Bruce Tomlin Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I know there's quite a few of us in the San Antonio/Austin area... so why don't we get together more often? I've got most of my Saturdays next month taken up, except the 20th, but most of my Sundays are open. I don't have too much of a problem with having one at my place (in the NW 183 area), and the house is wired for Ethernet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I'm all for a semi-regular get together here in Austin. It can start at someone's place, and if it gets big enough we could even find a cheap / free meeting room somewhere to use. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tomlin Posted February 26, 2004 Author Share Posted February 26, 2004 Oh, as long as I've got your attention, the Goodwill on NW 183 has an Atari 2600 set in their auction case this week. Looked like about 25-30 carts, with 2 or 3 ColecoVision carts in there. Nothing really rare. I think I only saw one cart that was moderately interesting.

+Sauron Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Auction case? Didn't know Goodwill had something like that, but then the only one I ever go to is Goodwill Computer Works... I've found a fair amount of Atari stuff there, although nothing really rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Okay, since nobody has said anything about dates, I'm going to go ahead and decide on March 20, starting around noon or so. Details on directions will be posted as the date approaches. For now it should be good enough to say that I'm near NW 183 and Anderson Mill.

Bruce Tomlin Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Uh, forget that. I see why March 20 is bad. Unless we have enough for a "we can't make it to Philly Classic" party. Beyond that my only good dates are the Sunday 7th and the 14th. Any preferences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything before (and including) the weekend of the 20th is bad for me, but mark me down for the meeting following that. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cvo Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Anything after April 3 is good for me. I have a major release end of March and then I have guests coming into town the first weekend of April. Maybe the second weekend of April?

+davidcalgary29 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Be sure to take some pictures, please. I'd like to include some of them for the next issue of the SCAT Newsletter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 When I say my weekends are pretty full in the near future, I mean it. The only problem with the second weekend of April is that I'll be taking care of my mom's dog that week... very old, deaf, insecure, and fragile, and likes to lie around where he can get stepped on. I can probably convince him to stay in the back yard most of the day IF the weather is good. But now we're talking more than a month away. If there are enough "can't make it to Philly" people interested in just meeting for the evening on the 20th, I'd be willing to do that too.

Bruce Tomlin Posted March 8, 2004 Author Share Posted March 8, 2004 Okay, then, let's try for April 10. Would folks be interested in something more or less monthly? It looks like my 3rd Saturdays will be open for the rest of the year except for October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted March 24, 2004 Author Share Posted March 24, 2004 Okay, PC5's over. Time to bump this topic. April 10, my place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Pretty good chance I could make it down for that. I was planning a trip to Austin early/mid April anyway. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Actually I probably won't be able to make it. That's Easter weekend, and my parents are planning a get-together. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Tomlin Posted April 9, 2004 Author Share Posted April 9, 2004 After lunch would probably be best, so I'm going to say 1PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted April 30, 2004 Author Share Posted April 30, 2004 Okay, so nobody came. Is anyone interested in trying again? Good days for me seem to be May 22, June 19, and June 26. July 3 would be good too, but I imagine everybody would want to get out and do something else for the 3-day weekend. June 19 is the date I'm favoring right now. And by that time the CC2 should be shipping, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 June 19 is the date I'm favoring right now. And by that time the CC2 should be shipping, too. Of the dates you put forward, June 19th is the best for me. May 22nd is out of the question for me, as I will be at the Midwest Gaming Classic, which takes place that weekend. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Okay folks, June 19 is just a week away. Everyone be sure your calendars are marked. On another matter, I got a copy of PS2 Midway Arcade today for $20. Mmmmm, I wanna try Robotron with my enormous PSX dual analog joystick.

Albert Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Okay folks, June 19 is just a week away. Everyone be sure your calendars are marked. Sounds good, I may need a gentle reminder before the weekend. Where at this time around? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Tomlin Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Same bat time, same bat channel... starting at 1PM Saturday so everybody will have had lunch already... http://fanboy.net/ah/ (Yes, I normally use the map for something else.)
