Hell yes. I'll bring component cables for my 360 then.

Sierra Nevada work? :)
I can drink sierra, but I prefer something with more of a bite like Racer 5, Drakes IPA, Firestone Union Jack. My other regular is blue moon, I could drink that pretty much all day with some fresh orange slices. I'll let you guys know whats up once I talk to my boss.

Heh, Blue moon was my original choice. A fine drink.

Hope you can make it!

Sounds like a plan. I just gotta find a table or something to put it on since I have more TVs than places to put them. :shock: I'll get it fixed before then. :)
What a maneuver!

It is a small tv so it will fit anywhere. It is the newer model of the same Toshiba Ben has.

I should be able to come. The 24th should be perfectly fine for me. (or most Saturdays this month for that matter)


Could sevin0seven bring his Jaguar? (I've been wanting to try one for a while and I think I brought it up at the last meet-up)

I've seen Jesse's place recently and I really don't think we'll be needing any extra TVs . . . unless maybe you'd really want more than 1 CRT with component. (he's got a nice ~25" Toshiba CRT with component/composite/s-video, your old big set with composite and s-video, a little Sony Trinitron from 1985 with nice composite output, a little RF-only Phillips -I think- with really nice RF output, and an old RF only Zenith that doesn't work very well in general -probably won't use that one)

Also, Ben gave his Toshiba to me since he's running short on space (Jesse's little Sony is also from Ben) and Ben got a really nice 14" PVM monitor to use instead.


The bigger issue in Jesse's place would probably be finding a good seating arrangement for everyone.

The whole reason I was going to bring it was for TATE purposes

@Kool Kitty: Yeah, I have enough sets but one more component ready TV can be useful. Also, because the roster has increased, if we run out of room we can play outside. :P Jk, but not everyone is probably going to be playing at the same time so it should be fine. We'll be out BBQ-ing and talking as well I'm sure.
What a maneuver!
