SC3 thanks everyone who came on May 12!

Sanriostar · May 14, 2007

Our expectations were far exceeded for Sat night's event; our own estimates show that around 110% of RSVP's attended! Thank you, everyone! The next one will be around late Sept, and ideas are being bandied about.

Why can't we do these more often? Personal lives, folks, and there's a consensus within all the planning council that we'd rather do more memorable meets of high quality and keep up the standard, than slap together a 'meh' meet once every-other month. We hope you understand.

Highlights:

"Uncle Steve's Ghetto Drive-In": we got some 2" PVC Pipe and vinyl-coated muslin and made an outdoor projection screen. TRON was the show of the night, and there were several requests for 'Joysticks'. That'll be at the next one, folks, as a late-night offering. There'll be some other things as well!

Arcade games: Steve (Shertz here on AA) has once again opened up his collection of arcade games for play. Out of all these, was the only known dedicated Zzyzzyxx machine! It's a fun game, once you give it a few tries, sorta a Frogger derivative.

Guitar Hero Room: All GH, all the time. This room didn't stop from start to finish. GH is a Classic waiting in the wings.

HDTV MAME: Rob W brought his Linux box, and Tankstick. It was like watching a moving EPSON print, folks, really. Beautiful.

DDR Frogger: MAME Frogger with a DDR pad hooked up. Really messed up, really fun. Try it sometimes, kids! Reminded me of 'Joyboard Combat" from our older meets.

Warlords $1 Tournament: Steve's cocktail Warlords machine became a top draw once the sun went down. Someone made a bit a cash after it was all said and done.

For dessert, Rob W. brought the much-threatened Custer's Revenge cake! Containing a tasty custard filling (you may now groan or go "Ewwww!" now), somehow he was able to slip it past the Albertson's bakery.
