Putting out a feeler on another version of ours truly Derrick's meet and greet pow wow at the fun spot seen here (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21876) but on the west coast.

The venue is the Metreon, it used to be where Sony showed off their new technology like TVs that cost $20,000 but now its like a mall/eatery/arcade. Its got a bad ass arcade with a lot of old-school games and classic kind of stuff too like metal slug and it also has all kinds of fighting games too. Three people have been shot there for cheating, how you cheat on an arcade machine IDK, but still, the locals there are serious and they don't mess around.

And they still had stuff like this lat time I was there . . .

You can get here any number of ways, but the easiest by far is to either drive to and park your car, take the amtrak or SFO airport to the BART train system which also allows bikes which are extremely useful in SF but not at all necessary if you just want to go to the Metreon. Also there's ferry boats that come in from all directions and the drop off points are an short walk or street car ride away.

I'm trying to organize this because I want to prove that I'm just plain better than you all at video games no matter what the game is, also when I kill you I can point at your face and laugh at you instead of trash talking in irc.

I think the question everyone wants answered is - Will Pristiq be there?

It would cost about $900 round trip for Pristiq.

Should do one in Texas. Somewhere near Dallas. It's roughly halfway between the E and W coasts, right? So it would be more convenient than having it on one coast or the other.

No, but I'm sure we have some Texan equivalent. Dallas has everything!

I'm also considering renting some asian party girls in bikinis to stand there and cheer us on as we play video games, just fyi.
