Oh, I should warn you... the FaceBall game itself is... well... not very good.  I mean, it's a FPS for the original Game Boy - don't expect a lot out of it.  It's still going to be lots of fun, but no getting mad at me when you drive 14 hours to play the game...

I'm not going just to play Faceball. Its a reason for me to get out of the house and meet some people. I'll be coming back with pics!

Personally I'm coming to st...see your Nintendo collection and the many forummers who have made me into what I am today.

Also, Kashogi did you say you were coming?  If so could you bring your projector by chance?

Edit:
I added an event to the NWR Facebook as well.  I don't know UncleBob's real name or I give him admin rights to it.

Well, I'd love to come but it is about 1000 miles away which is a 15 and half hour drive for me. Maybe if this one is successful and another is scheduled in the summer, I'll shoot out there because I'll have some vacation days to use at work and a bit more money.

Has anyone sent an e-mail yet?  I haven't gotten any from NWR members...

I don't have a facebook account.

Bustin, I got your message, but I haven't gotten anything from Ceric... lemme check and make sure this is all set up correctly...

Count me in!

Since it's an 8-9 hour drive for me, coming up the day of probably wouldn't be a good plan (unless I want to get there all late and crap). Then again, I teach on Friday until 4:30pm, so I wouldn't be able to leave till late. So...

Between Lincoln, NE and Carmi, are you aware of any good places/cities you could recommend that I stop and stay over (preferrably one with cheap-yet-not-crappy hotels)? Then I could do half the drive on Friday, then finish it on Saturday morning to get there all punctual-like and with plenty of time for much game-playing.

I'm 13 hours away. Too far for me, sorry!

Yeah, me too!

I think we're going to have to get little nametags of our avatars, with our forum names underneath and our real names in parentheses underneath that, though, lol.

I noticed Ceric's invitation from facebook, but unfortunately because of my current low financial situation (3rd semester yet to be paid off) and I have yet to get my Canadian driver's license (I can drive but only in Portugal), so I cannot go with my upmost regret.
It's only 11 to 12 hours by car, and obviously even less by plane which is one way that I would surely use to reach UncleBob's own version of PAX.
Maybe next year.

Caliban - what part of Canada are you from?  I've got someone in Barrie, ON who is looking to drive down - perhaps you could car pool.

Anywhoo, I've turned off the SPAM filter from verizon.net, so if you've sent me an e-mail try resending one again...

Dress warmly, ay?

*Mr Burns* Excellent.


As for my projector, honestly probably not. Techinically, it's both my brother and mine.

So it's a toss up. I wouldn't depend on it.

I'd love to.  Absolutely love to.  But unless I win the lottery between now and then, it isn't likely to happen.  However, best of luck to everyone who attends!

Count me in, though I have no clue how far this is from Schaumburg Il but I will figure it out.  Oh and btw UB I have your DVD with Brawl footage just about done, I am dubbing in the music and then you should be good to go sir.  

EDIT:

It is a 6 hourish drive not bad.   Also an invitation for anyone traveling north down the night before.  If you need a place to stay after a long drive I can have one or two people stay at my apartment if they need a rest before the rest of the drive to UB.

Though thats why we signed up for email notifications, right? We won't be silly enough to post any actual addresses here...

I've tried to talk Pale into coming... He's the only one who's really expressed interest in it.
