Like Doc said, I'll most likely be attending. Will there be cake? :D

Lono and Volkov will bill hosting a party at Gameworks on the afternoon/evening of Saturday June 14th.

Cake is doubtful, unless Lono is convinced to bake. Again. This is not likely.

Exact Time TBD. Will be announced here when decided.

I'm going to try and work out my schedule with work to make it down from Minnesota for this. I havn't been home in awhile. It would be really cool to meet some of the community members. If I can make it I have a mini dv camera if you would like I could bring it and maybe figure out a way to put it up on the site.

I'll be there in spirit while my body's in Mexico.

Out of curiosity, why do you need someone age 25 or over w/ you at Gameworks? Me and my friends went there several years ago and nothing really happened, my friends dad dropped us off and picked us up.

I hate venues that are 21+...

Why the hell do I need an adult when I'm 20??? And sadly I'm less than 6 months from turning 21... :sad:

Though it doesn't say parental guardian... just an adult 25+.

Lono... will you be my adult? :lol:

Are there any other places that are more user friendly than that?

I really hate being stuck in the 18-20 age. You're legally an adult, but then shit like this happens where they still prohibit you from going to certain places just because you're not 21... What's the point of being an "adult" at 18 then?

Oh and I'll be coming from the Milwaukee area. If anyone else lives there and wants to carpool, hit me with a pm! 2 hour drive will be nicer if we can split the gas money!

DW, you can make that drive in about an hour and 20 minutes.

Well actually I'm about 40 min north of Milwaukee... so it's 2 hours for me. But seeing as I pass right through Milwaukee, I was seeing if there's anyone else that was coming from that area so we could carpool

Will this be something that you will have to book with Gameworks, and we'll have to tell them we're here for the SG Party or something?

05-30-2008, 01:23 PM
Well It's official. I have gotten the time off work and at home so I will be attending. I'm going to bring my video camera so I can capture the event for all to see if we are able to put it on the site. And don't worry Doc I won't let Lono take the camera since stated, Lono + Video = No good. Look forward to meeting everyone.

Damn I am so close, but I can't go. Not sure my parents would be over-joyed at the idea of me meeting with a bunch of gamers that they don't know.

I've got a count of 13 or so, not including myself... At this point, it's just going to be us meeting up at Gameworks. I don't have anything special planned yet. I just thought we could get some appetizers and play games and hang out. We don't have the cash to spend on the party, so I hope you guys aren't getting your hopes up about anything more than just hanging out there at Gameworks. I'm working on a few things and I'll let you know if there's any changes.

VinDali

No Limo?
No Lobster?
No Champagne?
Well, I guess I'll still come :D
Grabbing a little grub, playing a some games and meeting some SG Peeps sounds good.

Loki
06-09-2008, 01:30 AM
My friend and I will be there all the way from Rockford...which is about an hour away...nothing special.

Ill backlog to see if I can find an exact time, otherwise when does everyone else plan on being there? Between 6 and 9 pm?


EDIT: okay, 3pm is fine for me. I've been listening to the podcast since about episode 35 or so. Although, I have backlogged through the entire archive and listened to every show. I even try to check out the main site as much as possible. Looking forward to meeting you guys, it sounds like a blast!

Dude... you really need to have a talk with your parents.

kevmaster
06-15-2008, 07:32 PM
I wouldn't have been able to go even if I didn't go sailing, because they had no choice but to go sailing (they made me go with them) and I wouldn't have a ride, plus I wouldn't have a 25-year old to go with.

SWSilentkiller
06-15-2008, 10:46 PM
My dad was just too damn lazy to go with me (I would have been driving, I don't have my license yet, btu I will get it soon)
