[Brushfire]

Hey, I got some friends who want to come, is that all good?

Don't lie, we're your only friends.

Hey, I got some friends who want to come, is that all good?

But of course! How many?

[Katsurugi]

I will try to make it as long as my arrangements work out for me. That is all.

Katsurugi out.

End communication.

[Brushfire]

But of course! How many?

It be my wife and three service bros. Is that too much?

[Epicenter]

I'll be there if I'm welcome! Thanks for the invite, Brushfire.

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm Epicenter, a long-time OCR-goer but first time poster. Some of you probably know me from OatmealCon-- er Otakon 09 and the listening party. Thanks for giving me a good excuse to get the hell out of Jersey for a weekend.

Shall I bring the vintage games? I picked up such a ridiculous assortment of retro Japanese games/systems when I was stationed there, I may as well share.

Also willing to bring food. I can cook just about whatever anybody wants, so ideas are welcome.

[Jillian Aversa]

Thanks for offering! I think Andy and I will just take care of the food ourselves, though; assuming we're all meeting in the city first, you don't want to have to be carrying around a buttload of stuff. ^_~

We'll probably do what we normally do and ask everyone to chip in a few bucks (estimating $3-5) to help cover BBQ costs. :>

[Brushfire]

Dang, it makes me sad that ya'll don't want to see the glory that is the Famicom Disk System. Oh well.

[Ninja-san]

I can't go ):

It's the last day of a big framing sale and I can't get off.

Have fun!

[Palpable]

Diotrans and I are gonna have to pass too, I'm afraid. There's just too much going on in September. Have fun everybody!

[Jillian Aversa]

Sorry to hear all you guys won't be able to make it! Next time...

[Kizyr]

Aw man, I'd definitely be up for going all the way up to Philly if it were another weekend. That day's the day before a major holiday, so... I'm going to be occupied that weekend. Sorry.

Maybe another time. Last time I went up to Philadelphia it turned out to be a lot closer than I thought--just 3 hours or so (I could also pick up anyone along the way from DC to there). KF

I've been looking forward to this meet up since before it was announced. Which, basically, means I look forward to it every year!

[Brushfire]

So not only do I need to bring arcade money, gas money, stripper money, and a house warming gift, now I have to bring 5 bux too?

OUTRAGEOUS!!

UNHEARD OF!!

RANDOM EXCLAMATION OF DISGUST!!

I'LL DO IT!!

[Kinslayer]

Damn, if I lived anywhere near Pennsylvania, I'd love to go to one of these meetups...if only they'd do one here in Texas.

[Katsurugi]

Update:

I wasn't too sure if I should edit my last post or make a new one. In any case, I think that I will be able to show up for the meetup. I might have to leave around 7-ish or so. I'll bring my camera and hopefully take some good pictures. If anything should happen, I think I have zircon's number still from the last Philly meetup so I'll let him know.

[Brushfire]

So have we picked a place we are gonna meetup at?

My GPS is armed and ready.

[Epicenter]

I am intrigued by this "arcade" prospect. I haven't been to a quality arcade since Japan and Brush, I doubt you have been either.

Btw still offering to make beef barayaki for everybody provided youse guys can get some top round beefs and freeze it and I can bring all the other essentials in de car. (Brush insisted)

[DestheBard]

Is anyone invited or just remixers? I am kind of a newb to all this but am a huge fan and would love to meet up but I don't wanna look like a fool.

of course everyone is invited! otherwise it'd be what, three people? that's not much of a meet-up

[DestheBard]

That's awesome... now I just have to convince the wife hehe. Bryn Mawr is not to far is there anywhere I can get the address or are we meeting somewhere in particular?

[Salluz]

You know, I really might be able to make it.

[Velocifero]

I may try to make it up there, I've always wanted to meet some of you guys. Should I bring anything? I make some bitchin wasabi deviled eggs. Is this an alcohol-free meet?

[Xenon Odyssey]

if this goes as the last philly meet-up did, you can either show up at andy and jill's place, or 30th Street Station in the city. either way, i believe we are all going to meet at 30th Street Station, mingle, and go from there.

of course, andy and jill are free in intervene and tell me i'm wrong or something, but i think this is how it's gonna play out

[DestheBard]

Well the wife just informed me that I have a charity football tournament to attend on saturday so if I am able to come it wouldn't be till later... but the tournament is to raise money for cancer research so I can't complain.
