Tempest Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 A recent thread about thrifts in Michigan made me realize just how many SE Michigan AA members we have here. I'd really like to meet some felllow Michigan AA members, but last time I proposed a get together at Petes or Marvins everyone groaned that public places are no fun. In the interest of meetting some of my fellow gamers, I was thinking hosting a gaming night at my place. However it would have to be smaller than the Petes/Marvins groups as I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with 20+ people crowded into my family room (maybe next time). I'm down in Flat Rock which is pretty far south from most people, I'm not sure if that is going to be a problem or not. If you're interested, post something. If you have some system or games you'd like to bring you can list that too. If enough people are interested, I'll try and set something up. I have just about every classic and modern console made (minus the Xbox and 360), and a fairly large 32" TV so we should be able to find something fun to play. Oh, and I just might open up the prototype vaults that night if there's enough interest... Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricDeLee Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Tempest... I'd love to stop in sometime. Which Flat Rock are you in (Mapquest is showing 2 of them in Michigan)? I live in the Madison Heights/Troy areas.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 I'm down south of Taylor and Brownstown, basically right past the end of down river. I wasn't aware there were two Flat Rocks in Michigan. I'm probably about 45 min to an hour from you. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Climber Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 I got a chance to see some of these proto's at the Midwest Gaming Classic and it is an amazing collection. Too bad I'm in MN or I show up for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 I was thinking about hosting this on August 5th (two weeks from now). I can push it back if that's too soon (alot of people probably haven't seen this thread yet), but it has to be some time in August before I go back to grad school.

Tempest Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 Cancelled due to lack of interest? I'm open to a SE Michigan get together anywhere really, doesn't have to be my place. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 (edited) I don't think it's so much lack of interest as lack of locals. I know at least three people (myself, Chickybaby and z28in82) who would have come if we were closer :'( Maybe the people who you saw in the thrifts thread either didn't see this one or didn't live close enough? (Just guessing here) Edited August 1, 2006 by PacManPlus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 I think alot of the people who showed up to the last get together were from the DP board where I don't post. That may also have something to do with it. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Just guessing here) It's also having someone to watch our animal 'kids' too. We travel to around the Cleveland Oh area and that's a 9 hr drive 1 way. They would be ok alone for a day or two if we brought the dog along. I just don't feel comfortable with the hot weather (around 100 here all week) and doing that. You guys stay cool too!

Lemmi Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 since your closer now it would be easier for me to come over but i just dont care to play games that much anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 i just dont care to play games that much anymore Well to be honest, this was an attempt to get to know the AA people in my area more than a 'gaming match'. Also, long ago, I promised someone that when I got a house I'd host a get together. This was also an attempt to make good on that promise.

Tempest Posted August 1, 2006 Author Share Posted August 1, 2006 It doesn't have to be in August, that was just easiest for me. It can be whenever it's best for everyone. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Sorry... I forgot to check this thread after I posted. I'm in Little Rock right now anyways... Military training. I will be in Michigan full-time after the 1st of Sept. That is when all of my airport trips and training comes to an end. Most of my gaming stuff will be boxed up still, but anytime after 1SEP... that is a Non-Husker football gameday.. I can possibly stop in to hangout. PMs are the best way to get my attention. I rarely check any threads but Marketplace, Lynx, and classic Gaming.... So if I don't respond shoot me a PM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboypacman Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Dang,never check this out.I live in Saginaw am sure i could of worked something out to go to this.Just not anuff classic gamers in my area to network with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm still willing to have it if people want. The beginning of the year would be best, before my classes get into full swing. Either that or sometime in May between semesters. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
