Ok guys, after a lot of begging on my part, I manged to get this up and running:

http://cheapassgamer.meetup.com


Please sign up, even if you are unsure if you would actually attend.
It would be neat to see which locations have the most amount of CAGs.

Thanks!

Good idea.

I used to go to video game swap meets in the early 90s with my Dad. I was around 11 years old and I remember walking around and seeing the Super Famicom for the first time (SNES wasn't even out in the US yet) and another time seeing the Turbo Grafix CD system and begging my dad to get me one.

I always wished they'd have another one, but i have yet to hear about another.

This sounds like just what I remember.

I have signed up, and verified my e-mail address by clicking the link in my message, but I can't log in (it just keeps taking me back to a blank sign in screen every time I try to enter my e-mail and password). Cheapy, do you have any idea what the problem might be?

Sorry Optimus, no idea...

Got it to work...problem solved.

I had the same problem. Had to open a new IE window before it would work. Now to see if Washington DC people will select the Capital City Brewing Company @ Union Station. Excellent place for a meet since the metro stops right there!

Yeah, I think this could really be great, if we just get enough people...spread the word!

signed up. ny represent!

Ahh scary.......... don't think I'll be 'meeting up' with anyone but good idea newayz cheapyd. :? ((pshhh.. not to mention the fact that i'm a GIRL and on this site... and i'm 14... and i don't .. need... to be... ridiculed.. by a bunch... of... old...(ok not necessarily old) men... that are obsessed with... games...)) AHHHHHHHH *runs away screaming* ](*,) :|

ridiculed? bah! were all about love here at CAG... okay well some of us are

amazing how there's one in my city.

Looks like North Jersey is doing a killing. 3 out of 64 Cagers are there from the current specs. Come on North Jersey people signup so we can show the rest of the cagers where the majority of the cheapasses are. w00t!!! w00t!!!

Though I'm kind of disappointed that Hooter's in Paramus wasn't chosen as a location. h00t!!! h00t!!! =D

Signed up, 4 peeps from Indy woo hoo.

I just signed up. But for my city, it lists the county! If you go to browse cities, Miami isn't even listed only Dade county. Strange, but I guess it's all good.

I think it's a Cool Idea as long as we get enough people to join we could get together and swap games and deals and stories . Sweet!

Cool enternai in G-ville too

what no love for poughkeepsie? guess that means ill have to go to new york. hey cheapy is there gonna be a minimum age thing for the meeting? i hope not.

also, i think it should be moved to the weekend. doesnt have to be, it would just help those of us with school and parents and curfews.

I am liking the idea of this becoming more like a swap-meet. I suppose it can be whatever type of thing each area turns it into. I'd be all for making some deal locally to save shipping with fellow CAG-ers.


I also remember swap meets back in the day. Only thing is, I was overseas b/c my dad was in the military at the time. They actually held the meet in the elementary school cafeteria and people had their computers set up to make you copies of programs on the spot. Just brought your own box of 5.25" disks! That's how I got a hold of classic games like "BC Tires" and "Big Top" on our 8088. Looking back, that was pretty freakin' immoral... If I meet the guy who wrote "BC Tires", I'll buy him a beer or something. Sorry, dude.

i love the idea but the meeting places closest to my area are still like 45 mins away
