Alright, something's come up and I'm going to be out of town over the weekend. Sorry guys.

We'll have to set something up soon, though. Maybe for July.

I actually ended up having to go to Austin on Monday, but to pick up an Amiga.

Checked out Game Over on 183 & Lamar. Awesome store!

Sweet! I hope you can make it back some time for one of our meet ups. I would like to shoot for some time in July.

Nothing so far. My birthday is in the middle of the month, so I guess we could make something of that.

What weekend during July would be good for you guys?

OK, if everyone is ok with that weekend after the 4th, I will sent an email to David to ask him what Game Over's availability is at the Lamar store. This would probably be during business hours on the Sunday the 8th.

Someone on shmups posted this:
Friday, June 29 – Brutal Retro Shooters Day
Speed runs, time trials, score attacks on classic shooters such as Contra, MegaMan, Raiden, & more.
Plus, a massive super soaker water gun battle in the parking lot!
This is at the Lamar & 183 Game Over.

I emailed David to see if he is accepting offers to bring up shmups and other run n' guns. I also asked him about the 8th. I should hear back from him around Monday or Tuesday next week.

I got a reply from David.

Regarding the Classic Games Fest event they are doing for run n' guns/shooters on 6/29, he explained that they have games and events pre-planned for the CGF events, so no bring alongs. I will probably head over there after work to check it out. Let me know if you guys are going.


He also gave us the green light for setting up a meet on the 8th of July. Let me know if you guys could make it. I still want to do a shmups run n' gun theme.

I'm thinking I can make this.
