I'm game for a couple hours - Strassy let us know your plans...

TempoGL

i don't see why i couldn't make it by then.  count me in.

ultimate, if you check this thread beforehand, can you let me/us know if there are any reputable places in your area where one might acquire NES games?  i don't know if i've ever been to western springs before, and I like to check it out when I am on new turf.

No place really close that I know of to buy used games.  The Hollywood video used to have a few, but they went out of business a few months ago.  The nearest game stop is about a 10-15 minute drive northwest of me.

Should be about right, plus or minus 15 depending on traffic

I'm in for 4:30, assuming there is no blizzard.  I don't know anything about the weather right now but it's starting to come down.  But odds are I'll be there...

ultimate7

Hopefully it'll stop snowing in an hour and they'll be able to clear up the roads.  If not I'd have no problem if you can't make it due to the weather, it's pretty bad right now.

Looks like it has stopped snowing here.

If either of you have a good controller, bring it.  I have 3 working controllers, but only one I really have used regularly so I'm not sure how great the other 2 are.

snow is no excuse...if i can drive a mustang around in the snow, anyone can get around.

If the snow stays gone for the next hour, I'll be there...

Gantry

Still snowing out here, I'm probably out.  Sorry to be a party pooper folks, but I don't want to drive in snow and our streets still have no plows out yet...

I know Strassy is taking a Mustang out there and is a trooper, but he has to be in Tinley Park afterwards while I'm going right back to Wheeling to drink at the Tiki Terrace with Carly.  I'm definitely down for an organized monthly RBI gathering, be at Ultimate's or on a rotating basis...


TempoGL

what's the Tiki Terrace?  sounds enticing

No problem, I fully understand we can do it some other time when conditions aren't so nuts.

Strassy drive safe assuming you are still in.

Some bar with hawaiian type drinks, yet it's on Camp McDonald and Wolf Road so it can't be too classy.  Never been there, and apparently this is the last weekend it's open.  You are definitely invited after your dads, but at that point we may be somewhere else.   But text if you are down for a late night gathering...

This monthly RBI gathering needs to happen, the key is a consistent time.  Saturday afternoons are probably best.  Since Ult has a kid we should do it at his place a couple times.  Hopefully I can get Lips or Sperling to come along as well...

TempoGL

well, i may be putting the cabosh on this as well....i just checked travel times, and the time spent on 290 is allegedly going to be 47 minutes.  given than it takes me at least 20 minutes to get to 290, and then another 10 or 15 (?) to get to ultimate's, we are looking at about an hour and a half...i think i may actually skip my dad's altogether.  damn this chicago.

by the way guys, it would never take an hour and a half to get 24.9 miles in Bloomington-Normal...

But if you went 24.9 miles from Bloomington-Normal, you wouldn't get anywhere.

So looks like it's off for today

you'd make it to Lincoln, IL...and how can you go wrong with a town named after Abraham Lincoln?  answer:  you can't!

Rack is of course welcome as well, not sure he's played much ATG though.  Seriously once a month at a rotating location, I could probably make it most of the time.  We only need 3 or 4 of Ult, Gantry, Strassy, Lips, Sperling, Rack, plus maybe a couple random others each month to make it each time.  Beales could probably make it once in a while as well.
