I went to the first few meet ups and they were fun. Then the focus drifted from the Racketboy gamers and the meet ups were less fun. Driving to Austin is a full day commitment for me and costs me about $40 in gas. Why would I go when I doubt I will enjoy myself?
Fair enough. Then just don't come. Ignore the invite and the thread. No need to shit on it. That is elitist.

I bring a lot of my own systems and games (as do others, including yourself), and I have to go with what I know is going to be there. If we plan on a theme for something I don't have and I make the phone calls and set things up and then the person with the hardware/software doesn't show (or doesn't bring everything they need)... Where does that leave us?

You're right. Sorry I didn't show up to *all the meets and gatherings you initiated and followed through with.
*That's never happened.

If you're complaining about gas prices, travel time, texmex cuisine, and the occasional game purchase, I don't know what to tell you. If this was all in addition to your not having any fun, you only have yourself to blame.
