So, when talking with Stefan last week, I mentioned I may want to bring back JSJ back to TMG. However, I need help from anyone who plans on attending next year. I mainly need to borrow a PVM, or two (I only have one) as well as crash space near the event. Carlson and Majors were my go-to source for a hotel room but, they're both basically done with TMG at this point.

I'd like to discuss this with everyone at Bob's but, just thought it might be a good idea to mention it here beforehand. Obviously, I would have to get Paul Truit's approval before I could do anything.

Let me know what you guys think.

I wish you luck, but I'm done with TMG I think, at least in terms of the show itself.

Anyone interested in a Pioneer TVM-251 25-inch composite monitor for $50? If yes, I'll bring to the meetup.

All original, never worked on. Good color, geometry, convergence. Cube shape housing great for TATE. Awesome 80's looks. Glass front. Dialed in nicely by yours truly. Maybe RGB moddable? Looks better than the pics. If no one wants it, I may rob the Hitachi tube inside at some point.

Similar vibes with the NorCal Arcade Club: we all come from far and wide CAX weekend; hardly any of us attend CAX anymore. We just end up at various member’s houses over the weekend.

$50

I like the cut of your jib!

In the spirit of DasMatt’s post, and the one of the running gags of this site…I present the $50 shipped (each) pile!

Of course, shipping is same day as I’ll be bringing these to the meat up. Person that purchases the most will get a special mystery cart for FREE.

I’ll also have a Blazing Star up for grabs…not for $50 bucks tho.

$51 for that one!

Aarrrgh…I got fucked by work after all. I was supposed to be home that weekend but now I will be setting up one of our new spaces in Nashville.

I’ve been coming for like a decade straight so this sucks. Tie one on for me boys and I leave it to you to figure out the tournament and trophies. If it is live on Twitch I will tune in for sure.

You'll be missed, Jeff.

Been texting Stefan. Apparently, we are having a World Heroes tournament where I have to play as J. Maximum?

Yeah, going to miss seeing the trophies and the Neo Driftout tournament.

Is there an F-3 board pile too?

I think you got the last of my F3 carts. I can dig around, but it’s been multi time for me, for a long time.

 

[herb]

So no ndo tournament?

 

[Jon]

No trophies, at least. I think we should try to have it anyway.

(The World Heroes tournament was a side tourney suggestion, not a replacement)

The good news: my kids both qualified for an away swim meet they haven’t been able to attend, since before covid.

The bad news: it’s over the weekend of this meet. I’ll be thinking of y’all as I eat Sheetz foods, and play neo in our hotel room.

I’m officially out.

Rai Rai is dead to me, as they have removed Moco Loco from the menu .

But yeah, hope to catch up at some point. My plan to throw a Fall meet fell through.

WCU has a great program; they want to go to Temple (daughter) and Penn (son) so we’ll see.

Jan 19 is WCU vs Penn in swimming at WCU if you want to take them

Any chance this year of Lucas driving out for the occasion?

Has Neodogg ever been to one of these?

Also, Stefan, tentatively, is bringing trophies for Neo Driftout.

Not to my knowledge, but hey, stranger things have happened. #Sylvie

You have his digits, why not reach out? FWIW, I have brought up bringing him along to him, in person, many times. He doesn't want to ride in a car for 8+ hours. I also suggested a plane ticket and @gusmoney could pick him up at the airport. Again, not interested.
