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.

I voted for Nov 20th, but any day works except Oct 24 and Oct 31.

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!
-
make it official and count me in.

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.

What, so yer callin us old!?!?
Damned kids these days, no respect. :-)

Sorry sir :-p
I was just messing around anyway, I've been called old a lot recently with my upcoming 21st birthday... stupid younger friends....
-
...hey maybe us older guys should star a BYOW (build your own Walker)....we can add in a 5" flat screen with mame on the front....hmmm......
-
WHAT?! EH!? Can you please speak closer to my ear?
-
heh, look what I started ;)
Only problem is where would you get the power from the walker? I say we make it one of those Jazzy scooters.....
-
....do you realize how many "D" batteries you can fit into the frame of a walker son?......I could power a Pentium 4 for a week! :o

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 ;)

so the NJ meet is in NY.. ok. guess im out then
-
wonder why this thread was moved but the Chigagoland BYOC meet did not ? Hmmm......
Are we all set for this date 11/20 ?
-
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
MameMaster!

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.

Where's the fun in the meet then? heh :P

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.

I live in Sunset Park, next to Bay Ridge.
I would also like to attend.

Who else want to come ?
-
...thanks goodness the average age appears to be 35/36 of this get together....maybe we should all wear acid wash jeans?...... ;D
-
hey, I used to live in sunset park. 6th ave and 40th street, to be exact. I live in cobble hill now.
not sure I can make it...this is at a mall, right? I need to have something to sell my girlfriend on the idea :)
-
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?
-
ok, you losers missed out ;D.
I guess you can count on Thenasty and Mamemaster on the next get together. This two bad dudes ROCKS ! ! ! :o
Dedicated to the end even if the world is just about to end. No RAIN, Snow, TORNADO, TRAFFIC, is gonna stop us. BRING IT ON ! ! ;)
Here is MameMaster rocking/cooking on the Space Invader/Qix Combo.
-
Here is the only and the only NASTY aka Thenasty :o
rocking/cooking on Ms.Pac/Galaga combo.
This 2 bad dudes didn't have a missile command/centipede/bowling in thier blood (except for alcohol) to get rocking/cooking with it.
-
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.
