possible arcade party Rocklin CA. want feedback

Late to this thread...

Still planing something for after PAGG? The last party was great - such a great collection of games as well!

The party has officially been moved to the 21st. Partially to give me more time to get things together and partially because most folks who got back to me on this interest thread were either not gonna be able to attend pin a go go or just were not interested in attending pin a go go for some reason. So now the party is officially on for Sat May 21st. I planned on posting an official confirmation thread with details like party start time etc i just got delayed a bit. Was actually gonna post the thread tonight when I happen upon this old one.

I'm in!

Hey Dan,

Ok - the 21st should work for me also.

What hours are you planning to have it during?

Thanks!

Ok let's make this official.

The party is a definite go for Saturday May 21st

Start time is 4pm until whenever

I will be providing sodas and water and some beer. The plan is to have food of some sort but that is not yet determined weather we will Bar B Q or if we will do something like pizza. Either way if folks can throw a few bucks in for that it would be appreciated although not necessary. As far as alcohol, I'm not planning on stocking up like it's a frat party so if you want something specific or plan on drinking a case to yourself then plan on bringing your favorite drink of choice.

Nothing against kids but I expect this to be an adult party. Not like it's gonna get out of hand but expect there to be drinking and guy talk so it's probably advisable to leave the kids at home or if you happen to be local and want to bring the kids by contact me and we can probably arrange a time either before the party officially kicks off or early in the evening.

I'm sure there's info I haven't covered so feel free to ask

Please PM me for address and contact info.

Thanks, Dan

Will anyone that's coming be able to do a G07 tube swap tutorial? I really want to learn how to do it, plus I've got one that needs a new tube. :p I would need a donor tube though...

If you find a source for a donor let me know too! There's a place near me that recycles 100's of old TV's every week but they throw them in a giant box and it's really hard to get to them to see if any are the right models.
 
Dan I was thinking of bringing over the pac board with 96 in 1 kit I just picked up to test. Think I could do that this night?


bump
 
just want to bump this since it's this Saturday.

Also was thinking if anyone has a wish list of parts or whatever they may be looking for you might want to put it out there for others that may be coming to the party or stuff I may have. Maybe some of us can work some deals and save on shipping. Who knows.

I have a thread of trade games available in this thread: http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=183623&page=3

I added some Defender boards and some VS boards and some pics. I also have a non working Space invaders boardset. I have a vectrex to trade or sell.

I need a 4p konami CP with or without controllers. I am also always looking for controllers. If anyone has a spare punchout knockout button, let me know.
 
bumping this up.
I may work until 4pm or so, then I gotta drive home, check in with the kids, pick up some stuff and head over.

for the record I am bringing:
SH cp for pcolson
roadblasters yoke for gregatron
my 96 in 1 pac board to test

If I owe anybody anything that is coming give me a reminder on here so I can haul it over.
 
So how was this big party? Did you have a good turn out? Or is it still going on? :)

Pics?

I think it went well and hopefully folks had fun. I think 6 of us kept going until around 4 in the morning. Dropped one friend off at the airport a while ago and 3 are still asleep. Think I slept two hours. As usual there were probably things I could have organized better and of course there were a few games that began having issues but most held up. Don't know if any pics were taken. I thought about it but got distracted and it never happen.
 
It was a lot of fun. I got back to Reno at 4am. I kinda wish I would have stayed longer, but I think I may actually get something done today since I left. :)

I was introduced to Sinistar and The End, and both are really fun games.

Thanks for throwing the party Dan! It was great to play some games and BS with all of you who are just as insane about these games as I am. I really wish I would have remembered to take some pics of your house. That is an impressive sight!
 
I wish I could have made it.
I had to go to a bowling banquet that night.
At least I made enough money to get new tires for my car.:)
 
This is the only pic I have:
