OK people, tomorrow is December 1st.. Before you know it, we'll be talking about what cool arcade stuff our families bought us for the Holidays. Then, *BLIP* we'll be talking about all of the great New Year's arcade parties that are going on. And then, before you know it, it will be February 2011, Crabtowne time!!

Many people seemed to have enjoyed the Feb meet (CT1) better than the Summer meet (CT2) because it was apparently hot as Satan's sac in that place over the Summer (I was not able to make it so I can't speak either way). But, after reviewing the CT1 thread, it seems everyone enjoyed the Feb gathering. So, this thread is to begin talking about CT3, to be tentatively held on Saturday, February 19th, 2011.

Express your thoughts and interest in attending in this thread. The gathering for 2010 included the following events:

1. gaming (duh)
2. eating
3. on-site swap meet
4. after-party at the Binary Starcade (_Sentient_'s place)

I personally thought that was a nice, simple agenda. The only things I would like to add, if approved by the Council here, would be some type of raffle-door prize-whatever you wanna call it for a decent prize. Maybe a pick of some of the stuff on the swap table. Maybe something provided by RAM Controls or someone who'd like to donate a prize. It's just an idea that I'm throwing out there.

Oryk Zinyo has already said he's not coming out this way (MD) in Feb, so we'll either have to light a candle or pour a 40 in his honor. But the show must go on! This will also be the week after I turn 40 so, I'll accept the following birthday gifts: EDOT (working or not), Omega Race PCB (working for the love of God please!), Dragon's Lair (working or not), Huka Pipe to stay in the "yeah right" mist I'm currently in LOL.

Discuss............ :D

Count me out,place just doesn't hold interest for me anymore since I have been so many times. BUT!! If someone is planning on holding an after party I would be in. Variety is the spice of life.

....my reason for going certainly isn't for the top notch selection of games and atmosphere ... its really just a chance to catch up with everyone... and heck if there is an after gathering that's just gravy :)
 
ok..great! This means Tim isn't holding a grudge for me leaving him behind on rt.40 to fend for himself! :)

No grudges. I was happy Jim had my cell number. This time I wont be drooling over your Tapper, because I am finally getting one. I'll be iching to play some Lunar Lander. You did mention that was working now, right?
 
Should we aim for the 26th? 19th doesn't work for me either.

Also - any for sale/trades, lets post em up!!

I'm only looking for a Tempest Back door, and a color vector power brick. Thats about it for now.
