christianscott27 Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 The summer has flown by, hope you made lots of great finds out there in yard sale land! if you did bring the doubles over, if you didnt come over and get other people's doubles. no yard sale, flea market or thrift store can match the retro-gaming goodness of our meets, its good to be a new englander! in addition to an unmatched selection of games we've got gaming contests and rare items to check out. our gaming theme this time around is "lets get phsyical", which means dance mats, snowboard controllers and other active items. fun for you and photo ops for us, it'll be something different. as for the other details- *anybody can attend, all you have to do is show up, its free and friendly *it doesnt matter if you have 1000 games or 10, theres something for every gamer and its often a steal of a deal *its in boston, the capital of NE of course but dont let that scare you, this is suburban boston and yes there is free parking. *we trade, we buy, we sell. anythings fair game so if you have old computer stuff to trade thats cool too, DVDs, cash also works. you'll be dealing with people like yourself, other gaming geeks not for profit dealers. we also offer a testing station for consoles. *to know what goes on at our meets in detail just visit our website (see sig) and check out the coverage of past meets. in a nutshell its 20 or gamers, 1 dog, a little bit of beer, an amazing gameroom, dozens of boxes of trade bait, friendly people. the last and key details- location for your mapquesting needs- 19 Anson Street Jamaica Plain MA 02130 time- sunday nov 3rd from 2pm til 8pm roughly, seems to peak around 5:00pm special guest- the return of NECG founder Joe Grand, in addition to being a charter member joe is also a modern atari legend. read all about his projects here http://pixelspast.com/ any additional questions can be answered by responding to this thread or PMing me.

aaron7 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Sweet! I'm a little lost though... is it this Sunday, the 3rd? Or in November? Also, where is it held? A church? Someone's backyard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Sweet! I'm a little lost though... is it this Sunday, the 3rd? Or in November? Oh jeez you're right....Christian's blurb (and the one I copied to the site, now fixed) had the date wrong! It's this Sunday. Also, where is it held? A church? Someone's backyard? Inside Christian's apartment. A little cramped when the trading gets rocking, but that's part of the charm. Plus he was one of THE most kick ass collection rooms I've EVER seen.

christianscott27 Posted October 1, 2004 Author Share Posted October 1, 2004 lousy lack of edit feature...well actually i screwed it up a bunch of times this run-up, it must that november meet we did last year that has me mixed up. i'd feel really dopey if somebody shows up next month, i'm gonna hide behind the couch until they leave the front step yes, now that we have THAT squared away, do show up, enjoy. it aint the biggest spot but i like the crowding in that it forces everybody to particpate and meet the other folks. and dont forget..it only seems crowded cause there are so many boxes of games to traded taking up all the room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aaron7 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Well, I'll be off to take the train to get there soon! Hopefully I'll get there by 3. Have to make a few detours first! I'm a NES collector; almost 300 games, 1/4 in box, endless boxed accessories, tons of controllers.. etc. So if you might have something I don't, bring it along! Looking for that wierd rock n roller controller... the one you stand on. lol I'll never get one!! Also, let me know if I should bother bringing my TG16, SNES, an NES or 2, etc!
