Works for me. I'll probly be there near 1100, unless I'm stopping at your pad before-hand, Tetsu.

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #41 on:** April 26, 2007, 11:22:27 pm »

Wow, dunno how I kept missing this thread, but I'd definitely be interested in being there. The 19th should work for me.

For a Valley newbie - is this the outlandish looking Minigolf place on the west side of 17?

Goz · « **Reply #42 on:** April 27, 2007, 09:23:11 am »

As long as work doesn't send me out of the country I'll be there. Unfortunately I only know 2 weeks in advance.

tetsu96 · « **Reply #43 on:** April 27, 2007, 06:15:06 pm »

Cool all. Then 5/19 it is We'll start around 11-ish and we'll see how it goes.

Short - I'm good for before or afterwards so give me a call to set up the pad visit.

Z - yes, it's the big place on the west side of 17. I don't remember golf but I wouldn't be suprised (should see roller coasters from the highway if it's the same place). I haven't been there yet but the arcade portion can't be too hard to find.

Goz · « **Reply #44 on:** April 27, 2007, 09:38:23 pm »

Yeah Castles and Coasters has 4 mini golf courses.

That's a whole lotta mini golf.

shorthair · « **Reply #46 on:** April 28, 2007, 02:01:37 am »

Four courses, holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. Groovy. I'll give a nod to releasedtruth and marlborrowman (I used to smoke those, you'd think I'd remember how to spell it...) as they may've forgotten about this. Tetsu: will do.

AMDman13 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 28, 2007, 09:39:54 pm »

somunny, you know I will be there anytime and any place. Congrats on the baby my man! Your cathing up with me! I think we should all bring in a couple pic's of our cab's, so that we can all talk shop and get future ideas etc..

Heh, just like a bunch of dads showing off their baby pictures...

(yeah, I'm geeky enough to do that if everyone else is...)

Silly q for the group - should we grab a table and put a BYOAC get together sign or similar up there? I don't know how busy it will be (or if it's food tables and eating in the arcade [portion though usually it is in places like this), but tapping everyone on the shoulder is probably not that efficient for the meetup. I can have the female half watch the kids by there (and bring spouses / kids / etc encouraged).

.....being single, I imagined a boys-only thing. But, okay. If you're bringing family along, you might as well get a couple tables - not sure if that'll require a reservation - and definitely put a sign up.

AMDman13 · « **Reply #50 on:** May 01, 2007, 01:21:46 am »

However it all goes down I would be up for this. Maybe we can plan a later Gamers type meet. I'm always more game to talk after a few beers.

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #51 on:** May 02, 2007, 01:24:25 am »

I just checked out the calendar on their website - says there is a private party on the 19th, and no rides until 1:00. Anyone know if this will affect the arcade?

shorthair · « **Reply #52 on:** May 04, 2007, 02:21:15 am »

I sent 'em a message, though anyone who's more local can call if they want.

Goz · « **Reply #53 on:** May 04, 2007, 12:13:52 pm »

If you look at their calendar there is typically a private party that effects the rides being open. However it doesn't effect the arcade. At least it hasn't in the past.

<edit>
I went there yesterday and walked right into the arcade.

shorthair · « **Reply #54 on:** May 08, 2007, 01:23:20 am »

And did you ask 'em about the 19th?

CheffoJeffo · « **Reply #55 on:** May 09, 2007, 04:37:31 pm »

Is this still on for the 19th ?

horseboy · « **Reply #56 on:** May 09, 2007, 05:06:04 pm »

What about the 19th?

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #57 on:** May 09, 2007, 06:31:37 pm »

Still on - At least I'll be there around 11am.

--cream-filled twinkie--.... it doesn't matter. Only the rides and golf are closed for their private party.

I'll show around 11ish too. Don't know the layout of the arcade, nor visibility or rules putting the signs up, but you and I should probably put something on the table we congregate at. Either that, or the secret nod / token flash that only we BYOAC'ers can pull off...

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #60 on:** May 10, 2007, 06:58:05 pm »

In true Arcadecontrols.com fashion, I'll have my BYOAC hat on.

shorthair · « **Reply #61 on:** May 10, 2007, 10:38:06 pm »

That reminds me, I need to finish my special game shirt.

somunny · « **Reply #62 on:** May 11, 2007, 06:26:32 pm »

I'll be there at noon or very soon after.

somunny · « **Reply #63 on:** May 18, 2007, 01:36:53 pm »

Is this still on for tomorrow?

shorthair · « **Reply #64 on:** May 18, 2007, 03:35:13 pm »

Far as I know. I'll be there.

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #65 on:** May 19, 2007, 03:20:16 am »

Same here.

tetsu96 · « **Reply #66 on:** May 19, 2007, 11:54:59 am »

Yeppers, you'll see me too. No BYOAC hat though, so you'll be guessing a bit.

somunny · « **Reply #67 on:** May 19, 2007, 12:40:20 pm »

I'll be wearing a bright green shirt with some Marvel Superheroes on it. Yeah, I'm a geek.

somunny · « **Reply #68 on:** May 20, 2007, 01:26:30 am »

Thanks for making the trip today, guys! It was great meeting everone.

tetsu96 · « **Reply #69 on:** May 20, 2007, 04:07:51 am »

Was definitely cool meeting the local BYOAC p33pz firsthand. We should do it again sometime.

Zero_Hour · « **Reply #70 on:** May 20, 2007, 04:30:14 am »

Good times. Definitely hope we can do this again.

shorthair · « **Reply #71 on:** May 22, 2007, 01:25:27 am »

Yeah, it was cool to meet up an all - though I think the arcade brought it down a notch. Place was too loud, the games were turned down (even the pins!)...and I prefer a larger monitor than on those older games. Was neat seeing the original hardware perform, though.

What happened to Goz and mm13?

(By the way, Goz, they wadn't open till one. Good thing I wasn't there early.)

somunny · « **Reply #72 on:** May 22, 2007, 06:31:54 pm »

I'm game for hosting a get-together next time. I have one full size mame cab and one 3/4 scale. Plus an XBOX 360 and a Wii on the big screen. No pins though.

Yeah my wife busted my balls that day and I couldn't make it. I did branch out later that evening though and made it to the Golfland in Mesa which has a respectible arcade. Lots of variation from newer machine with behemoth monitors to classics and a small row of pins. What I liked best was because I didnt hit the arcade until late at night it was all you can play for $8.

I will make it to the next one. Can prolly drag in2ishUn/Boz along too since he's another Phoenician.

Oh and Shorty according to the fine folks at C&C its normal for the arcade to be open to the public during private parties, However you may need to use the side / back entrance.

Goz · « **Reply #74 on:** May 23, 2007, 11:29:03 am »

I'd also be game for possibly hosting but my house is in Maricopa (20 mins from Chandler). I currently have 3 candy cabs (Atomiswave, Neo-geo, NAOMI2, Multi 48 in 1, 465 in 1 Shmup,173 in 1 boards, and a Dreamcast in one cab), X360, PS3, XBOX all projected in HD on a 110" screen. I might even have some pins by then. Pool table and some other goodies as well.

shorthair · « **Reply #75 on:** May 23, 2007, 05:30:12 pm »

Goz: they weren't that day - as those who were there early had to sit through. I should've called as they didn't answer their message page.

Not a competition thing Steve, just putting it out there as an option.

shorthair · « **Reply #78 on:** May 24, 2007, 01:53:02 pm »

I think he just meant 'wow, yeah'. I don't know when I'll be making it up that way, again, so go ahead and figure out whatever.

Precisely! Maybe it came across wrong. Hell, I'd watch 'The View' on a 110" screen!
