Title: November Funspot Gathering
Post by: TheSunshineFund on August 27, 2018, 06:50:41 pm: <Mruczek> 's annual Funspot gathering will be occurring the week before the US population thanks each other for stealing land. That would put it at Nov 11th through 18th or so. Figured I'd start a guest list.

- The Sunshine Fund
- Dave Nelson
- The Crams
- The Pro
- Brendan
- <Mruczek>
- Tony Temple
- Donald Hayes
- Robbie Lakeman
- Mr and Mrs. Sock
- Mr and Mrs. JivePants
- Mitch Mitchell
- Zerst
- More to come

It's a good time. Come on out.

Post by: syscrusher on September 03, 2018, 03:13:02 pm: I still might come. Another guy at work took his vacation in November, which would keep me from going if there's complete overlap. I'll check tomorrow. I do wanna be there! <Mruczek>

Post by: colecomeister on September 03, 2018, 05:55:21 pm: Are the dates cited Nov. 11 - Nov. 18 pretty much a go? I was planning a trip to Funspot later this year since it's been too long since I was last there, and it would be great if I could drop in on this annual gathering. I missed out on the International Classic Video Game tournaments held at ACAM/Funspot, and I didn't attend any of the Brofests organized by John's Arcade et al.

Post by: TheSunshineFund on September 03, 2018, 08:40:01 pm: They are, yes. I think <Mruczek> is typically there the whole time, most others are there for a few days or so depending on their schedules. I would say more towards the 14th or 15th into that weekend you'd see the most people. Dave Nelson holds his annual skee ball tourney on the sat 17th. Don't miss your chance to get owned by Jason Cram. :)

Funspot has recently added a Thief to their lineup as well. No, not <Billy> , but the actual arcade game Thief, which if the tape deck is working, is one of the best arcade games around.

Join the phun.

Ah, my wife had that surgery a long while back. Hope all goes well, best of luck and hope we see you guys there (not at the hospital, funspot).

Post by: bensweeneyonbass on November 08, 2018, 08:01:07 am: You gents and ladies have fun. I'll make it one of these days. When the kids are out of the house. So, like, twenty years from now Kappa

Any chance you'll have some mini-competitions, like pick a few games and see who can get the highest score for the week? I'd be interested because a) that's cool and b) maybe us nerds at home could play along on MAME

Nah, that would defeat the purpose of a casual trip to play whatever you want. I'll input stuff into Aurcade for people though if they want.

Always great to meet new friends as well as catch up with old ones.
