@“Moon”#p65519 right on!
👆 Moon came to hang with me and played some video games in my crib last year! I can confirm they are a quality human being! If I was going to coachella I would definitely link with them, haha

@“Jaffe”#p65456 see a baseball game with me some time between May and October
Surely you meant between May and September.
[size=9]_Ha! Extremely specific baseball joke! Thanks, pop culture osmosis!_[/size]
that's a decent burn, I gotta say
@“LoBFCanti”#p65379 I‘m a hop skip and jump (less than two hours by transit or car) from NYC and would love to meet some of y’all masked face to masked face.
@"Jaffe"#p65456 I have a roommate/best friend not engaged with this forum who _is_ engaged with the Mets (while I am not), so I am interested
@antillese @tapevulture I'm down for a Seattle meetup
i could do a seattle meetup as well (depending on schedule), i'm up in bellingham
If Melbourne turned out to be a hot enough destination at some point, I would drink a coffee or a beer in your vicinity. I‘m talking about the Australian Melbourne, but hey if something happens in Melbourne, FL - I’ll do my best.
Don‘t expect anything huge, but I’m going to organize some kind of meetup around the Portland Retro Gaming Expo - which is back in 2022.

This convention is super fun and is the only time I've ever played a Virtual Boy. It owns. It also rules. It is probably tight, but I need to check on that with my kids.
btw anyone in the LA area is welcome to come hang with me at venice beach for the day, maybe play some games. I forgot I hadn‘t said that, I think my meetups so far were just from LA people dm’ing me
Any NYC-adjacent jabronis frequenters of Babycastles?
@“2501”#p66981 I haven't been there in yrs. Is it in a bigger spot now or something?
(moments after checking their site) Oh they are doing twitch stuff only. Last time I was there was for that mini-label showcase with Maxo, Fyutch and Ehiorobo. That was maybe 2017?
Sorry for the late update! For NYC folks-
May 14th is the set date! I will update with finalized details for later today- and later tomorrow (two plans minimum for backup).
Event page via Google calendar. If anyone want to arrange stuff for their region- I can add you as a editor for the calendar. @exodus & @Jaffe Let me know if you would like an add too.
Things should be good for Xenozero on May 14th | https://goo.gl/maps/nAxF1octStXacS1z7 | 21 Ludlow St, New York, NY 10002
$10 is full day play - I've been trying to get full spread of the games there right now via all electronic communication methods but I guess I really just gotta go in there this week. Tons of stuff came out since I was last there.
2 backups are just food- #1 is super close to Xenozero, has some vegan options and tons seating. #2 is at the food of Chinatown and right next to Little Italy. You guys know this you live here. Well the ones that do , do.
1) Essex Market - https://goo.gl/maps/6opH8TMUAd5jQjSA9 | 88 Essex St, New York, NY 10002
2) Canal Street Market - https://goo.gl/maps/6opH8TMUAd5jQjSA9 | 265 Canal St, New York, NY 10013
If anyone here is in Tim Rogers voice Indianapolis, Indiana - I would love to meet up and discuss our lack of good video game stores. I am 30 and moved here less than a year ago so always open to new friendships.
Also open to travel for Midwest based events.
@“kylebrizzown”#p68630 if there was ever a Chicago meetup i‘d consider it, that’s about halfway between us! I'm in Madison, WI. I suspect there is maybe 1 or 2 others here. Maybe a Milwaukeean?
@“kylebrizzown”#p68630
@"DavidNoo"#p68639
If you guys make a calendar event for it- I will add it to the calendar
Is there anyway to embed calendar into a post??? I would just slap into the original post.
@“DavidNoo”#p68639 I live in Madison too, but I am literally moving this Friday back to my mom’s house in Maryland for the summer lol. I remember seeing you mention somewhere you were in Wisconsin, but whenever people say that I always assume it’s not Madison! But all the Midwest people should do a (probably Chicago) meetup without me sometime this summer. I see scattered references to the Midwest on here fairly frequently, so I feel like there might be a decent number of people within a doable distance.
Anyways, I guess I’ll be like a three-ish hour bus ride from NYC when the meetup happens. Not 100% sure if I’ll go because my mom has a bunch of stuff going on, but we’ll see!
@“DavidNoo”#p68639 I'm in glamorous Sheboygan.
@“saddleblasters”#p68644
Oh dang! Madison is pretty nice in the summer but Maryland is cool too. I figure there must be some people around the Chicago area...
@"tomjonjon"#p68646 nice! I've been meaning to hit up that arts center there sometime. Also I hear y'all have a pretty good smelt fish fry? Not sure if that's your kinda thing.
@“DavidNoo”#p68669 Yeah, summer time in Madison is fantastic. Like you can be outside for a few hours and not feel like you need to take a shower afterwards. Maryland gets way too hot and humid!
