Also anyone going to Katsucon?

Hey all... figured it was about time I stuck my head out and explained my absence.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself last time we did this (despite being deathly ill) and greatly look forward to doing it again. Originally, I had talked about holding the next one around this time but the fates have conspired against me. Between my personal life and some other responsibilities, I never really had a chance to coordinate a time and a place to get it done. If there's anyone on the board who lives on their own in the DC/MD/VA area and wouldn't mind hosting 10-15 forum hounds, I'd be happy to help in whatever way I can. I can be contacted by e-mail at ggrant@gmu.edu, Zangulus100Proof on AIM, or Zang100Proof on YIM.

However, until I move in to a bigger place (or get lucky and have my parents go away for a weekend like last time, which they rarely do), it's unlikely I'll be able to host any more get-togethers for a while.

And no, no Katsucon for me. Haven't been to a convention in 4 years now.

I live in NYC and have a small Apartment. I should be moving soon, so who knows? It will still be a small Apartment, though. I could host maybe 5 people...

And people would have to bring stuff. Here's what I got -

TV Screen -

I'm not much for bigger is better, sadly. I got a small GX TV from Samsung, but it's the best Damn Video Game Playing TV ever. I blew out one of it's Speakers, but I usually hook it up to my Stereo Speakers and blow out my eardrums.

Systems -

I have a Dreamcast, a Modded Saturn, a PS2, (Can't play Japanese Games, only on my Saturn) a GBA, a GBA SP, and a Neo Geo Pocket.

Games - I pretty much have every Capcom 2D Fighter, Minus old stuff like Cyberbots and Warzard. I have Guilty Gear X2. I'm not much on SNK, so people will have to bring SNK Games. I have KOF '99. ('98 in Japan.) For the Neo Geo Pocket, I have a bunch of those games including MOTM, Card Fighters Clash, Samsho, KOF and Gal Fighters. No Link Cable though. I have lots of GBA Games too.

Joysticks - I have Three Arcade Sticks for PS2 (Including the MAS Stick), The Handheld CVS2 Stick for PS2, 2 Arcade Sticks for Saturn and at least 2 Handheld joysticks for every system.

Still wouldn't be able to do a party right now. I'm going to look at an Apartment on Saturday, so I may be moving very soon, and IF we time the party just right before all my major Furniture is moved in, maybe I could fit lots more people. Let's see... If you guys are willing to come to Queens in NYC, that is.

We did the first one last year and it was pretty fun so I think people wanted to get together sooner than a full year later.

Somewhere on the East Coast. Last time we had in in Northern Virginia which worked out well for me. Can't speak for others though.

I hope you all keep doing these things cause in a year or two I should be able to actually attend one. I'd love to meet some of you. Take some pictures if you do one this year.

Would you mind extrapolating on this, Juan? Rent what kind of place?

Like a hotel room or some place that hosts stuff like lan parties.

I seen people use the hotel room here during one of the only conventions they had a while back, it seemed to work ok.

Hmmm... well, I have no problem with the idea so long as those who would be attending don't have a problem with it. I have friends who work for several different hotel chains, so I could most certainly get cheap rooms at decent hotels.

It would almost be like a convention... ;)

Thoughts, comments?

It'd be fine by me, but we might have to pool our money beforehand. It would suck if the person organizing it got stuck with the bill.

It would be kinda cool, like a real convention as you said.

Edit: Also we might have to bring an extra TV/surge protector since most rooms only have 1 tv set.

Well, if I were the organizer (which would be fairly likely given the history of this thing), I would most definitely get people to pay for it up front. However, if we have 10-15 people come like last time, it would be cheap anyways (I would wager $10-$15 a person).

I would probably get two conjoined rooms, move as much of the furniture as possible, and set up 3 or 4 TVs. Trust me... I have plenty of surge protectors and all the other necessary items. Of course, this would all depend on how many people were coming and the setup of rooms and what not.

No it's from Kucinich's website, where all the woodland animals wanted to vote for him. I just thought it was kinda amusing, especially the caucus pun.

I haven't actually read Alice in Wonderland so could you explain what you thought it was? If this is a reference to that, it makes it that much more awesome.

Actually, it was my brain playing tricks on me. I thought it might have been a reference to the caucus race with all the birds, but there was no crow involved, contrary to my memories.

Alrighty then... I'm gonna go create another thread to gauge interest. We can officially let this thread expire now. :)

Ahh, ok. It'd be a great tie in if there was.
