Austin SNK fans?

Talk about just about anything else that is non-gaming here, but keep it clean

*blows dust of thread*

The reason I'm resurrecting this is because the mom n' pop game shop in Lakeline Mall (Northwest of Austin) has opened a console gaming area. It is a pay per hour to play setup. I'm going to talk with the owners and see if they would be down for a big SNK event of some kind.

Here is the store's web site: http://gamerzaustin.com/gamerz/
Created a thread on their site forum: http://bbs.gamerzaustin.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8

Let me know if you're in the Austin area and you have Neo Geo equipment you wouldn't mind bringing.

Again, nothing official, this is still in the idea stage.

Cool, one step closer. I got a reply from GamerZ's in my thread on their site. They have no problem hosting a SNK/Neo Geo event. There is a fee to use their gaming area, of course. And they do not have systems or games. So donations will be needed. I could use some general help brainstorming what kind of event to hold - tourney, simple meet and greet?

But at least I have a place to set up an actual meet in Austin, now. Ok, so who's interested?

No one interested in helping me put something together? Or even attending?

I've only gotten 3 "definitely will attend" responses from friends. Surprisingly, no one I know in Austin is interested... these are people from Houston and Dallas. Anyway, I'm pushing a possible meet back to sometime in the Spring. If you're interested in helping put something together in the Austin area, post here or drop me a PM.
