Austin Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I've been tossing around an idea for a little while now about perhaps having a few of the local forum members (DC/MD/VA) over for some classic gaming. I've met a few of you in person (Blazing Lazers, Skosh, and Lentzquest), so you are primarily whom this is targeted at right now. If we get something together though it would also be open to any other established members in the area (it would be great to meet other local AA'ers!). I actually don't get to meet up with gaming friends too often these days (most of my "gaming" friends these days are pinballers), so I thought maybe it would be fun to get together once in a while on, say, a Sunday or something, and just talk and play games throughout the day. I also have several pinball machines, a JAMMA arcade cabinet, a Vectrex in the main room, and a couple of TVs and computer monitors, so the gaming options could be varied on top of the usual pre and post-crash systems. If we wanted to get out of the house, I am also located right down the street from eStarland, so we could check out some games there as well (definitely worth a visit at least once if you haven't been there before! Maybe not for the prices, but for the sheer size of the store). Anyway, if any of you guys are interested in trying to get together one of these days, let me know and maybe we could set something up!

Lentzquest Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I might be up for it, just depends on the timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazing Lazers Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Same as above- timing is key. I'm absolutely keen on meeting up sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Great! How do Sundays usually work for you guys? With my current work schedule, that's technically my "Saturday", aka the first day of the "weekend" for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lentzquest Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Usually Sundays work out. However my plant is going into an outage here soon, so I'll be falling off the face of the earth until at least mid-march. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 No problem, perhaps we should plan for something after then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skosh Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I'd like to join as well and will be checking back mid-march. Sundays are for the most part free and hopefully will be then. Just like everyone else said timing can be a problem but should work just fine. Thanks for suggesting something like this Austin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 How do you guys feel about March 30th? Sunday. I believe it's the same day as eStarland's next Gamers Exchange, which I know both Skosh and Lentzquest have been to before. May be a kind of incentive or way of killing two birds with one stone, so to say? Let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skosh Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I'd say sure for me as things stand now. It has been ages since I've been to Fairfax and the last time I was at eStarland was when I saw you with my sister and her family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sounds like a potential plan. Lentzquest and Blazing Lazers, what about you? I could have last-minute plans at the, well, last minute.. I could put them off though if I can get everyone in on for this Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
