006, 10:17:27 am »

Chad I edited my posting ...I should have proof read it first ...LOL. There is no charge to come to this event

To the newcomers ...in the past I have provided all the meats ..and my guests have pitched in and bought the side dishes. I plan on doing the same. I also provide the soda and other drinks but this is a BYOB event .

Paul I hope you can make it ..you missed the last one

Steve ...cool I hope you can make it as well

Thanks
Ed

Did I? I thought I was there and my ~~shitbox~~ car decided it wouldn't go into gear when I tried to leave the next day. Was there another meetup later in the summer?

You can add my email to the mailing list, it's joymonkey@gmail.com

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #8 on:** April 07, 2006, 10:31:54 am »

There was one in August were you there ?

Teknique · « **Reply #9 on:** April 07, 2006, 10:36:29 am »

Ed-

Good to hear from ya! I'll be in Alton most weekends in June anyway so all the weekends are good. June 10th starts Bike Week as an FYI. I will be there with my bike but I know you have said in the past that bike week is the only week that you don't go up....and frankly traffic is not good up there specifically on the roads leading from Funspot to your house.

Other than that I will be around and will be entering the tournament again this year.

Then why have I been paying you to hang out with me?

mrC

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #11 on:** April 07, 2006, 10:52:10 am »

Heh. Anyhow, I'm up for another meeting. My schedule is still extremely flexible, so I'm cool with whatever date.

Does anyone think we could fit some boating in

, or will it remain strictly arcade/beer/Bar-B-Q?

mrC

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #12 on:** April 07, 2006, 11:08:11 am »

Teknique...good point

Ok the date can either be May 27th or June 24th

As for boating it may be too cold at this meetin maybe we can do boating at the 6th meeeting in the August

Don't forget to chime in on that other thread ...dave this means you,

Just my 2 cents
Ed

crashwg · « **Reply #13 on:** April 07, 2006, 03:41:58 pm »

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #14 on:** April 09, 2006, 08:24:18 am »

Good to hear from all of you ...hope to hear from so more of the guys hear on the boards...I sent PMs to everyone who responded in the last get together thread

Later

Hi all and thanks for the invite Ed. June is a tough month for me this year and the only date that works is June 24th. I made it up to the meet this past August, but since I got there late and had no idea what any forum members looked like, I didn't get a chance to meet anyone.

This time, we'll be sure to pass out cell phone numbers beforehand.

Good thing...I was in the same boat as this guy.

All right... The SkyShow is on a Sunday this year I guess so I'm up for any date!

Hey guys,

Sorry I've been MIA from the boards. Work has been crazy so I don't have time to visit the site anymore.

FYI May 27th is a holiday weekend (memorial day) so it might be busy but it doesn't bother me.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #24 on:** May 08, 2006, 03:40:24 pm »

Ok so let's go with June 24th

RecycledPast · « **Reply #25 on:** May 19, 2006, 11:56:56 am »

I'm going to a party in Maine that day and it looks too far for me to try and do both. $:-\$

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #26 on:** May 31, 2006, 03:42:29 pm »

COME ONE COME ALL THE N.E.G.T. #5 IS June 24TH

Recycled-Past (Jason) is out ...sorry to hear that

Thanks

Hopefully just myself and Lee-Ann will be comming but that will depend on Lee-Ann's mother babysitting the kids... As usual, if #1Chad decides to go we will provide a ride also.

SirPeale · « **Reply #31 on:** June 02, 2006, 06:33:46 pm »

I *think* we're in...I think we should pass around cell phone numbers and/or pictures of each other. I don't want a repeat of last trip.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #32 on:** June 03, 2006, 07:10:49 pm »

crashwg ...LOL I didn't realize I did that

Peale ...I hope you can make it there are some pics. in this thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,20170.0.html

I'll see if I can post some soon and YES I will give out all my numbers

crashwg · « **Reply #33 on:** June 03, 2006, 07:57:14 pm »

Why doesn't everyone just get there at the time specified and meet by the flagpole? There's no doubt as to who the arcade geeks are then...

Just messin with you Peale. I know how things don't often work out as planned.

Ed ONeill · « **Reply #34 on:** June 07, 2006, 07:48:27 am »
