I have a feeling this is going to be a MameMaster/Mr. Nasty BYOAC chapter!  ;)

West Nyack NY for the NJ get together  ;D

I rented a car in West Nyack once.  I think it took 2 hours just to get back home.  That's definitely a Northern NJ location.  Cool that you are doing it though.

I'm a PA guy that is interested in a meet, and willing to travel a bit, but not to NY. Count me out for this one. I'll wait for the South Jersey guys.

Mr. Nasty; Santoro it looks like 11/20 may be a winner because personally I'm flexible.

What do you say we make that the "official" date...and now see who else can make it.

...wow...to think I could hang out with the father of the Mame /BYOAC token and the father of the Nasty Spinner! (I'll bring my camera!  :o )

MameMaster!

That's only about 45 minutes from me, so assuming school doesn't get in the way, and assuming you guys don't mind a relative young'un tagging along (I'm only 20), I could probably make it.  I'd think my girlfriend would tag along as well, at the very least so she could go shopping  ::)

Put me down as a tentative attendee, I'll just have to be sure I'm not bogged down with school work seeing as that's towards the end of the semester.

Only problem is where would you get the power from the walker?  I say we make it one of those Jazzy scooters.....

But can you imagine the COST of filling up that walker with D batteries?  Not to mention moving the damn thing after its loaded down with those batteries ;)

As far as I can tell it's just you, me and Dave (the FATHER of the MAME Token!)......

....that's fine with me!....we'll have lunch; BS over some old school gaming at Dave and Busters; raid EB and Best Buy......joy oh joy. My wife hates all of this so it will be fun to have at least two of you who can understand me!

I listed times/dates as the top of this thread if others wish to join us.

I wonder if Dave will bring any autographed tokens for us????  :o

I would add NY to the subject- maybe some in NY have ignored the thread because is says NJ...  It would be cool to get a few more folks.

well i live on eastern LI, and it is about an hour thirty for my to get there (according to mapquest) so maybe I'd go.  Although I am not as voracious a poster as some of you, I still love MAME!

If there are others on LI I would be more than happy to car pool. so if you need a ride post here.

Hey gang.

I had a 'Sev 1' network outage at the office today - my pager went off as I was getting in the car to go to this.  I was on the phone for four hours.

I am really sorry I could not make it.  I was really looking forward to it.

How did it go? Anyone take pictures?

Hey Mr. Nasty!....it was a fun get together even though only the two of us were brave enough to go out to the mall....I guess it was too chilly/drizzley for the others.

Your cab is fantastic.....and you gave me the inspiration to finally take apart my PC and mount it into my cocktail. I've begun...and so far she still boots......horray!

I say we try this again perhaps after the holidays at this point.
