SoCal "Left out of CAX" game night, Saturday July 17th

Hi Guys,

This is an invite for those left behind in SoCal this CAX weekend, to come over and play some games. I'm guessing that amounts to a grand total of about 3 of us, lol. Everyone is up there it seems! I apologize for the short notice.

Anyways, all this talk of CAX games has me itching to play and talk about games, but its no fun doing so alone. I told my wife about my sad, non-CAX existence and even though our son's birthday bash is the next day, she's letting me have some people over this Saturday night, if I can find any. Kinda has me rethinking her SiniSara nickname, lol. Anyone up for this? If so, how does 5pm-11pm sound? I live in Garden Grove, about 45 mins from LA and Riverside, an hour from pasadena and about an hour and a half from San Diego.

I'll provide the sodas. Everyone is on their own for food. We could throw in for pizza or there is a nice thai restaurant across the street.

10 games in my signature will not be present because they are either currently residing at vintagearcadesuperstore for restoration or are awaiting delivery. A bummer, but at least the garage won't be super cramped. They will make for a fun future meet when they return.

The games I can offer to play are:

Afterburner deluxe, Assault, Asteroids Deluxe, Battlezone, Burgertime, Crazy Climber, Crystal Castles, Dragon's Lair, Gorf, Marble Madness, Millipede, Punchout, Rampart 3P, Sinistar, SmashTV, Warlords 4P, (3) japanese candy cabs and a boatload of pcbs which can be seen on my vaps link. Should be more than enough to keep us busy.

Please drop me a pm or call 714-588-4247 if you are interested in playing some games!

The crew:
1. Fatherpain aka Droid (shmups)
2. Frenetic (shmups)
3. DewmanSNK (shmups)
4. MikeHaggar + 2 buds (shmups)
5. Shuurin (shmups)
6. Parrothead (klov yeah baby!)
7. MagicMajenta (shmups)
8.
9.
10.

Thanks,
Tom

Thanks for putting this together Tom. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make the drive out that direction as I'll have my baby with me. I have no idea what our schedule is going to be like once we get there either. If I don't see you, I hope it's a lot of fun! :)
 
Thanks man. Totally understand the demands of fatherhood, I imagine my 3 and 6 year olds will be poking around on gamenight, if anyone shows up lol. Its an open invite, so if anything changes last minute give me a ring :D

bump! Despite my attempt at humor, this is not gonna be some pity meet, well ok who am I kidding? lol. Definitely some good gaming to be had though. My friend Frenetic from shmups.com is a hardcore classics player. Hopefully we scrounge up enough interest for some 3P rampart as well as 4P warlords. All games on hand work 100%.

In all seriousness, if anyone local is around, you ought to go. Tom is a great host and he has some awesome games in great condition. A great runner-up to CAX for sure.

Is the Tempest going to be part?

Might need a favor and ask you to test my Tempest boardset......
 
Bump for Tom... Too bad I'll be in "c" control till 10:30. Damned swing shift. I'll be powering this event for you guys :)
 
yeah..sucks that you have to work that night Stuffmonger...ya know this is what sick days are for man!

Alas...my KLOV brethren are failing me...alot of views, a couple comments and some ribbing from those who have CAX in their lives...but no takers so far ....Do the CAX-less of SoCal prefer to lament missing out on the gaming goodness taking place in San Jose alone? Not me!! Let's unite and play some 3 player Rampart or 4 Player Warlords or cruise the skies in the Afterburner Deluxe Cockpit! Ive also got a boatload of pcbs such as Berzerk, Robotron, Tapper, Joust, etc. that we can throw into in the Candy Cabs. Thankfully several dudes over at www.shmups.com are gonna make it over, so the gaming crew Saturday night isn't just gonna consist of me, myself and I :D

Still holding out hope for some SoCal KLOV gamers to join us, its gonna be fun!

My god it's frigging hot today :(
dunno if this generates interest... But it's so hot, this may be the first game night where we're gonna have to play in the buff just to keep cool! Kidding aside, it does appear to get better around 630 Ish temp wise but it's still gonna be warm tonite. Hope a
few of you klover's are brave enough to venture into hell!

Tom
 
Sorry I couldn't make it :(

I sold one of my cars today and the dealing ran into the late afternoon, will have to get over that way for the next one.
 
Thanks for hosting a great party tonight, Tom.

Had a great time. Loved your game selection too, especially your killer amusement park ride, er I mean After Burner - that thing is insane :) Also loved playing Assault for the first time. What a great game! It was great meeting the guys from SHMUPS too :)

Sorry I didn't make it - I was entertaining company from out of town. Namely, mom.

Let us know when you plan on having another one, though!
