ARCADE PARTY! (Tentatively) Saturday, August 21st - DC Area

Hey,

Sorry for the late-ish notice, but I'm looking to finally have an arcade party. I'm thinking Saturday August 21st. I'm looking for input on whether this is a good weekend or not. I'll be out of town on the 28th, so if the 21st is bad... how's Sept. 4?

Everyone's welcome, though as you know... conversation, language, music, etc can (and likely will) be inappropriate for some, so use common sense on who you bring if anyone's sensitive/impressionable to bad behavior. I plan on inviting friends from work as well, so there will be some non collectors there as well... so don't worry about whether they're forum members or anything. If they'll have a good time, bring them.

I'm in Manassas Park, VA (20111) if you want to see where I'm at... it's about 30 miles west of DC. Once the date is official, I'll PM my address to anyone planning on coming. I plan on ordering pizza, so I'll need an approximate count as well.

I'm thinking of starting the party around noon... and if anyone is interested, I'm considering a game repair "party" starting a few hours earlier. I can set up a spot in the garage for anyone to bring stuff to work on, and help each other troubleshoot/repair, or just learn some basics.

BTW, here's pics if you haven't seen them already: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=144972 .

I've been arcading-it for the past few weeks, chewing up valuable weekend time... otherwise I would be there... I would love to help with re-work/repairs!
 
I have been waiting for this day ever since I saw the pics of your completion DogP!!! I am definately there in full effect!! Should we bring anything with us to contribute, food drink wise etc??
 
I've had DogP at my house arcade, and trust me, things WILL get inappropriate if he has anything to say about it...Cussin', drinkin', all sorts of inappropriate type arcade behavior. :)

Just joking!

Pat's real cool and I would be there if not for being on the other side of the country.
 
I think this would be awesome... Your arcade rocks!

Anyone interested in doing a cap kit? My main rig is down so im not sure which monitor it is. It the default one with a pole position. Masu something... It has shit in the name that for sure.
 
Sounds good... Aug 21st it is! N00bs welcome, and Brent... get a plane ticket, I'll pick you up at the airport ;) . I'll have soda (especially Cherry Coke) and pizza... if anyone wants alcohol, you should probably bring it (or you can rummage through my fridge, but I hardly drink, so there's probably just some nasty beer that someone else left behind :p ).

And yeah... I'll plan on turning the arcade on at noon, having pizza by 1, but if anyone wants to come between 9 and 12, we can work on fixing whatever stuff you want to bring.

Cool. I'm definately trying to go. With the Q-Bert machine I might even be able to talk the Mrs. into rolling with me.
 
I will be there and cant wait to check out your arcade!
I will pm you to see what I can bring food etc....

I'll be PMing the address/phone # to everyone who said they'd like to come... I made an invite that I'll be emailing to some friends, but I figured I'd post here as well.
