The best part is when you actually do meet some of these people in real life. Back in the 80s (on Atari 8-bit hardware) and then again in the early 90s (on PC hardware) I ran a BBS called Phantasmal Alchemy. Eventually a monthly (I think) tradition was started called the PAFF - Phantasmal Alchemy Face Feed. Basically a bunch of members from the BBS would gather at a local pizza parlour and stuff ourselves. It was always a blast and I met quite a few people I never would have met otherwise. This isn't as easy to do with a global website vs. local BBSs of days past, but it's still possible at shows like CGE. I met several people at CGE 2001 from the boards here and I'm sure I'll encounter many more at next year's shows (PhillyClassic, CGE2K2, etc.) At least those I can manage to attend. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one of these days I will plan a long excursion to Europe, and I'll definitely hook up with as many people from here as I can. Just need to find people in each country I plan on visiting. And make sure I have lots of cash to buy games and ship 'em back to the States. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lange Posted December 31, 2001 Share Posted December 31, 2001 My girl friend and I will be in the UK from the 18th to the 27th of Jan. We are going to go visit Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We are thinking about enrolling. Anyways - Are there any good Atari dealers in the greater London area? Also, is a "Boot Sale" the same as a "Flea Market"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lange Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 quoteThe best part is when you actually do meet some of these people in real life. In the mid eighties, I used to call a BBS in south Jersey. I met a bunch of people and we used to meet for breakfast at Denny's once a month (except in the summer as the beach traffic sucked big time) for a couple of years. For some reason, I stopped going when the SYSOP had a sex change ... not that there is anything wrong with it ... just felt weird to me. My girlfriend and I are planning to go to Vegas Aug 10-12. Anyone else going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
